In my room, Not alone
YA YA! YA!
I've burned a hole into this chair
typing out the list of what I own
Rugs to throw and shirts to wear
I'm not alone no I'm not alone
we go out on the weekends
we walk on empty beaches
we go out on the weekends
we walk, but nobody sees us
Ya Ya! Ya!
When my ribbon loses ink
I count the table legs by hand
trying not to spill my drink
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
we go out on the weekends
we walk on empty beaches
we go out on the weekends
we walk, but nobody sees us
In my room
In my bed
In my room
In my bed

Come on
blank white slate
im yours to draw on
outline my shape
fill my nothing
come on
nameless feelings
steal my breath
i think to myself im crazy
lustful dread
naked flesh
in your ten fingers
clothe me hold me
make me quiver
come on
nameless feelings
steal my breath
i think to myself im crazy
lustful dread
send me soaring
vibrant fall
come greet me tonight
oh holy
open arms
you, you are perfect
yea you, you're insane
don't look down
Walla Walla, WA
come to me
we walk these streets of this town with two names
i hold your hand and you keep me sane
i can be... yours for now
late at night and no one stirs
we own this town, this town is ours
i won't leave you... stay with me tonight
suburban glow plays our host
as mighty benches draw us close
squeeze me tight on the darkest night
and let the silvery moon spurn morning light
lets go retreat to the feilds of wheat
where the tallest grass hides us beneath
i won't leave you
six by six ill kiss your lips till dawn
lock our legs and hold me in your arms
come to me
Quiet Nights
You're my ground
Where I break my falls
I feel safe
in your harness arms
what makes me shift, clench or burn or stall
is the thought
that I am not your ground
ground
I recreate
the feeling of your skin
with my exact
memory of it
and it makes
all of my breaths deep
all my breaths
all my breaths are deep
Deep
Take, me, there
where it lies
confusion speaks
On quiet nights
i’m usure
where to stand
in dark rooms
take my hand
Ocean
Wordless fire
wordless fire
creeping out the
basement door
basement door
basement door
at ease
You're an ocean
Youngstown, OH
tell me that im the one youre looking for
tell me the secret to being so hard to get
spare me the attitude
i want to be with you
under the willow tree
we could be beautiful
take off your glasses and look in my eyes
count every speckle that graces your iris
and failing to whisper
you yell in my ear
music too loud to speak
lifes not in stereo
and i dont give a damn if im just not your type
i may not be pretty but i look alright
so lets forget the bright lights and drive through the night
tonight
resting your head on the passenger door
finger-paint pictures of women and babies
but i see the watermark
and the fine print saying
nothing is what it seems
nothing is certain
we'll cozy up under the blanket of night
we are both beautiful
we are both beautiful
and i dont give a damn if im just not your type
i may not be pretty but i look alright
so lets forget the bright lights and drive through the night
tonight
the wind in the willows
and the darkness fades
sun on your shoulder
hand across my face
and i dont give a damn if im just not your type
AND I KNOW IM NOT PRETTY BUT I LOOK ALRIGHT
AND IM ALWAYS SO FUCKED, BUT ITS DIFFERENT TONIGHT
TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cold Mountain
Cold mountain
Snow River
Journeyed far and wide
Empty thoughts and deep emotions
all cloaked in disguise
Cold mountain snowy river
keep me in mind
I'll remember
our shared winter
under city skies
city skies
See you in the morning
I want to see you in the morning
build a bridge up to your sky
stole your car while you were sleeping
you said you liked project guys
I'll try to be a gentle creature
when you think what others do
I'll try out every combination
to steal a diamond ring for, youuuuuu
Gathering the information
to keep you rooted to your seat
laughter is a recreation
of the way that life should be
and if you ever were to leave me
throw my head into the fire
I'll piggyback you across bateman
strumming chords of our desire
I
was once loved
on a rainy
afternoon
i've only had
wet dreams
since then
Short story
i really want to see you tonight
memories of your lips flood my absent mind
you said you write stories in spare time
i am an island, gardens overgrown
you were always on about something
your words and pen paint a picture
i never saw
chasing ideas out of the margins
will you write about me?
woke up to the glow and the sound of
machines
your words rain over my dreams
your stories keep me company when i am alone
and you were always on about something
your words and pen paint a picture
i never saw
chasing ideas out of the margins
will you write about me?
will you write about me?
youre out of style
you have been for quite some time
but what a smile
you cut through me like diamond
Bread Letters
As a child, bent my knees
asked the man in the sky to give me things
Bread letters addressed to feed
starving romance
inside of me
Let me know............
As our spoken voices trail
will love grow slow
like fingernails?
bread letters addressed to feed
starving romance
inside of me
and I'm STONED
like fancy crackers
On your porch
OUT on your porch again
YA YA! YA YA! YA Ya! Ya ya! YA YA!
I was a Fool
We settled down
Our Bodies warm
Eating dust
the locusts swarmed
and when I made my bed
I tried to cry
But I had no guilt
Left inside
I was a fool
We were both fools
When I turn my head
to the side
I see past fortune
out the corner of my eye
I was a fool
we were both fools
Those tender fields
and rich green folds
the deerpark gardens
mock our dry bones
I was a fool
we were both fools
