Missed Connections

Faded eyes and restless feet
you turn corners that aren't fit for me
Criss-crossed eyes and restless heart
I don't stand still and I don't know if I can start
We're bundled up, in covers thin
eyes shut tight, suspended
Blisters red, and snakes that kill
with them there's a might, but with us there's a will
Nameless creature, I think it's best that we
swallow whole whats seeping from our chests
Crystal evenings, to foggy nights
we're up and out before the light
Unlikely stranger, unlikely friend
you and I, we're unlikely til the end
Missed connections, and sleepless flights
if we have a future, then it's far and out of sight
The Milky Way dissipates
leaving nothing but a trace
Missed connections, sleepless flights
If we have a future, then it's far and out sight
Then it's far and out of sight

Ironwood

I leaned into you as we both slipped in at the edge
sticking noses too far into murky water's breath
and the eyes cast suspicion
as we fell into that granite shore
Flipped I followed you as you veered down the slope
through cacti which reach their nails out to stroke
so deep in my skin
your blade could not restore me again
so deep in my skin
my eyes rolled back and I remembered him
I labor over words after you're long asleep
tucked in the safety of an ironwood tree
and surrounded by jury
Ill keep my confessions to myself
You shook me so hard that I came to my wits
chipped away layers and laid them on thick
and I ran down the mountain
rewriting the words to your song
and I ran down the mountain
and my eyes rolled back and I wished you were gone

Uncertainty
05:19

Poisoned by love, I thought that you'd stay down
but doubts breed between us
propagate like demons
too learned to look away, too bound to fray
Expectations engender distress, and I've built you to the point of fiction
calm down and face ahead
blow out lights and rest your head
I'm still here with you
rested in your arms I am
Abrasive like cuts in corners
the smallest grain could tip me now
swabbing lacerations like brushing teeth
tending to you by way of me
tormented to live through your eyes,
privileged to see through your eyes
I'm reaching into the mouth of an addict
I'm cleaning the teeth of a crook
We're learned to not hold each other hostage
With all of our lost hopes
Poisoned by love I thought that you'd stay down
breathe your doubts into me
truly I love your uncertainty
breathe your doubts into me
truly I love your uncertainty
Be with me, move with me
jump into me, and suffer with me
Fight with me, wait for me
hold onto me, and breathe in me
burrow into me, breathe right out of me
sense from within me, stay with me
live in me, hide in me, sleep inside of me
sing from me, sing from me

Sirens
03:20
|

|
lying on your skin, like a hymn
that we both wished we believed
promises to see you again
when the world turns colder
communicating with lips closed
living in the glass
frozen in the same stiff pose
from when we were together last
in your absence Ive committed myself
to the pages again
holding your letter near
I hope that youve kept mine
moving your photo, dear
until it is our time
sirens dancing off your face
as we pace through the empty Midway lawn
zipping up the walls
as we sulk under
the Grand Teton
pulling my hands to cite
the days til I am gone
boiled down and fists are drawn
cause I've lost of how I look when I'm not with you
holding your letter near
I hope that youve kept mine
moving your photo, dear
until it is our time
holding your letter near
I hope that youve kept mine
moving your photo, dear
until it is our time
