Checking In

Pass the pages
Pass the day
Do my best to make an origami snake
Moving from me, resembling you
Patterned and coloured green and blue
I’m just checking in
I’m sleeping
I’m feeling alright
I used to be your burden
But we were both birds on a wire
Did you not ever tire of having me do my best for you
Spending your days in my room
I’m just checking in
[Are you] sleeping?
[Are you] feeling alright?

Slow Down
03:35
|

On the drive home
We take the long way round
The bed is so cold
I wish you would slow down
Nevermind on the turntable
Close my eyes
Embrace new fall
I wonder if you left
The bruise by accident
Or the walls unpainted
Youth in artefact
In the quiet
Why do you talk so loud?
In the silence
Is your Mother proud?
Small talk
Between our teeth
Distance growing
My hands are always cold
You never know
I wonder if we were
Anything more than comfort
New skin for the old hurt
You just make this worse
I wonder if you ever knew
I say your name aloud in every room
If the walls are painted blue
I can’t forget you

A&E&A&ME
02:27
|

We're bleeding out our vitriol until we're older than old
Give your regards to Charlie
I'll exist as A&E&A&ME
Who'd have thought that bad decisions would mean worse consequences
Is this the best you've ever felt
Knowing your luck ducked out
And the truth is irrelevant
There's no use in telling us no
Crosswords in the kitchen
Ghouls in the backroom
The next thing we'll do that matters is die
So sit up straight and focus
Who'd have thought that bad decisions would mean worse consequences
Is this the best you've ever felt
Knowing your luck ducked out
And now the truth is irrelevant
There's no use in telling us no

The rose bush in the garden survived the winter
Survived the dry spell
Survived your absence
I guess we all did
I’ve been gathering the things from house
27 years separated out
Into what I can live and cannot live without
More than that I miss having you around
I haven’t felt close to anything since I held your hands and lowered you down
Into the cold hard ground
Lately I’ve been collecting pieces of your memory
And spending too much time in the cemetery
Placing flowers on your grave
To the left of your parents
A new home was made
Elizabeth you still fill me with shame
If I said your name
27 times
Would that bring you back to life?

Mount Pleasant
06:00
|

The sky splits for me and contrails evaporate
For a high red moon
Saccharine love or blood and hate
Drawing lines between the skyline dots
A northern star for the southern stain
The long grass taken by the estate
The big rock visit or the astral plane
Through wild waters and hands clasped
The tide decides the time we have
Put aside the mind to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
The railroad splits for me and crossroads exacerbate
My reluctance to choose
Between fields and fanes for a place to lay
The stolen lead and the grounded slate
All across the great divide and these greater plains
Like wildfires we'll take the land
And everything that it has
Leaving no one left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
Scaling walls a heart in half
We saw two swans flying and thought of Mark
Relive my childhood on the asphalt yard
We thought living would be easy but it's sure been hard
But tonight, it's alright
It'll all look different in the daylight
Through wild Winters we'd lose the ampersand
The tide decided the life we'd have
With no mind left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
Like wild horses we'll grace the land
And tire until we no longer stand
Leaving nothing left to understand
That the ghosts that haunt us are weaker than the untimely failure in best laid plans
I wanted this
I needed this
There's a feeling and a reason
It's deeper than the river bed
And meant more than we'd ever meant
We'd rest our legs
We'd rest our heads
And wish that we'd never met
But I wanted this

Story Of An Artist
03:08
|

Live in the spirit world now
Can I come over & haunt your house?
Sit in your old bedroom where we could once move and let our bodies intertwine
Be my spirit girl now
I’m tired of always waiting around
Just come close, let me hold smoke
Let your hands count the time
Hours pass by
Minute by minute
Night by night
Outside and in
Crawl under my skin
Honey
Hi, How Are You?
The devil has Texas
You’ll never know how much it means to us
Staring at the sink
Watch the water drip
Thought I’d be over this by now
I guess that was a lie
I’m sentimentally attached to everything
A drawing of a bike
Baby come over & see me tonight
The story of an artist
I should never be an artist

(Sweet Sweet) Anxiety
02:42
|
|||
I've never had a dead friend
Some I lost, others I left
But none I could ever forget
Leave me hanging for a second
The love I lost and lust I left
My routines repeat again
Sweet sweet anxiety
You seem to see me knees weak and arms still flailing
But would you leave me if I asked?
You became a usury
A debt that I could bet against me
I went in for it anyway
A piece of you for all of me
A day you'd trade for 20 years
My routines repeat again
God knows I'm sick of me
Sweet sweet anxiety
You seem to see me knees weak and arms still flailing
But would you leave me if I asked?
Sweet sweet adversary
Won't you see me, like Bradley on the jetee
But would you meet me if I asked

Into You
02:15
|
|||
Watch the sun roll
Through your window
Into your bedroom
Are your walls still blue?
Kiss me soon
Hold my hand and feel the bloom
(I’ll be home soon/ baby you never knew)
I’m into you
You know I’m into you
Bicycles and dead friends
Long walks and sleeping in
Instead of spending the afternoon
Thinking about you
You’re so far away
Yet I still feel the space you used to take

New Prayer
02:44
|
|||
I hope you don't mind me saying that you don't lose the things that you throw away
You weigh up your decisions with equal indecisions and call it off for another day
Are you itching to leave
Or to fix everything
You're still in the tunnel
But I swear it gets better
A confession
Her eyes
The taste of your lies
You've got a second chance at life
We spoke for close to an hour and it was coming on midnight
You speak through sighs of the uphill fight and wish away the sunrise
Are you longing to leave
Or to fix everything
You're still in the tunnel
But I swear it gets better
A confession
Her eyes
The taste of your lies
You've got a second chance at life
So call time on your despair
And say a new prayer

Stay
04:29
|
|||
Have I told you enough lately that you’re everything to me?
After 2 weeks in the same bed I’m feeling like myself again
I always preferred the mornings but I don’t mind leaving them behind
There’s a thorn in my side
I’m a girl and you’re a boy tonight
The halos around your eyes flicker and fade
Put your glasses on
Put the heartache away
Please stay
It’s harder to find the words/ it’s only getting worse
I don’t care how much this hurts
Please stay
You always feel the cold
But stand outside so I’m not alone
I’m not sure if you ever noticed
That you grind your teeth when you feel nervous
So come
Relax a while
Lay your head on my chest
I’ll try not to die without you by my side
Trace words in to my skin
In circular motion
I’ve never been
Good at guessing
