Last Hike

Bought a tent and some food
Packed a backpack full of tools
Let’s hike to the top
before we go down
Figure out a way
To share a town
Did what we had to babe
We’re almost through but
Where do we bury the body now
Being right can get you far
If where you’re going is Mars
Take that space suit off
Let’s just reminisce
Part with anything
that’s still on the list
Did what we had to babe
We’re almost through but
Where do we bury the body now
It’s been dark for a while
Barely any life left in this fire
Put on the kettle
We’ll settle it
Sometimes the pieces
Can fake the fit
Did what we had to
Let’s finish this
Where do we bury the body now

Damn this weather
I wanted to wear leather
Not the real kind but something better
Tonight
Hoping I see him
Just to know he was hoping to see
So I can feel a little better
Tonight
I’ll conjure up a small mess
A filter to see the rest
Of the night through until I’m undressed
Simple pleasures come find me
Little forevers don’t blind me but
Make it better
For the night
Hoping I see him
Just to know that it, it really happened
In an hour I’ll know nothing about it
For the night
I’ll conjure up a small mess
A filter to see the rest
Of the night through until I’m undressed

Stoop
03:28

The mist collects on my
Eyelashes
As I wait outside
For no one specific
And you roll up
Like you’ve been here before
I’ll dry you off
with my cheap hair blower
The night like dominos
collapsing fast so
Take off my shirt
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Take off my shirt
I don’t need it
I don’t need it
The summer comes
With restless yearning
And what’s the fun
In staying collected
So I fess up
Cause I’ve been here before
You want to mess up
Baby it’s easy
you pushed the domino
Windows are losing their glow
Take off my shirt
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Take off my shirt
I don’t need it
I don’t need it

Motel

I’m thinking it’s ok
to drastically up the stakes
and if I want to be
on my knees in a cheap hotel
I’m not looking away
cause it’s all mine to gain
You hold on so tight
like you’re an only child
and you feed me the lines
but I’ve had too much wine
quite wasting the night away
cause it’s all yours to gain
So honey get on this wave
Or please get out of the way
cause it’s all going down
and I can’t stop it now
but I never want to crush you
I never wanted to
Cause this year is drowning fast
Does it have to be such a disaster
cause it’s all going down
and I can’t stop it now
but I never want to crush you

Watering
03:34

Something felt different at the end of may
I let myself get carried away
Tiptoed around him so he wouldn’t stir
Watered his plants and let all mine whither
I’m trying my best hoping the rest
Falls in place if I can keep a straight face
I wish we had grown up on the same block
Knew the same smells, schemed the same plots
I never can help myself when I get the chance
To break at the hands of some pseudo romance
I’m trying my best hoping the rest
Falls in place if I keep a straight face
Something felt different at the end of may
I let myself get carried away

Thumbelina

Saw the fog
Creep up the river
They stood there watching
As it rolled over me
Smoking their loose cigarettes
Laughing loudly
With my enemies
You want me
Small and unseen
Thumbelina dance
Thumbelina sing
Spinning slow
In a jewelry box
Thumbelina dance
Thumbelina sing
The snow falls thin
In the city at night
I kissed him
just out of spite
Motionless sleeping
In the deepest blue
In a whale's dream
I can forget
Everything I knew

At Ease
03:53
|
|||
When the weather turns
And windows are open again
when the cat tracks the birds
With silent yellow eyes
With 3,000 miles
Between us
I’m at ease
When your love
whirls around me like violins
and my eyes aren’t
clouded by fantasies
When you say my name
So early in the morning
I’m at ease
You pulled me out of my
solipsistic dream
With such ease

Mediterranean

The shirt that you gave me on my birthday
Lives on my body, collects more stains
You wonder why I don’t just throw it away
But you never got how I need my mistakes
The stoop that I smoke on, it knows me well
I throw my weight on when I feel compelled
To melt into nothing forget how you smell
And trace all the dents I made those nights I fell
Did I leave a mark on you, it’s hard to tell
I couldn't let go of that night at the beach
We wove our tapestry effortlessly
What if we stayed there and never married
Safe by the mediterranean sea
I couldn’t swim here, in waters so deep
