am I brave if I look you straight in the eye?
uninvited stranger
waiting for the right time
come sit next to me when you feel like you've had enough to be a brave man, too
"It gets better" someone wrote on the bathroom stall
couldn't hear you over the music
so I smile nod, smile and nod
turns out my love language doesn't coincide with yours
maybe we'll try until we're furious or we're bored
I feel tired
it is strange to look this city in the face
vacant as I'm wandering
vacant occupying space
come sit next to me, hang over the roof's edge
carry me drunk down the stairs, precarious
its a mouthful when I'm defensive
carrying mortal weapons
carry false pretensions
its an effort
its a consequence
its a cigarette in my hand
it is not a friend
I feel tired
I feel

true
I'm truest when I learn how to stay
and true
its easier when I am away
how can I tell the difference between quiet and a mind at peace?
I can hear myself talk
I can hear you not listening
is it right
I learned to lie?
better to lie than to lie down
hands in my pocket
walk the other direction
like I am
cool
I keep a cool head like there's nothing to prove
I keep my hand close like there's something to play
I don't know any other way
how can I tell the difference between waking and asleep?
is it right
I learned to lie?
Better to lie than to lie down

sink into the evening
slip in closer to me
cause I know what this is
hands under the table
watching like my body's not my own
cause I know what this is
I only know how to be in love
I only know how to be so wholly involved
is this what you're used to?
feeling so unused to
wondering what you can do
and wondering if I'd like it, too
catch me on a good night
catch me when it feels right
when we know what this is
solitary investment
solitude is shared best when
when we know what this is
do we know what this is?
what is a place and what is a home?
live in my suitcase
I don't belong to anyone
is this what I'm used to?
feeling so unused to
wondering what I can do
wondering if you'd like me to

have we wasted all our time?
here we go again
I don't know how to define
what is home again
its a toast here every night
always the lament
have we wasted all our time?
you
is it you
really you
is it?
you don't like to
show your hand too early
we don't like you
but we're here to play
take a bow now
we pretend it isn't
good investment
mouths full of your name

I walk to the avenues
watch the sun debate a night
feels like some dramatic trope
themes of nostalgia
character plight
and place is a mantra
repeated til a voice is tired
oh what a sensation to
shiver in heat
112
running back to my apartment
seven blocks and I feel something
wild like water cold in my hands
wonder where my thoughts are swimming
I stand right next to the edge
a Texas spring
summers begin
with space speaking like a friend
a voice you know
an aiding hand
and I like to visit you
in corners of a space I knew
I watch children scale the trees
and dive right in
just like me

you wait all night
you wait for the right line
if you don't let those things lie
you'll wait for a long time
and I'm always on time
for talking shit about things I don't know
a routine delight
I spend three hours wondering if its time to go
you wait
til its too late
you're too old to play these games
there's no winner, just the same
everyone's in the queue
to talk right over you
gets heavier it seems
and now its four in the morning
guess its time to go

Words For No One
03:53
|

|
Writing words for no one
With a hand that no one else could know
I never asked for this body
I never ask for much at all
regarding the divine
this god isn't mine
everything is moving slowly
everything is slowly closing on me
everyone is talking softly
pressed against the window waiting for the sign to come
writing down every morning dream
like there's secrets in every syllable
busy hands make idle minds
but my busy mind's inconsolable
regarding time
this life isn't mine
everything is moving slowly
everything is slowly closing on me

wander
after midnight
in the pouring rain
I don't feel right
feels like a game that I play to lose
to wonder whether you've been wandering too
mourning
up til morning
do I mourn for you
do I mourn for me too
"so pack your things its time to go!"
the drive is long and the sun is low
I'll see you at the game tonight
you know I'm always on time
its hard to find all the things I keep
and things I leave behind
and what is mine will wave and still along the sidelines

disillusioned
running up The Mountain
think you knew it
five years of "I told you so"
that I would always run to you
I would always run
go ahead and
make yourself the martyr
flagellating
louder so we all can hear
I turn the other cheek for you
turn the other cheek
all the things you thought you knew
its a shame I couldn't say it
all the things we thought were true
its a shame
submission is the place you kneel before the hand that feeds you
drunk and at your door again
submitting to the need to
run down from the mountain
running towards the morning
run to learn the motion
just to walk away from you
all the things you thought you knew
its a shame I couldn't say it
all the things we thought were true
its a shame

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves.
