Station

In the station to your parents house
I know everything about you now
The muffled and apparent loss
Is the cause of this and more from now
One day we will stand apart
and on and on and on...
In the station, to your parents house
I know everything about you now
Well we crawled against the half-light
Where we caught the early train
And in the grinning gaze of the city
We stood again
And it left nothing but ashes
But the smoke was seen by all
And in the hidden depths of a city
The first tears fell
Forgo all of this, you broke your vow
I know everything about you now
I know everything about you now

Wings for Marigold

You walk till you fall asleep
And they go on and on
They ask for
beg for
not the animal thing
the birds that you bring
You walk till you fall asleep
You’re not the only one
We found you
In the city sewer
with a bottle and
your bottleblue friend
You walk till you fall asleep
And they go on and on
(these wings for Marigold)

Builders

We are the builders of this world
We have nothing but materials
Thought by thought our city rise to meet
Greatest outlines of the Romans and the Greeks
...our city rise to meet
Greatest outlines of the Romans and the Greeks
Sang out loud: “boots and clay”
From scaffolding we paint and cry:
“the greatest colors dug from the mind”
We are the builders of this world

A Friend, a Frame
04:32

Calendar days are here
Counting the end has been a nervous chore
Breaking those last few minute stares
Your gun is right by your side and you call her unbelievable fate
My wings are full and effects will unlace this silly order I can’t take
Last minute reveries
Convince even skeptical crowds
We’ve lost at least
a friend, a frame,
an unbelievable sustain
The balance is lost and now we find dismay
Your gun is right by your side and you call her unbelievable fate
My wings are full and effects will unlace this silly order I can’t take
You’ve stood, a fountain of mirth, a man of unbelievable faith
We’ve learned to savor the time, to bask in the warm shallows of your wake
oh God
A friend, a frame
An unbelievable sustain

Creature Down

While I stand watch, I take watch
It’s your small bed of ashes
Compliance has followed from sorrow
Mechanical & null
Heavy lifting, please,
This could never be
While I stand watch, idle by,
count the freckles on your cheek
Why the sheer weight of a mattress & a boxspring?
Now we are void of the charge that set us flying out
You lay your head back down, these mentally matching ills
You lay your head back down
You gave up nothing but your crown, for these mentally matching ills
You lay your head back down
