Straight-back Days
02:51
|
|
||
I'm doing okay
feeding myself twice a day and
I'm doing alright
brushing my teeth every night and
Calling out the broken bottles
cleaning up someone's old mess
Hereditary cycles got me
working on those straight-back days
I'm feeling a 10
waking up at 6 am
I'm feeling breezy
prepping meals on Sunday evenings

"Eres tan especial"
De que me servira
si en los barrios no hay
un calle arbolado
un parque explotado
un pueblo que suda el calor
Un matinee, un canto de cada rey
y cada reina que reina sobre su huerto
comunidad, las ramas encorvadas
por el peso de frutas que dan para regalar
Tuve que aprender después de viejo a soñar
y ahora solo sueño atreverme a realizar
No habra perdón
si no logro
justificar
mi nacimiento

Claim The Sun
01:56
|
|

I can't claim the sun
if won't bask in it
won't dance in it
won't bear my eyes
I can't make that claim
I can't claim the sun
if I can't straighten up
arms to side
not crossed and hide
with an old disguise
I'd let you sink in those fang and teeth
but you're so set on a dive-and-sink
to a cold room lit by a tv
I'd let you sink in those fang and teeth
but you're so heavy we'd only sink
to a cold room lit by a tv

Cloud Watcher

Let's get out, let's watch clouds
watch the colors shift in
scrape your fins, cut your teeth
leave white streaks on the wind
watch daylight melt away
Oh these weekends
oh they get away
I should be able to make the most of days
Still finding old bones
but I'm digging new holes
I know
all I have to do is turn a key
shift into D4
Coastal roads
old cars
rust wrought iron ribs
tidal locked
dirty south
sweat it out
Lone, all alone
driving slow
and I do this to myself
for the best
need some space
need a break

Checking myself to be sure I'm savoring
just the ripe not the rot, not curl into a knot
singing on my morning drive.
Checking myself to be sure I see you as you are.
As you are as you were, not just what i'd prefer
and not a bullseye or an ostrich place
You said you'd be an idea to me
let the months show what the case might be
I never had a problem with the solo gig
I've learned a lot and I'm ready to give
You said you'd be an idea to me
let the months come and stay
and whittle away,
and render it plain
checking myself be sure I keep a steady pace
on the trails on the track making up for the slack
busting ankles everyday
checking myself be sure this isn't just a swell
highway laps, taking naps, barely missing the curb
making sure it's worth the time for her
Golden eyes, I hold you with some kind of grace
since the moment I first saw your stupid face
Golden eyes, and even after these years
cheval différent sur le même carrousel
It's just like seeing her
for the first time

I'm happy with how
everything turned out
the pieces fell naturally
at their own time
I can't wait to see what comes next
and put all our pieces to test
I'm at peace
A hundred lives dangling from
a couple strings in your room
Did I waste most of my youth
trying in vain to grow up?
A dragging feel, it isn't real
I just haven't got my sleep
I'll take a nap
and pack my bags
and take you to your mothers house
I'm glad that you
you could, you could,
like Persephone dance
and the flowers oh they bloomed
where your light feet did bless

Days That Run Astray
02:34
|
|

Everyone has all these flags, packed into their little packs
dreaming of what distant lands they'll plant them in so everyone's
trying their best.
I promise that I won't mean or say a word discouraging because no matter what I think most everyone and everything is
trying their best.
I promise I won't be sarcastic, argue with impassioned
I'll listen with my heart and not just wait until my turn to speak I'm
trying my best.
To pay back all the calories and smiles that I have withheld
all the heys I could have said and privilege that I could have spent
all the kindness I've received from people not that close to me
compliments and kindest words deflected to not accrue debt
*charlie turns a knob on a Logic effect parameter and goes whoosh*
Days that run astray
do the skys and clouds that gradiate
teach me something
something that I can't see,
lessons hard to name?
Am I learning things in deepest sleep?
Am I growing
without even knowing?
Did, by sheer mistake,
I actually give my take?
Did I grow?
Did I know?

Bare Those Fangs
01:02

Knives out
gash it open
wouldn't you say
all the times we had were
worth the blood
all the days in the mud
come and bear those knives and open up your mouth
come on and say your piece
say what you really mean
come and bear those knives and open your goddamn mouth
come on and say your piece
say what you fucking mean

Epilogue

A life changing injury
a sharp point between your teeth
two old flames crossing paths in a parking lot
You saw her car sitting in the dark
you turned around and there she was
stumbling like the world's smallest coward
I was thinking of you
what you'd want me to do
so I turned around and
walked away
maybe over the hills
maybe across the bay
I'll hear the twinkling of a tiny bell
that softest yell
A life I just threw away
close enough now to just say 'hey'
Two old flames crossing off in a parking lot
You thought you saw a familiar shape
stopped in your tracks because there she was
wishing she had hid so much sooner.
And I said oh my god
just what we needed and
lol just who'd have thought it
I'll just turn around
and let you going living this your cool new life
what ever that is
Were there scripts or strings or gods at play?
The night I first saw you, I swear you were in some spotlight take
And when we met as if by some star-thread grace
the us grew so fast and it held so quick I can't retrace
what a joke what a prank what a cosmic jest
that I'd have to leave you bruised and abandoned just so I
could let go of the weights and have the space
I needed who you deserved in the first place
All of these dreams what do they mean if they mean something?
While I'm out here dreaming about you I wonder if you're out there
dreaming dreams about me
and wondering
if all your dreams have some deeper meaning what could they mean

De vuelta
a Aguadilla percataste que cambio
en algún hectómetro dejaste de ser especial
madrugado un sábado en un tapón le sirves bien al cuerpo de tu imperio.
Tu carro sangre
las calles venas
Con un ojo
pendiente al la temperatura del motor
tú sabes que no hay duda algun
la circunstancia ya no se encargara
de que tengas panas o familia
la libertad una panacea no fue
te toca decidir
buscas distraer
Cuantas millas
fueron celajes que nunca arquivó el
odómetro que pretendías algún día arreglar
la entropía ejemplada en tu hogar
un microcosmo de un fenómeno astral
no estas sin esperanza pero tienes que cambiar
despierta se acaba el tiempo para trabajar
