softer (demo)

how to watch the mountains from the inside of a moving car
sitting still in the movement of not knowing where you are
where you were and where you’re going
even if you could name it it wouldn’t be the same as knowing
the earth moves like water in the window of this airplane
and i guess i do to whenever i’m in love or when i’m afraid of
where i am, or where i’m going
it’s still a dance even if there’s no god’s plan unfolding
mary at the show with her hair hanging down in her face
moving through us standing still like bodiless brains
it was true she walked on water
it’s true she walked on something softer

window I (demo)
02:36
|

i hear the bells
another year in debt
can’t afford to feel
what i should instead
window in my room
can’t compare being out there
i couldn’t tell
if the window in my head
when it’s clear
might be a mirror
honey on your breath
word of mouth
and deepest rest
or deepest comfort
carried on a dream
on a river
whatever’s bigger
and i’d fight like hell
the ringing in my head
pull the window wide,
feel it all instead

reconstellated (demo)
03:30
|
|||
magnolia, wallflower plays a movie
folded palms, paper diamonds on a paper sea
wrote it down, told my friends
i know where i am, but I can’t tell where i start and where i end
yet everyday is filled with endings
thinking things i can’t erase
can’t be mended can’t be painted
trapped inside a framed landscape
and i’m so careful what i let in,
what i do to feel nothing…
don’t we move like water too? don’t we pick up in the night? what does the mountain think of you?
write it down, and tell your friends. I know where I am but i can’t tell where i start and where i end
venus crowned the valley
ringed with broken teeth
cactus blooms dry out to decorate her wreath
and we all do too, in the month of june’s heat
reconstellating the ground beneath our feet
reconstellate me and my own body

how it falls apart
02:40
|
|||
let me tell you how it falls apart
hesitation and the car won’t start
too much water and a little too dark
just a tv and a mailman
everything comes from god’s own hand
a little sweeter than i can stand
knew the story thirty years ago
conversation was a sinking stone
fraying edges of what we know

turning
02:36
|

no turning back now
no keys at the gate
and i can’t remember why i’m always late
go tell your mother
you miss her so bad
go be the father
that you never had
