Touching 05:05
There's a cast of ice in my blood When I meet the man There's a little tether to the child in his throat If I look in his eyes I see so much rage, so much pain But I can't seem to empathize While the current runs the same in my veins When he feels the deepest grief For the years passed staring at the gate He drives out to Bakersfield, sits in anonymous cafes Now I'm looking out for little towns In every eye who wants to take away this name Disappear at Dana Point So much rage, so much pain Touching, falling, leaving Breaks from understanding Love so loud it turns to doubt and poison Touching, falling, leaving There's a little click Sometimes, in the morning Like a running balm to the lack, like spring, like horses And it feels so good I could cry And the grip gets so tight that I lose it Back down in Oceanside Wishing I could sit alone enough to stand it Touching, falling, leaving Breaks from understanding Love so loud it turns to doubt and poison Touching, falling, leaving You're holding down the line For the day when those three letters don't burn and writhe And they come sometimes She can be done, done her time He can be done to save his life But I got those hazel eyes, like cedar panels Painted across my mind Touching, falling, leaving Breaks from understanding Love so loud it turns to doubt and poison Touching, falling, leaving

Here 04:01
This ground Is covering his mouth Lay it on the hotbed like the last time See if it falls out This girl Is open in your mouth Blindside every voice except the firelight See if she runs out Like the last ditch step outside Gun the rain soaked thread in her eye Heavy ask, high breath, thin line Are you change? Are you here this time? This world Is falling out your mouth Look at all the doors wide open This one's in a black one comin' out This girl Is clay inside your head Shut off every pretty light Think about the weight of her instead Like the last ditch fire outside Gun the rain soaked thread in my eyes Heavy ask, high breath, thin line Are you change? Are you here this time? Feel the change, are you here this time? Are you change, am I here this time? Like the hold out sinking into night I'll be here in this window all night Heavy ask, high breath, thin line Take me out, slick the rain, put me down, feel the change Are you here this time? (are you here this time) Am I here this time? (are you here this time) Am I here this time?

Ribbon 04:53
Knife in our side Turns into soft light Dull indirect shine Wrapped up And the marks on your hands They will fade and then come back again In a spiral of gasoline Late night call to me Dreams about skylines Wheels dripping over double lines Smoke through the cold vents Can you hear it? And before you feel done Lark jumps in front and the dash lights up Shake as the woods blur Reach for me, thought I saw it first Please don’t lose your faith in me Aisles of circular time Same wide eye-line Behind you your whole life Ribbon I want you to know I’m coming Behind you but I’m running Ribbon Reaching out to shake the ash that’s in your heart and in your head You say you came from nowhere I’m sitting in the car Please don’t lose your faith in me Ribbon Run Ribbon Run Behind you but I’m running Every little scratch from ’99 Every slant of porch light Behind you your whole life

Ash 03:01
Picture you The color of breath as you stand alone At the edge of the park Am I running up, catching up behind you? Is it in me still? All you've given Could I find it now? What is ashen When you hold her Is there one bone, one hand, one gesture for me? Before you get lost Am I breathing hard, catching up, behind you? Is it in you still? What we learned at the same time Does it make you spin? What is ashen What is ashen Call out angel one more time Without looking in my eyes Show you just how I fly Ripped up and covered in dirt on your doorstep Look at that beautiful thing you made While you were away Is it in you still? What is ashen What is ashen

Anything 06:02
At the end of the night Feel you rush me Ghost of shaking hands Clutching my knees There is always an urgent cast off Of the space around your feet But I siphon off the little things All the skin against your street Lie Love me like a cannon might I don't really need to see your eyes Tell me that I'm alive At the end of the night Here down On my knees screaming Take away this needing There is a body autonomy, sinews are reaching through the mirror Dreams are spilling out clearer There is something more beautiful than wanting But nothing louder Belong Put me in somebody else's song Put me in somebody's arms Tell me who I want to be I'd do just about anything

Touch her hand As you dream next to me Here again, I'm a godsend Light up relief But I can take so much more Than I wanna believe So I'm gonna stay in this room While you sleep I have been the healer Heavy middle man Now I've got locks, they're pretty colors You can watch them scatter across my hands All the blood, it's coming out, in your sweat, she's in your eyes, I wanna cry, I wanna leave Something about the way you smile Is shutting my red light down All of the blood becomes water anyhow Through the crack in the door frame In the pause before you break If I gotta wait til she gets further away I will There's a night, out of time It's waiting for you on the back stairs I saw it once, like a flashbulb It comes back in the hot air Humid eyes, dark vision like fire, live forever if you walk by You wouldn't see it Wouldn't feel it Like me Something about the way the light Dies in your eyes at night All of the blood flows like water Through the crack in this open heart In the pause as you pull it apart If I gotta wait til she gets further away I will
