gifts
there's something i brought you
placed in your palm
it floats in your fingers
sings you a psalm
it climbs through your curls
it sleeps in your ear
it snores in your skies
gift from the old myrrh tree
burns for the absentee
it's tempting to chain
it keep it locked up
never let air
make it corrupt
you know that it's dying
to take off in flight
and cast others in its light
gift from the old myrrh tree
burns for the absentee
drift and disperse
like smoke in the surf...
you know you will miss it
but you want it to leave
your happy its going
'cause its too hard to hold
and you know you'll want it
to return sometime soon
on some lonely ass afternoon
gift from the old myrrh tree
burns for the absentee

grasshopper
this dog is gonna bark all night
fornicate in the pale moonlight
and i've been soakin the bread i find
mouth dry in the canyon
and i wanna be with you
but i"m hung over and blue
pour the light from my flask
it burns but don"t it cast...
i was never taught to charm the sea
fold the maps and brave the beams
a grasshopper who never learned to harvest things
so harbor me in your treasury
oh, then i followed you down
i"m a bunk baptist and i followed you down
bet your money on my fantasy
and i'll hold my hand to show
you got my heart, you got this china lace
and i only wanted to save your face
those drivin boys they all took me
to high times and revelry
ah, and then you followed me down
how'd a queer duck ever get so down
such a marked saint to be
anoesis destiny
anoesis destiny
anoesis destiny - Track Name: common crow
-
common crow
a guttural belch
conjuring common crow
it's awkward flutter flown
a pageant i have sewn
i offer a pupa prayer
the poison made me strong
but it aint gonna last too long
and we sowed our salty ways
nectar for the bees
spoils in the trees
and i want you to be free with me
in our untidy vulnerability
summon grace and cavalry
courage in kisses and cuffs
you gave me the broderick
an anvil for a tongue
a scourge you had swung
and i feigned and played dead
yeah, i feigned and played dead
the bullshit i can purge
and blossomed we'll emerge
the vertigo of our messes
the commingling c-caresses
underdog under your dresses
courage in kisses and cuffs
and i want you to be free with me
in our untidy vulnerability
summon grace and the cavalry
courage in kisses and cuffs - Track Name: storm of feathers
-
storm of feathers
snow dissolving
on you palm
the haunting sustain
a stones sorrow
a storm of feathers
a specter passin through
specter's passin through the mountain
bees revolving
in a bottle of wine
ravens wheel into
the fissured sky
(i dream of drowning
in a bottle of time
haunted sustain
a stone's sorrow)
a floating bottle
a hive made of time
a stone dissolving
in an ocean of wine
snow dissolving
on your palm
the floating sustain
a stone's sorrow
and we can just
disappear
on horses farting
into the clear space
where noone
or nothing can find
where we hide
until we desire
to reappear
a storm of feathers
rose from the pillow
the knife that you drew
stuck in the side
(i dream of dissolving
in a bottle of wine)
stars are stones
lifted above
tacked to the sky
to remember us by
lifted above
released from the ground
an effervescent sea
a storm of feathers
stones are swallows
tacked to the sky
swallows are stars
to remember us by
snow dissolving
on your palm
the haunted sustain
a stone's sorrow - Track Name: fire next time
-
fire next time
the wide wide ocean i have seen
completely covered in gasoline
never saw the rainbow so slick and sheen
never saw the rainbow so vile and obscene
oh la da day
my faucet drains into the sea
but i wont let that bother me
oh la da da day
ocean claimed cities and spat back whales
seaweed and wrack for garbage pails
all prisoners were freed from their jails
only to drown beneath the sails
of capsized boats and navy coats
octopi surfaced only to float
like a discarded rug in a nobleman's moat
the ocean spat spires into the sky
like a horn into a matadors eye
tore it open and down did fly
tongues of flame that began to fry
plains and the mountains turned them to dust
stripped paint from cars let them rust
leaving nothing but a black charred crusted
fire does what it does it does what it must
after the fire burned the oil off of the sea
and it flowed back over the barren country
ha ha hee hee from dust was it made
and dust it shall be
from dust was it made and dust it shall be
from the cape of good hope to tripoi
from dust was it made and dust it shall be
more cause and effect than philosophy
oh la da day
my faucet drains into the sea
but iwont let that bother me
oh la da da day - Track Name: the hottest days of summer
-
the hottest days of summer
in the hottest days of summer
i was a drunken fool
i drank and got much number
til my soul felt less cruel
i was invisible
unseen by men and only ghosts
i hack the moon to pieces
i spit in a ravens eye
i pigtied chupacabra
and skinned him half alive
javelina were my companions
in the wicked desert field
i chewed stones for my pleasure
no caution did i yield
i danced with the serpents daughter
and her scales of disease
her callous tongue entwined me
and brought me to my knees
i slit the sky wide open
doused the sun with blood
i fell into a slumber
drowned in a pool of mud
i tilled up the graveyard
leveled the mausoleum
i milled all the dry bones
and sifted them with salt
i hacked the moon to pieces
i spit in a ravens eye
i pigtied chupacabra
chewed stones
in the hottest days of summer
i was a drunken fool
i drank and got much number
til my soul felt less cruel
i was invisible
unseen by men and only ghosts - Track Name: bedful of bulbs
-
bedful of bulbs
bedful of heads
bedful of bulbs
slow moaning low
solo cavalcade
the emt in a white motion pass
bed bedful of bulbs
bedful of heads
slumberin
no glow
this is how we start the day
this is how we find our way
all tucked in a row
slumberin with a crouchin crane
smokin a cigarette
he's leanin himself
up high above
liftin himself up high above the avenue
this is how we start the day
this is how we find our way
daffodils loosin their crown
always starin always lookin down
takin in somethin we can't see
are they reportin?
are they recordin you and me
permanantly staring down
this is how we start the day
this is how we find our way - Track Name: heliopause
-
heliopause
yes we're still alive
close encounter with lightning
no kind of struggle
just to give up the fight
and give into flight
you know its the truth
that brings these lines to my face
someone send up a flare 'cause
this poor boy's lost out in space
(away...)
someone give me a compass
something by which i can steer
the stars i used to guide by them
but they're no use for me here
(no use here...)
when you're looking for testement
i'll be the first one to sing
'cause everywhere i ve gone
in this direction i'm cast
there's no reward,
there is no bell to ring out here. - Track Name: trees (eeg)

trees (eeg)
drive by the woods
sun cuts through the trees
over me my eyes can see
a bit of the light a bit of the trees
inside the movements the ghosts i can see
ground in flames a
and sky of ice
drive by the woods
sun cuts through the trees
over me my eyes can see
a bit of the light a bit of the trees
inside the movements the ghosts i can see
ground in flames a
and sky of ice
drive by the woods
sun cuts through the trees
over me my eyes can see
it grew from a spec
then filled the room
death came so close after the bloom
trees divided by the light i see
trees divided by the light in me
the light i see
the light in me
the light i see
the light in me
