1.
If the ocean is still and the waves all cease, I still will feel the current underneath. In the war we fought for boredom’s sake, the walls stretch out like scars on the face of God. When I hide, I hide. Underpainted door. Sweet, merciful heel. We’re not here to drink the wine you’ve been pouring in the street. You are the reason i don’t sleep well. I’ll pick you from my teeth.

Old Sides 04:08
Shoulder to shoulder, taken by fire. Creases on the beach slump down into the past. The past few days felt like weeks. Were you ok building shapes? Layer by layer he folded his fingers like roots uncontained by the soil on the casket. The pipe you smoke smelled like weed. I won’t call you out on it, Old Sides.

Longing 03:16
Come up, but don’t stay. You’ll make your sisters proud or you won’t. You’re out of my hands. I wait for nothing. I hide in blankets. When waves of indifference hit home.

Deadpan 05:00
This towncar I call my home now. I’m sung to sleep by the snow on the windshield. Wedding matches I kept for no reason, they all struck out in vain for walls to reflect on. But when I run I feel like an animal. Unashamed but only defined by that. I’m already knee deep and drunk in the bathtub, your cheap blush is stubbornly set in my lapel. If concrete imposes it’s will on the wineglass, then I guess my past is made. Deadpan. But when I run I feel like an animal. Unashamed but only defined by that. I don’t pray like a good husband should. Narrow path, help me to follow.

Housed 05:28
Your help comes far too late Half cut apples are half turned brown I won’t let you leave I hear Angus in the bathroom Spinning insects down the sink I wont let you leave Too tired to dry my shoes off I’ll resign to float downstream I won’t let you leave
