Earthquake
04:14
|
|||
The sun leaks on your face
Like it’s the only place it could ever live
It’s no surprise, it’s no surprise, it’s no surprise, mmm mmm
It’s been a long time comin’ mama
For you to give my legs a shake
Now I find you, in the corners of my room
Can you stay? Oh, honey
I’ll keep a mug warm for you
So you’ll stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay

Hair Sticks
03:12
|

Found your hair
Mixed in with mine
You’re a dog in the window
I’m a loose piece of twine
Now we’re lapping up water
Like it’s the last time
Time, time, time, time, time, time
I gave you some blood
You gave me some spit
We’ll never know
When to quit
We’re taking the long way and I know why
Cos’ we don’t need to know
Know where we’re going
Hair Sticks
Hair Sticks
Hair Sticks
Hair Sticks

Serpent
05:12
|
|||
A pen and paper, can lie to you
I’ve been writing this note too long
I’ve been singing this song too long
A snake can only eat so much
Before it’s belly’s full
Well I’m dragging mine across the ground
What you’ll find when you look across the garden
Is that they’re all dried out
But your mama has told you baby
Is that they’ll be coming back around
Bite’s real deep, but it’s okay
It’s too far down
Blood thick like marmalade
There’s no use now
Your mama has told you baby
It’s all done now

Blue Spring
04:02
|
|||
Cheeks wet again
In the watery wind
I can’t pretend I’m not
A dog tied to a porch
If spring is green
Then I am blue
If spring is green
Then I am
Blue
Blue
Blue
A flower in bloom
With hope in the soil
Your petals melt their way
Into my skin
If spring is green
Then I am blue
If spring is green
Then I am
Blue
Blue
Blue
Please don’t forget me, please don’t forget me
I’m good I’m here, I’m good I’m here
Please don’t forget me, please don’t forget me
I’m good I’m here, I’m good I’m here
I’m good I’m here, I’m good I’m here
I’m good I’m here, I’m good I’m here

Forgot My Horse's Name
02:37
|
|||
Took me to the creek
So you could have a drink
Oh your name’s
A current rising
Ran me into trees
No mud on your feet
I’m a red
Poison berry
Rode you for sometime
Combed your mane
And swatted flies
No matter what I do
I can’t remember your name
I can’t remember your name
I can’t remember your name
I can’t remember your name

Joy
04:12
|
|||
Joy goes far to find herself a home
We kick up dirt and peel back our skin
Fly fast, kiss fast, fight fast, gone gone
Fly fast, kiss fast, fight fast, gone gone
Fold me into something I won’t know
Give me one good reason to forget
This foxhole’s just a scab I keep to pick
Joy makes sure to soak up all my sweat
Make a cake forget to eat it
Too late
The wind’s already
Brushed your hair
I’m full of desire, don’t know if it’s mine
Baby’s tired
Joy give her kiss goodbye

Man I’m leaving
Today
Woman, Joy
I’m here, to stay
I’m gonna find you
Here and there
In the trees and the air
In the lines in my hands
In my grandma’s laugh
In a metronome
When I’m finally alone
And I pick at my skin
To see what’s there
Man I’m leaving
Today
Woman, Joy
I’m here, to stay
I’m gonna lose you
Up and down
Like a worm in the ground
Like the hairs on your head
When you’ve just combed it
Like a new friend’s laugh
That I’ve copied again
In a senseless dream
Man I’m leaving
Today
Woman, Joy
I’m here

No Wings
03:21
|
|||
Bird with no wings
Songs I can’t sing
Your touch
Is alive
Like a ring
Too tight
A stain
Too deep
At the core, at the core, at the core
Is this a game
That children play
Well let’s put
It away
I would lose
The pieces
A love
Not mine
Same blood, same blood, same blood

Grass dance
Insects hum
Earth breathes
Gets stuck
Trees weep
With tangled limbs
Give it all to the wind
My heart’s an open field
My heart’s an open field
My heart’s a field
My heart, my heart
