Polaris

Memory is fading
And the stars, they are unplugged
In this world I want no part of
End of the dawn
Death heads grin
Photo negative
Jarred wings flapping
Crack open my ribcage
Let out the flight held inside
Dissolve this
Burnt chrysalis
Total ego breakdown
I never asked for this

To Reach You

Great outdoors passing rumors
What’s my future
Where’s my humor now
Great outdoors passing rumors
What’s my future
Where’s my humor now
I take in the view
Even though I’ll see it soon
Cabernet branches
Succumb to steel blue
Great outdoors passing rumors
What’s my future
Where’s my humor now
Great outdoors passing rumors
What’s my maneuver
Until my love’s allowed
A powder line
Licks at my suit
It’s all I can power through to reach you
I always fall in puddles
Wearing my best shoes
It’s all I can power through to reach you
This time my heart will crack in the cold
I know it
My engine pierced by an icicle
The oil’s flowing
Combing through symptoms
I pull the pin
That’s when I hope some trust
Will find its way in

Clothesline

Just how sweet is hanging our vanity
Out to dry on a clothesline?
Just how sweet is having nowhere to go tonight?
There’s no one else to impress
Just the camera lens
You told me I was beautiful and I believed you
You told me I was beautiful and I believed you
The more you have me
I write the things I want to read
The more you have me
The more you pull me into nights like these

I want to be the one
Under your skin
I want to be the one
You let in
You let in
The one who's your person
who's your person
Who loves those parts
You hide away
I know your worth
I know your hurt
Because it’s mine
Because of time
Don’t run away alone
Let me fight for you
One
You let in
You let in
Who's your person
Who's your person
I want to make you feel like you’re not alone
I am here with you
To heal up all our scars
And learn to trust again
To be better
Than we were given
To be more than I am
I want to make you feel like you’re not alone
I am here with you

Behind the Frame
04:13
|
|||
|
I fell in love with a place
I should lightly tread
I rolled right through low-hanging bough instead
Steep this palette past the bitter ends
I drag my feet through the earth
Tethered to my own trail
But that trail grows
Replacing a hope from long ago
I found the masterpiece behind the frame
From a brush rinsed of all its paint
My old stories don’t define me
I know where to draw the lines
My old stories don’t define me
I know where to draw the lines
My old stories don’t define me
I know where to draw the lines
All these thoughts will play out in time
How long will it take for you to rise?
I scan the scene and separate
All the sounds and the sights
The canvas grows
Replacing a phrase from long ago

True Voice
05:58
|
|||
|
Scared of lightning as a kid
I counted each second till the thunder hit
I pulled the sheets up
As the whole house caved in
But I still woke up
Safe in bed
I heard gods bowl in the clouds
So I’d keep the score to myself aloud
I tied myself down
Against the house
I wanna laugh
But I can’t help myself
Press the leaf onto the page
Shelter in place
Adjust to the season’s change
But it still feels the same
To hear my true voice is my dream
Echo through deadened trees saying:
"When you’re feeling in control
Let the string run off the spool”

Narcissus

And then I saw for what it was
I knew that I was not making it up
You have two faces
You’re a snake
Seeking stooges to dominate
All because I would stand up to you
You would whisper to others about me
Took me so long to figure out
You drip poison into my bloodstream
So then I knew just what to do
I wouldn’t hide myself
Or bow down to you
I’d cut the head off of the snake
Stand up and expose you as a fake
I feel bad
I feel bad for you
You control people to control you
You are toxic
You are a cancer
I hope you end up alone with no answers

Landmark
05:21
|
|||
|
Realized I was talking back
To myself
To the fullest extent
I didn’t give my consent
For this landmark to rest on my skin
Sure seemed charming
Still to this day
Even when I bite my tongue at the thought now
We give, we receive gifts from the sea
Hopeless devotion means nothing to me
Alone on an isle
Estranged from my means
A past life gleaming up at me
I was exhausted from being insincere
Casting my line and reeling in fear
I still find it charming
Like shells tossed through the waves
We give, we receive gifts from the sea
Revising who we used to be
