The Thickets 03:53
my eyes are half closed and i'm stumbling through the thickets that I shovel And i stumble through the lull on the wire, i'm tired, i'm biting and pushing hard I am slanted, and you are slanted god, let's not slant instead now, we'll lean on each other baby holds her stomach in fear it might hang mama's boy is alright We blank on carpools tonight, and it's worth mama's boy being alright I am finally a marauder for you even Echo starts to sing with them as i wrap my head around your love I rip the root and whip the slave And you clink your glass eye I'm alright But the clean up in the morning is too much for me So i am turning red, every time i leave

Do you mind that my mind disappears? I want to calm you, ease you Sell off every bit of your ache so that i can buy our mind back seduce my spine, it's all so stiff I swing from you Busy face, you look so tired Your eyes got lighter as i kept you up I've never pushed through so hard to climb on bones We tighten tighten in celebration crashing glass with bola feet clenching 'til the animals are over me are over me You better not leave me in the swimming hole where you used to go cause I missed your call with my ringing ears we've been covered by fur we're ashamed of it born with a virgin falling asleep in the east And the fish crawling in me from the west You quiver because i've kept my hands to myself and the sun holds you more than i do then we collapse in to bonfires She whimpers when I hold the back of her neck And wobbles like a ladder when i release it Now you're through the waters and the ceiling is crumbling You are picked up when your bread is stale I just need a light that is all dressed up Busy face, you look so tired Your eyes are swollen in the straightest line Your posture bends in still air and you throw your throat down in filth fits We tighten tighten in celebration Chimney smoke and everything shakes tempting the sky with the sweetest sweetest blow

I took off my hand and threw it in the fan I sold my plot of land with a widow in the drawer I am trying to beat my eyes to sleep Come as my loaf of bread Come lie to me I stood to hold these men's hands with bleeding palms At the lawn at dawn Come lawn at dawn Slipping into places that no one dares call places I'll stop dancing when the lady in red puts her nerves into a slingshot at seagulls I couldn't help but fall asleep The crow clears its throat, i clear mine, we speak it's almost impossible not to steal away someone

In An Alley 04:17
lateral sounds when i chip your tooth lateraled alone and when i cross through you become annealed when i melt you down lateral sounds when i rearrange our mouths annoy the yawn you are a leaner tearing early i've been in an alley lately the alto is alert this year she relays on yarn and tolls the layer it's real and lonely now i talk to your back hours and hours and hours the lady pulls down her sleeve afraid her sunspots grew, she's bending wood for me i'm a cicada for you, babe i saw you bend your toe into the pavement without a flinch and the lamp breaks
5.
she is peeking with that smile, then averts to laugh i then climbed everest and made sure my eyes could rise and fall I used to hide you under my covers naked and you used to hide me under your bed clothed i watched your blink stick, "don't ever leave me when it's raining that hard" i never seemed to get far enough by the end of the day The dog barked, another dog barked, they started barking together The speed of you, woman, having sense in the car keeping up with the light, i feel so go that i made the sun shrink she lies about being a glazer could you still make love with your husband? green, sliced, and glazed I always see you adjusting your curtains green they're always there panting i walk backwards and forwards to change my eye color green don't mind my hands two of you could fit in my arms shake, a lie is a glazer it's my defeat let's talk, no, can i buy you dinner no, just come Green, sliced and slimmer Your pocket is swollen You can't stand up anymore i felt you singing without opening your mouth you stole my wing because you swore that the sky had a shoreline I'm not believing in dying Anna Are you afraid of a man who sleeps inside of a child's breath? i stand up and spin, and show you both of my sides I panted home blindfolded
6.
I cannot understand how you walk through my hand when you call You're like when the smoke hits the ground I'm no man when i hear a woman's laughter we just twist around on beds 'til we're okay i twist all around you and you liked it but you kept staring at my pocket and you tried to quilt me and we thought we were a pile so we ran we ran we ran to find the bottom i'm a dark dart thrown You've been carrying milk I don't want to hurdle you
7.
Everything moves faster in February The moon is hunching over No more ripples, no more towers that might or might not fall I fit through the door frame I never let you sleep in the spare room I don't want the piss on my hands I don't want to see the changing color of your eyes I handed you the stoker and brushed my hands across the chimes

I can't hear this saw right now it's a tease and all the little girls flock like red faces I've turned for the larger ride You stand in my back road path My venus I get out and it's the room my tongue tossed and turned in i used to curl in order to grow up i used to bend my stomach now i'm just holding the sweetest now i'm just holding their oldest And the curb said i came with a man but i left with the bride sometimes your teeth burn and i hate you and you are naked in the fall but when you are in my car and i hold my hand on that saw god i can't hear it all but it sounds like a man who can speak well And he's making you flutter and sink and fill The slice from my back's in your hand I kept an apple and crown your head in your hand standing on the back of your young we begin to tolerate tunnels my father's laugh beside us a church raised near the swimming hole a church raised near the roof where we bent and i found that bit of light you left for me and i loved you hard "sometimes i forget how to stretch. I'm over-revolving. I'm spinning too much. I fell through my sheets insecurely. I have been watching my deep breaths rock my heart. She's asleep. I don't want to dampen. I never woke up today. I caught cold from the swimming hole. I must have been bit by some fish cause i have red marks on my chest and cheeks. But there is something to come home to and I have a horse to ride on now. I remember walking home alone vaguely now but it seems so far away. I think of my thoughts and they all choke me up. But the swimming hole is a month away when usually i can get there within a matter of seconds. I used to think I could have two swimming holes but my gorgeous horse informed that that isn't so. " You drain this fountain deep So dark are the temples of a woman who i care for as she cups my wormwood You stand in my spineless wrath my venus blackbody burns and i look bluer than the almighty The healing of an arrow wound is slow I used to rip them like listening now i'm just hurting the sweetest now i'm just hurting their oldest And i'm trying not to die here again oh but i'm falling in love and sometimes my teeth unstitch like a rose picked My pants are vernal in shade when you bend to graze And i hold my hand on that saw Oh i can feel it dissolve And i tasted your honey, it dripped to my feet It's making me flutter as i drink and you scream And your tears made a punch in the sand I'm not animal tonight I'm a human that tends standing on the back of your young we begin to tolerate tunnels my father's laugh beside us a church raised near the swimming hole a church raised near the roof where we bent and i found that bit of light you left for me and i loved you hard
