Way You Brush 03:00
lyrics
i don't ask off in the morning i don't get caught with my boredom when i slip in your mouth it's rosy and i used to flick it often business to spread it often oh but when you bend your back to me and say you're hot well then i pull you back and say baby, i need to pick you up in a hurry i'll try not to go early, don't worry but when we duck out, i just can't wait don't worry about it this time i feel a little runny i'm tired and i'm born to lie a little i don't want to pray but i get high for a minute if i die a little i'll be dying next to you a little like you wanted me to i saw it all go black i saw the bag lift but the bears smell it here, i'll be lucky to scrape it off i don't want pity this morning i just want Panic in the forst slurring i'll be dying out loud, god i'm loney and i use a bent down faucet that's telling me you better stop it but i can't push your back now i'm just okay now it's just the first to find the fire a, i'm sorry for the violence and fury and the talking and the lord i carry but when we duck out, i just can't wait

The Silence Above 04:00
lyrics
you're a tall boy you always have been and always will be i rubbed a little woman i took you wrong i took you for all you could be i took a little thumb wash your hands and feel thoughts rushing i caught my glove inside of the chipping and the shoes just sit in the corner dying on the couch, my little plaster saint time tricks the ferris wheel to make us tired reaching our longer than eyes stretching ocean views Keep on living where miners fear So dark that it’s home jumble keys inside of city lights to get so crowded and lone Get up baby and sing your songs, I’ve been singing them all day long You take a lover to call your own Make you stumble in chills tall boys on the failing banks gonna leave you just so Get up man I know you’re home, digging holes in your palms i saw my way bright tall boy, alright i'm kicking down the ladder that's not your ladder you know your love is lit up like the fire in a howl and now you're wet go and grab something soft softer than the lock softer than the silence above

White Face Has A Drip 05:00
lyrics
i'm leaving alone stone, i'm here to stay this is not a storm this is a dance you'll feel right up here on my little arms there's a baby and a savior and a fawn or just a bruise on your arm maybe i'll stay slumped in the start i love you my little arms, buried inside gardens you and me we do the craziest things like run low and rip scarves one by one i'm living through a scratch I can crawl in and out of i can make love even out of myself and i will throw when you touch my collar so come on now, don't touch my collar was taking light out worth it? you're still banking on this car lamp because the ones who know how to have it wild were never really white or caught in the line oh god, we are birthing just to be awake oh my arms are falling in to a clasp we like turning alone what's left of bailing it out? i saw you walking i love the same, even when i've had too much and in this light i've had a lot here, grace is like an island where i'd like to be dying it's not hard to be a man but it's hard to sleep and wake alone i took the keys off of the counter and counted them one by one i know it's hard inside, it's hard inside me too

You'll See Your Eyes Bag 06:00
lyrics
it is so nice that you are here and I let the oldest king pull you out i finally pulled you out this message makes me fall asleep inside the sweetest thing pull me out the accolade's not fine here all of this balladry is finally out numbered and then baby please just stand on my toes i'm not scared of the porch i'm not good at the ice it feels right to peel the colors off of a stomach and to let them back down a river all of the lucky ones pick up sticks tolerate fast the tape in the days please just let me hermit it is so nice that you are here and I let the oldest king pull you out i finally pulled you out i learned that from being alive you pity the penny with a filed down eye from being alive to being a minor man in a hocked ballerina's box the glass on your back and to tell the difference between just a seam or an opening to realize tonight is to realize i'm fine and to realize i'm fine is to deepen all of the lights take long long live her never long live her i grew up in a trough that i made for myself i was made easy early on, goddamn and i was goddamned when i traded light to be a man i got caught with a rise in my hand i realized it tonight that it shouldn't have taken much for me to stand or to affiliate the foot with a woman who can dance fight the other side i have seen how black a bind with him can be or maybe we could just talk a little and then go to bed i watch my lover in the morning stand when i know that i cannot stand i'm sorry for not being stronger

Back Down In Winder 07:00
lyrics
felt your way below i know you want to go i can't know you like a miner knows you we are all in to the daughter now i blame the lightness i have on you and i know i shouldn't just when i start praising, you start burning you keep catching me in my little in a spirit, i fear it and i fear you when the soldiers come out of my skull to report no we can't align or stand atop this road we can't align in a spirit, i fear it but i am almost out of my youth and out of their use just be mine tonight like the lake was just be mine tonight even if we can't align we sacked the car into a lamp remember when we could love each other? the firewood is going to love him i weighed you down with the coins from the closet i'm not perverse near the cluster oh but when i'm alone we can't align or stand atop this road just be mine tonight so i can say to you touch my back like you used to do i got shot by the tightest wind and i wasn't harmed because you were there you're fine to run accross the top of this building so that we can align to follow me would lie you down and to lie you down would make you dream you're what I wrote inside my leg there are creaks in the morning i've been still in my sleep and i'm tired of moaning don't be upset with me i feel my lean being slowed talking is fine for some stones i'll leave your lighthouse alone give the man your name

Like Watching Pipework 06:00
lyrics
take the longest way carry your squints in a sack and walk to the offering and when the wooden wall splits hopefully i'll see you and hopefully you'll be wearing another man's shirt or a cloud but the wall won't split if we are both leaning in the same spot i'll swing a chair around while i wait and the legs will go flying off in to the neighbor's yard and they'll stand up to monument how patient i am put the holly in a fostered tin bake the honey and just pile it in you're teaching me about violence you tell me to fight lightly to be what I invented Don't mock the spirits by opening the shades or guessing where you will end up leave the melon on the counter and that red bench on your porch i knocked over that stack of books when i left you like to listen to adults a great deal and i'll be calm as i watch you with another man why would i stare into a lamp that didn't glow yellow? i'll throw myself in to the naked man and i'll stand up to monument the sparseness in bloom

You Can't See Straight 05:00
lyrics
to the valley who can't see straight from the piss inside the wood's split i will be thinking of you seizing we drove to map out all of our problems the chicken is breathing on the carpet i always think about you leaving who ran the tire through my blood work? now i can't find out how these men work i'll sleep with you instead of me now now i can see why i could love you open the case with the yellow threads my head swells today to the valley where you keep my face this is after you leave me i keep yours in plastic bag tally up all the sons i met i like my baby to fly but the fight is a little bit better tonight the might is weakening don't double up my stare time is lying opening how did you get so good at loving all of these fascinations? open the door before you know how running and running like you just can't hold out to the valley where you keep my face get your own lilacs you gain from the ground tally up how many times you've called this love and tally up how many time you've called his bluff i like my baby to fly but the fight is a little bit better tonight

This Is A Dance 04:00
lyrics
pull the gun on the rhododendrons cause the lowest blow is a reflection that's why i'm just pushing my laugh around i'm just sitting here, early in the early morning learned a thumb could rip open tired hands and i have really tired hands i got to know you from the back of your limbs through the games of dawn men cannot replace the men who wrapped the tables and you like that as if you made a rug, i walked around the battles and the man hanging in the lamp's glow i found a new damp wall, and honey was the dirt flung out from my home men cannot lose trace when lending out a razor and you like that pull the gun on the rhododendrons flipping dominoes through your knuckles and cutting height notches in the warmth i'm just sitting here, early in the early morning and the only thing i can forgive is the back of my throat dropping bells to the floor your thoughts thought they could be someone else cause the lowest blow is a reflection that's why i'm just pushing my laugh around i'm just sitting here, early in the early morning save a man alone for me i cannot believe i'm out two knees i'll tear the can when i leave i locked the black stuff out you made me call you a lady but i'm a string while you're just dragged around who knew being alone could rip open tired hands and i have yet to even dance i've gotten really low but i am feeling alright

Love In The Halls 03:00
lyrics
there is no love like the love in the halls i like to whisper slowly to the mark i made and never leave leave you alone i don't want to wait and with that little bit of black in my blood i will watch you get dressed singing you the calls of service interrupting all your squirming and you look back at me because that's the back of me i've got a little bit of fire i've gotten bites all over my windshield i don't want to give you up just by moonlight slates get bent so that they can't move you know you can't clothe my lover she stays awake when light comes down on her i'm not saying i taught her to be sick i ran my hand through the basket no you can't clothe my woman she's too hard on herself and i can punch like thought wants me to punch a, i saw the end where you were water and a thumb and i was clay and god it hurt my heart so please tell end that i am not going to moon tonight i can't feel a wind blow open because you are my blue
