You'll See Your Eyes Bag

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
