Dream Girl 03:15
I can feel it In this moment In the clear view That we share It's a time bomb A cultivation A pity of pit falls A pigment of skin Is this what you're feeling? I'm floating the ceiling for you I'll tell you what you want to hear And it'll be the truth I can feel it In this moment In the heartache That we share Is this what you're feeling? I'm floating the ceiling for you I'll tell you what you want to hear And it'll be the truth This may not be the best one But you are still my dream girl We'll make it through the next one Cause you are still my dream girl I dream about you all the time

14 Years 02:51
There is a tree outside my house It stains it's roots into the ground It took a hundred years to grow It took five minutes to cut down There is a joke that I've been told About how we all die alone I did not think that it was funny Maybe I'll get it the second go And I will wait for my own life to unfold And I will dream every night that I am told Don't tell me what you think is real I don't wanna feel the things you feel And if I lived a thousand years I'd still want my one last meal There is a person who looks like you Makes me think of things I used to do And maybe there is love at first sight But we're already three tries through There is a day that's drawing near It comes maybe once a year Where all the questions are a little bit shorter And all the answers a little more clear And I will wait for my own life to unfold And I will dream every night that I am told You cannot be a good man and a good soul Don't tell me what you think is real I don't wanna feel the things you feel And if I lived a thousand years I'd still need some time to heal You taught me how to let go In the back of my pickup truck on our way to the Poconos I looked you in the eye And said "you're the only friend that I know" When I look at you It's like I lose all of my fears Our letters make words and our words make letters And I haven't gotten one in 14 years

My Father 02:13
My father told me that when you are old and bony And your hands are like your ashes and you're ready to end your story You'll look back on your life with your dusty dead-drip eyes And you'll wish more than you ever that you had a bit more time But you can't get what you want when your ankle bones are shot And your arms are twisted up and taking numbers So you'll wait for days to come, but those days will never come And eventually you'll just wait for an option He had a crooked grin, and his breath always smelled of gin But I've never known a father who was half the man as him Now I am too old to have children of my own I was just too selfish, now I just want a son to hold But you can't get what you want when your ankle bones are shot When your spine is twisted up and taking numbers So I throw my fists into the air and pray that someone up there cares While I'm screwing up my chances to reason with him So if you're listening would you give me life again?

I’ve still got my friends To take up nights and weekends But I am not some shallow fool I know that this is just pretend I’ve still got my love It fits me like a glove But it’s burnt and cold on china plates I didn’t hold it tight enough There’s nothing in me There’s nothing in me There’s ghosts in my ceiling There’s nothing in me I’ve still got my pride Shaky and contrived But maybe this is poetry And I am the letters left behind There’s nothing in me There’s nothing to see You're all that I need There’s nothing in me We’re all just shaking stones We’re all just shaking stones alone There’s nothing in me There’s nothing to see You’re all that I ever needed There’s nothing in me

California 04:01
Oh, it's so nice to meet you Here in California, where the toes meet the sand Oh, everyone is happy, just how it should be And I can see your face And meeting you, it is just the same I'd say I'm seeing all your faces, and I'm thinking of the places I play This is not what I thought it'd be And it feels like it's a summer But really it's winter I can see you I can see right through your face And I know there's nothing left here to say, but I try And there's nothing left to do here, but leave, and I'll go This is not what I thought you would be This is not what I thought we would be

In Circles 03:46
And it gets me Up in circles When I'm out here And I find out Every moment I can feel you It's a heartbreak And a head trip My resistance Was much stronger I'm receding And my feet hurt Every dear heart Every constant Every morning Is a cold front I could be fine Tuned to hear you From the ocean I'm a step-child In a glass world With a fever And a clean head For the quick tricks I keep running From my mirror Grey reflection I'm losing color And it gets me Up in circles Every action Has a reason And everything that I do I just wanna get closer to you And all the words that I say Just slip and fall away
