Dream Girl

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

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?

Nothing in Me
05:12
|

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

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
