Immediate Engagements

She's got an immediate engagement
On her mind, all the time
She can't get it out when it's in
Although the psychic disagrees
It's all she needs to begin
He's locked in a series of arrangements
And day by day, a slow decay
Fucks with the gears in his head
She says, "oh it's so apropos
Of all he knows to give in"
Headache pounding
And the sound is
Daisy chained and soon becomes one
What i've done wrong is not a question it's a matter of time
Stuck on a belligerent persuasion
Even in dreams, it's a scary scene
He's melting along with the house
The pageantry still lingers on
Though the cards been drawn from the race
Wings over
Purple skylines
She just calls it flying by night
To shed some light on a conviction that i held for some time

New King in Town
04:24

Don't just nibble baby
take a big bite
let the headlights go down
Open up
for a new appetite
Theres a new king in town
Smile for a little
But dont hold on to it
you go, you chase the chills
Go let in the sun
But dont Go blind from it
I wish I wasnt thrilled
by the accident
I know
you're leaving and you're on you're own
yeah its time, to take it to the doorstop
not your mind
love that you dont confess
discovery beats following
i remember perfectly
you came back too soon'
i was a phantom that year
North Beach for the Bridgeport moon
we're all still sorry Blaire
cry for a little lesser
it could have been you there
savage joke to thought
ill see the park tomorrow
at least ill see the stars
we'll both see what we want

Takes A While
03:58
|
|

You got a sofa and I gotta sleep
You gotta make it hard for me to believe those things I won't say
And you got a temper and I got a gun
You gotta make it hard for me to run so far away
And I want to believe you but I'm just too old at heart
And I wanted to be there but I'd just fall apart
Cause you got a paper and I gotta say
You gotta tell me how to look away from that shit that's inside
And you got the notion that I'd never stay
Sometimes it takes me years to fade away but I'll come back every time
And you want to believe me but you're just so young in style
And you wanted to leave me but with mistakes it takes a while

Country New Year

I can keep
all of my thoughts on
digital paper
with the click of a thumb
and I dont have
need for a lot more
sacred trauma
im on the run
thought I saw Juice
on the subway
like he now had
a voice of his own
our proud American guts
dont give up believing
til somethings gone wrong
no use for me
im no bad man
we lie
just because we can
Hey, time is going anyways!
time is running out of time.
I keep looking for the way
so I no longer have to try
Glen, I heard that
"You had left" I,
laughed out loud and said
"He's already gone"
Sometimes you,
cant deny the
feeling of changing for worse
is too strong
No use for me
Im a good man
I lie, just because
I can
You could take it back
And you could see what became of
a resolution
Its a moonshot baby
But i think its the right time,
You know how to change you
Right or wrong
Rituals just suit you
Write it down
You know how to change you now
Thought I heard that...

Wide Eyed, Etc.
03:05

Way back in your memory
A funny face that you cannot see
Lake George is an ugly place
As a kid
As a kid
You can look with your Midas Touch, now
Or hold a spot in a seldom heart's throe
Quick schemes always beat grand plans
As a kid
As a kid
As a kid
The moment's gone too soon
You sleep til half past noon
And when the fever starts to run
You feel you've already come undone
Out of body experiences
Chalk it up to coincidences
I could guess the score out soon
For myself, former self
We started fires in Indian Pond then
Collected all of the museum magnets and
Found ourselves on the outside
Looking at, looking in, looking out
For the sights and all the sounds
The music going on and down
And all around
Knocks you out
And steals the crown from your head
Way back in your memory
A funny face that you cannot see
Lake George is an ugly place
As a kid
As a kid
As a kid

The Opening Line
03:10
|
|
||
I'm so glad you're not in a hurry
My soul's sacked, I need someone to talk to
That's when you come
Clear as day and gentle as
The new moon
We swam to
Born and bred
To be a busy man
But each handshake
Has me closer to feeling dead
It's not useless
To go against the wishes
That our parents had planned
I know what you'd say
I can't relax for a moment each day
That I struggle to find the opening line
So slow down
There's no need to worry
It's streamlined, hearsay or denial
That makes me think i have a story to tell
Or a lie I can spread
In a dream state
A seer came to me
And said sometimes
The signs are what they seem
It's not surprising
Those voices that you heard
Were the ones I had seen
At midnight
Deep red
Holding our breath til our moments at hand
Still I struggle to find
The opening line
Yea I struggle to find, the opening line

Star Maps (On Moraine)
04:58
|
|
||
Can I tell you about my story now?
We put our time in, think I should anyhow
Take you down my dirty road
I kissed your forehead and you
Kissed my soul
I went there once
And nearly paid the price
You'll never ask me for my advice again
Again
Like that one time lost in the Cheshire fair
That carney screwed us out of your teddy bear
She said she had an honest soul
A model daughter with a heart of gold
You called her bluff without a trace of fear
But next we knew we were all running scared
Through
Star maps on Moraine
What I saw when I came
I'd give my skin, my lungs
And my hands
Retreating next down the mirror hall
We barely made it before last call
"I feel a million miles from home
and quite at ease in the great unknown"
Chewing fiercely on my upper lip
I chased that paper, was it worth the trip?
Star maps on Moraine
What I saw when I came
I'd give my skin, my lungs
And my hands
To lay my soul to rest
In the caverns of your chest
Star Maps on Moraine
I saw and I came

Good News, Gone Bad
02:26
|
|

You're the only one
who was a child
a brain, a loss and some time
keeper now, but zoom out
we are touch and go
out of touch
no doubt
lets not like who we are
lets make Gods from the very things
that we're not
and kill everyone
who doesnt take a shot
it is
Good News, Gone Bad
lets talk about it
you know you cant decide whats wrong
mistakes not change,
around and round and
lets not calm down
its the time of my life
its the time of yours too
there is not a secret left
or a thing to do
"its always something" you said
not a blink of an eye,
or a concept of dread
i want to know the things
that go on in your head

Disagree
04:12
|
|
||
I was thinking that I've been cold-hearted
Don't you worry it's just something you started
Did you think to take another look at me?
It's not a problem it's just something I made up
It's really nothing that you should be afraid of
Did you think you had to beg to disagree?
So let's agree to disagree
About the lies you're telling me
When I see you I'm feeling greater
The only time you let me see you is later
Get the feeling that I'm running out of time
The sun is coming even though it's still raining
A warmer feeling that the love you've been feigning
Counting pennies cause my love ain't worth a dime
So let's agree to disagree
(We're talking about it now)
About the lies you're telling me
(You're worried about it now)
It's getting harder to believe
(We're figuring out it now)
So let's agree to disagree
I was thinking that I've been cold-hearted
Don't you worry it's just something you started
Did you think to take another look at me?
It's not a problem it's just something I made up
It's really nothing that you should be afraid of
Did you think you had to beg to disagree?

How Can I Fall?
02:08
|
|

The Rains in Chennai
have lessened for today
but we know,
beyond all doubt
that they have not
gone away
I'll hit record
but there is too much
left to say
more to say
Why do I do it?
Why do we choose to stay?
How Can I Fall,
If its not me?
I've seen it all
it was in that scene
How can I go
if I havent been?

Passing Time

Stalled out again on the red line
Must be the third time this week alone
I'd rather scrimp than have to save face now
Stood up to see out the window
A quickly approaching fog on the rise
Drawn to a theme, son of a seasick scream
That I want you to hear
Not much to see at the air show
The Rainy Day Fund's come in handy again
We've poured through the lines we've taken from our minds
And stood close enough to remember
A time when the future seemed like a myth
Caught in a scene, part of a teenage dream
That I want you to hear
And I want you to call upon me anywhere
I don't want to see you all alone
With your heart turned out like a stone
Just sing it out now, let it show
You were always bound to go
But I ain't saying it wouldn't be fair
If it came to that

Felt Good to Drown
03:40
|
|
||
This one goes
to all the years I missed the most
at a loss for what we did
and how we're here
I made a toast
on the bridge that we all know
when did we start to decide
to get severe?
we didnt notice that the lights had changed
in fact it all had turned around
we didnt realize the moment was fleeting
because it just felt good to drown

Anemone
04:11

|

you wrote a song
and you liked it
thought that you
could be hot shit
all the way
to Portsmouth
local, trumping grace
constructed worlds
as bubbles
thought indecision
was subtle
in a town with
no trouble
fighting for a place
so long, goodbye
bad dreams of
a broken sky
an immanent eye
for us
regaining time
levelling the landscape high
beginning is nigh
for us
sell it to be
anemone
think about tomorrow though
how would you eat,
if not for me
soaking up your sorrow hard?
so long, goodbye
bad dreams of
a broken sky
an immanent eye for us
regaining time
levelling the landscape high
beginning is nigh
evolving a time
erecting a place
for love
sell it to be
anemone
think about tomorrow though
how would you eat,
if not for me
soaking up your sorrow hard?
crab apple falls
translucent calls for me
never stop complaining
don't you go sane
on me
