Heard that before
Just the other day.
C’mon and tell me more.
It’ll be ok.
And now I can’t not be but here without it
And bottle up the truth about it.
No way
It’ll be ok.
She says I’m a’beggin’ for
Always; I have met the floor
It’s pourin’. I am at the door,
Ok?
No way
It’ll be ok.
Hooray.
It’ll be ok.
Ok?
Ok, ok, ok, ya.

Trite little pieces of knowledge
Are out of control.
Minds turning up nothingness,
That I know.
Prosaic words are a gold mine
To deconstruct at your will.
Spiral out and babble on like this.
Get your fill.

In the bottom of this bottle,
I'll find no relief
My mind's at ease for moments
And moments tend to fleet
The achin' in my bones is still
Makin me weak
The wine goes down like water,
and the radio's on repeat
And time,
moves on
And I'm.
still here
Dreamin of the warmth,
of a woman, so true
I'm all bent up from drinkin and
I'm all hung up on you.
I'm all, hung up,
On you
(whistles)
A man is proud and prideful,
he's wild and careless too.
He'll roam the earth forever,
but love will make him true.
You push, you'll pull, you'll fight him
and he'll, stick to you like glue
I don't have a live here,
so that's all I'll say to you.
And time,
moves on
And I'm.
still here
Dreamin of the warmth,
of a woman, so true
I'm all bent up from drinkin and
I'm all hung up on you.
I'm all, hung up,
On you
I'm all, hung up,
On you

Tell Your Sister

I would love you, but that’s alright.
I’ll just stay ‘til the end of the night.
I would want to, but I don’t care…
Maybe if not you were here.
“I don’t want you to go,”
She says, but she doesn’t know
All the ways I piece together the pieces of my woe.
You can tell your sister, it’s OK.
She’ll find out by the end of the day.
Make me promise that I’m all there,
But in my mind I’m still not here.

Here you are
Token jet-setting star
I don’t buy it
You’re new mindset
Same old no one
Held on too long
“Hello, darling”
You start flying
For to spin around

He’p me leaven the loaf he’p me le’v’ in duh bo’
And I been likin’ the potion that I find on my own
Each time I mind myself…whole
I be leavin’ the ghost to find I’m bein’ the ghos’
I get I gotch eh I get I gotch I get I got
I call de doc I gat it a lot
We can live in the fores’ and plant it down by the coas’
And I swear—my god—I might if were I a ghos’
Picture me and floozies, picture me in grey
Roll around and around and around and uh
fixture bein’ fey
Is I, I am, I’m beggin’ for you to go
He’p me leaven the loaf he’p me le’v’ in duh bo’
Cut the pleas, sympathies, and all you got when you choke
Indeed I find myself…broke
In accordance with the voices I do hereby proclaim
The matter at hand, for me and you, is avoiding pain
What I share (with doctors by my side)
I be making chapters for their lit’rature in kind
Fill me up modicum of dropsicalic dose
We can live in the fores’ and plant it down by the coas’
I be leavin’ the ghost to find I’m bein’ the ghos’

You are a violet.
You are inviolate.
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all.
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all.
You are unformed, undid.
You are a reversion.
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all.
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all.
You are unfocusin’.
You are a’collapsin’.
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all
And no, I don’t wanna say that I couldn’t’ve loved at all
And I don’t wanna say it. I won’t ever say it.
I don’t wanna say it…

Wild Falls
02:57

As we get older, we pay for our sins:
All the times we would lie.
And too we find we are better than this.
Youth – and darling I’m not cross –
I’d rather say was yesterday
Than fill with shame for not dealing in bliss.
You can pace your mind
Against flowing time
There’s a truth
In the wild, wild falls
I will drown for you
For you to change
Up at the altar, I commandeer all
I can take. For goodness’ sake,
I start to shake; then I leave it alone.
Start to wonder, start to fear –
Or maybe not and life is rot,
A mortal thought – that you know what you’ve known.
You can pace your mind
Against flowing time
There’s a truth
In the wild, wild falls
I will drown for you
For you to change
There’s a truth
In the wild, wild falls
I will drown for you
For you to change

Believe me I’ve figured out
(When you start to live in doubt)
What you think you know
Is really nothing at all.
Godless people all know
The truth is what you can show.
But that doesn’t help me withal
Finding the divine soul.
Believe me I’ve figured out:
When you start to live in doubt,
What you think you know
Is really nothing at all.
I couldn’t help being whole.
The divinity of my soul…
