Memorandum
I had a dream last night that you and I were back in each others lives
Except it wasn’t nice this time
I’m hoping I can just forget, it’s been two years and it hasn’t happened yet
I can’t remember half the things you’ve said, but I can still see you in my head
Embarrassing is just the least of things I feel when worrying why time has passed and I still bring up things I never want to think about again
This morning’s sunrise never ends I want to go back to sleep again
and re-dream things that have not happened, re-contextualizing whens
I’m not so ashamed no more of my actions, thoughts, or core
work out the contradictions that keep my brain and muscles sore
Wintering
I wake up in the middle of the night
and I drift backwards in the light
I never thought what I would say
It takes a little longer now
and I can’t believe it’s always been the thing
I’ve most feared
I walk you out to your car
it doesn’t seem so far
not as far as it once would
as far as I wish it could
‘takes a little bit longer
when I’m headed back
to the front door
Baby you are welcome to it now and ever
Forever as long as I still got one
But that don’t mean it takes a long time for you to reach me
And I still think the best part of it all
is that you never even realized
what is was you’re looking for
I wake up in the middle of the night
and you were there except
this never happened it’s just a thought that feels good
I can’t imagine what it’s like
to never remember the worst parts, worst parts of your life
I wish that
I don’t wish that on you
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone
not after this
Goodness
Goodness, making such a bit fit
who even cares about it?
wouldn’t if it were me
Liar, it’s all you ever wanted
pretend you wouldn’t flaunt it
if you were up there
So what? Turns out its not just TV
that’s making up the big dreams
It’s kind of everything
Loves too trite to make a good point
I feel too optimistic
Bore me to death
Asking all of the wrong questions
no wonder no one’s out there
Hang up the phone
Loves too good
love’s too good
Turns out the big dreams
It’s out there
It’s big dreams
It’s out there
Goodness
(Cares about it)
Goodness
(Cares about it)
It’s all you ever wanted
If you were up
It’s all you ever wanted
Goodness
It’s kind of everything
Its kind of everything
Babykins
Babe, Babe you and me, who even cares, cares, cares,
It’s all you
Pretend you would
Pretend you would
It’s all you (wanted)
(who) makes a good question
Who makes a good question
Who cares if it were me
Make love not death
Make love not questions
Make love not flaunt it
Turns out its not just you asking (me)
No hang ups no
What it’s not just so
No hang ups no
(No hang ups no)
(flaunt it) (No hang ups no)
(No no hang ups no)
What it’s not just so?
(One one one one one)
If you ever call on me to turns up the TV
Goodness who cares if you were kind of optimistic to hang up the phone?
County Line
On the hills of old Virginia
I've crossed a weary mile
And on bended knee
I will sing to thee
As I tie my shoe
One moonlit night in the canyon
I talked about my dreams
Only bugs heard the call
They don't hear me at all
And now I talk in my sleep
When winter comes I'll be way up ahead
'Cause right now it seems so cold
I need her in my arms baby set my alarm
'Cause otherwise I'd sleep til sleeping was dead
And when I get home to my baby
She gonna wear my grandma's ring
And hand in hand we will tell a man
I do
I do
I definitely do
But I won't get drunk without her
And I won't do her no harm
'Cause she's the sweetest blackberry wine
From here to there
From here to there
From here to there

Me N The Rests
Catch me right if I’ve been wrong
I don’t wanna imagine what happens when I finish this song
Can’t read swim or write or make it back home
I need an extra piece of money
Can’t run amok
I need a runner better than the summer coming
Basking’s second to none
And I want it all but baby with the warrant out it’s maybe so I’ll call it
It’s snowing out
So I
can’t wait to get a fence
I
can’t wait to get offended
to make you less overt
Anyone else can be around
So it will be, so it will be
Leave it up to me
Won’t be a friend
Give me a call
Show me an end
Running around,
show it on the back porch
back porch
Go smoke it outside on the back porch
Won’t it make a pretty light?
I don’t wanna see what any thing on the end of nothing
won’t you
holding onto something
catch me when I’m dying won’t leave the house without it
won’t leave the house without it
and it means a lot
To me and the rests
To me and the rests
Me and the rests
me n the rests
me n the rests
Ardor
Trace, walk, and turn around
Breath, set lest you’re coming down
My eyes will meet with yours
As often we have done before
Edges bend inside
All I want’s to catch your light
Hold me to your delight
Fast strapped to you throughout the night
Screaming in consonance
Our bodies melt, the metal rends
I’ve lost myself inspire of sense
No tricks my mind is made
up of only quite things, fears do abate
Incense, our bodies lent
to actions made not to relent
Drink of the bottle, body’s spent
Car sex, I love you more,
Roll down the window, jar the door
Laugher and slights of hand
are instruments, but we are the band
trade fifths gently as we can
L.F.V.
You feel like a low frequency vibration
Like licking a 9v battery all over my body
and my bones never cry out for rest
You’re the candy on my lips,
you’re the midwinters kiss
and I hope to die of hypothermia
Savage necktie, O pray for release
but I don’t wanna make the mistake of you lettin go of me
So stitch me into your pocket of your favorite jeans
No I won’t make a ruckus you can just walk along with me
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
feel like a violin start playing
When someone really understands just what you’ve been saying
but you know that without a single word
You feel like the thrilling sensation
like spotting an animal from the side of the road
or deer from the window of your car
You’re the paint on my eyes,
you’re a clever disguise,
I know that I can’t see through to you
Yellow starship, reveal yourself to me
I won’t be caught dead without your hand in mine
You’re the smell of the night, my blackberry wine
No I can’t just stand for it, I think that I must die
I just can’t stand up when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
No I can’t just stand for it, I think that I must die
Oh I can’t stand up when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
No I can’t just stand for it, I think that I must die
Oh I just can’t stand up when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
No I can’t just stand for it, I think that I must die
Oh I just can’t stand up when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
No I can’t just stand for it, I think that I must die
Oh I just can’t stand up when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
There’s nothing that I’d be more content to do, more content to do than you
Re: Potted Plants
Re: Potted Plants
Can’t make a plan
Making a difference
Re-polish it
make it shine for you and me
I wouldn’t mind taking the train with you
take me out to the discounted lots
the supermarket blues
Make a recipe
do it for me
do it for you
Repo my car
take it from me
if that’s what you’ll do
Give righteously and never think
it’s for you
I’m givin it up, I’m giving it up
I never will think about you again
if that’s you want
then I’ll do it
It’s breaking my heart
before it’s been through it
I’d rather just skip right to the end
I know it’s better for the both of us
I know its true
Make what you will
I will not give my recompense
Saying La, la de da, la de da
I said I’m lost in myself
or with someone else
it really just make no sense
but I’ll still
take the train
and ride our bikes
If that’s what you want of me
Still it makes it hard
dry dock
Going down even slower than I wanted it to
Try to savor what you’ve got
or what you want
from me too
Repossess my home
I couldn’t care less
if that’s what you’d have of me
So it beats out
another rhythm
to the sick old sound of dying drums
Repot my plants
wherever you are
take offense
to my words
I couldn’t care less
If that’s what you want then that’s what I want
So I mean it earnestly
I’d like to see you again
Looking forward to every Thursday evening
Is that what it would take?
an honest review, from me to you
If that’s what you want then that’s what I’ll do
If it means the best, the best thing for us.
For us
Going Home
We
have travelled long
I’m going home
We
have travelled long
I’m going home
We
have travelled long
I’m going home
We
have travelled long
I’m going home
We
have travelled long
Ballad for Orion
I’m checking out what’s on TV to get the message
Reading up online to check the daily future artifacts
The kids I think I know but don’t are dropping hints on what to read
Responding with a signal flash, some super sonic indicators
Quite readily debating styles of life I’m both incapable of
Soliciting investments for my own product I should be buying
I don’t need subtle gestures to remind me if I should stay in
I’m forgetting and bargaining all before the party can begin
Trying to deliver my lines cool like Courtney Barnett
Cunning schizophreniac like mister Orion
I’m on the phone I’m dialing up ahead to get the buy in
Partaking of the fruit we hate to eat but love to talk about
You told me I should fuck myself over the phone but we had never met
Intelligence aversion and the curse of what we don’t define yet
A shaman in the past today is bottled up and thrown away
Madness bedding geniuses is well and good so long as it’s
Not too far from the mark
Control
I won’t be anything else but moving out of your way
Easier to pass by I guess, I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow hit the restaurant
Eat with all your friends
Drive home when the city’s dark and you can’t see out your mirrors
It’s a little like a cascade of chemical events
No different than an ad page inherited from your parents
Control, make it easy
Give me power and good sense
Control, waste my misery
with my miseries regret
Can I even afford nightlies? What would that even mean
Driving makes me nervous but I like to grip the wheel
Turn left to dial backward in time and see how it makes you feel
There’s a class action lawsuit
I don’t even know what that means
Is it some kind of retort, or just another way to be mean
Distracted by a toothache
I lie when you go near
I know I’m thinking too much about it
If I could only see it clear
Control, conquer quandaries
Ease my fear and do so promptly
Control what if it takes more than I should give
Have I always been pushing the limit? Compis mentis, my personal gimmick
As far as I can tell so far
It’s just a bit of a drag
You can’t do it if you’re standing up and you sure can’t leaning back
I tried to stop you at the gas station
To buy another pack
I guess I think it was the right thing to do but
I wish I hadn’t looking back
Plain white-black curtains hang on my bedroom wall
I keep them far away from the window so I can’t see ‘em at all
Control, cement, concrete,
Still the ground shake under my feet
Control, can you make me invincible to that
Caught under fire by the four fists of Yama
I turn my eyes up at the circle of karma
