Yes, but how empty do I need to be
Until the fog's dissipating and I'm burning clean?
Hidden sweetness
And secret medicine
Given just to those
Who've worn down their skin
.
Sprinkle rosewater over my head
Done running from silence
The boundary's my quest
.
You can't teach what you don't know
You can't reach if you won't slow down
Might as well slow it down
.
Sprinkle rosewater over my head
Shake till you settle
And lay down instead
.
I took my clothes off
And laid in the dirt
Rehearsed my last breath
Returned to the first place I remember

Insecurity Party
02:00
|

Tapestry of crooked teeth
The symphony is pitchy
One tug and it unravels
Almost back to the fields
Warm wool, tangled
.
Every no
A journey frozen
Every no
Every yes
An arrow flying
To the unknown
.

Hummingbird Heart

Your mama said
You haven't left the garden
But one more shovel full
And we're to the ocean.
It's mystery one layer down
How do we look at ourselves
If not through the eyes of another?
.
Empty out your pockets
Throw away the map
You'll be back here
You'll be back
Return before you know it
Right back to the start
It reappears with brand new meaning
We own the night. We own the night. We own the night.
.
I'm a monster
I'm a shimmering saint
Yeah, those knots hurt
We're gonna find our own way
I felt your little hummingbird heart
Handed to me in an airport parking lot
My skin was still a bit too tight
But now I'm ready to get lost
.
Empty out your pockets
Throw away the map
You'll be back here
You'll be back
Return before you know it
Right back to the start
It reappears with brand new meaning
Look at yourself, looking at yourself
Look at yourself, looking at yourself
Look at yourself, looking at yourself

Empty house
Here we are
Drop those shoulders
Let 'em sway
You can't take any home with you
Sneaking in to the place that light was made
.
Hold it up
Soak it in
Let it grow around so you can
Feel it pull
Your walls apart
Necessary departures
.

Midnight forest
Racing heart
There's something written on the inside
Of my eyelids
But I don't know where to start
It took five days of walking
Before my mind settled down
I remember the moment
When my mental clouds
.
Separated
Separated
Separated
Separate
.

Let's drink the water
Instead of worshipping the well
Wound and healing
Walking in the same door
Wound and healing
.
whisperYell your secrets
Listen well, I'm lost
Landscapes in your cheekbones
Let yourself get caught
.
Hemlock baths
Crackling needles
Rooted in our chest
Swaying thoughts
Touching branches
The green outstretched
.
A perfect bird
Has landed on your shoulder
A perfect bird

Garden Trivia
03:27
|
|||
We've been playing tetris
Chipping away at that feeling on my skin
Little deaths
Scraping shit from floorboards
We are young. We'll adjust our heads.
As we walked up
We saw you changing
The singularity is near
Garden trivia with the evergreens
Not embarrassed of your year
.
They wanted to be
The drugs themselves
.
Evaporating masterpiece
You forgot to write it down
I guess I want to tear
What I was told to pieces
.
Cranberry moonrise
From the middle of the lake
Skyote fly-bys
As we're making up songs with Sage
These words are just a blanket
Over mystery
But the cover is always getting torn
Letting out the beams

Sorry
I did not know what to do
I just wanted to
I just wanted to
Breathe
Before sending this
And hearing me say that out loud
And trying to figure out if I'm doing the right thing
Which I have no idea what I'm doing
And I'm kind of ...
Scared I think
Not scared but... Yeah
Sorry
Thanks for being around for me
To share this kind of stuff
And uh... I don't know
Um. I guess I am really sorry
Because I only come forward, umm
When I'm very in need of something
And I'm sorry for that
I'm trying to think of times I was there for you
I really hope so
But right now I'm kind of
Lost, you know...
And I just wanted to...
I don't know...
Thanks.
