finding your loss, and losing the trail into the night you lost your will swallowed the key, bit by bit your rope swing eyes roll to the side I'm bored of myself too hide under your tongue protect the one you love all you care about is getting home put down my iron tools they don't bend the truth, they bend you alone at home you fell asleep under the tree it's hard to believe I've been with you all of this time maybe you're me your rope swing eyes roll to the side I'm bored of myself too look to the side rope swing smile I'd lose me too hide under your tongue protect the one you love all you care about is getting home put down my iron tools they don't bend the truth, they bend you alone at home

feel the rain in Winnebago feel the bombs fall they're all gone, and where did they go? they'd been told the moon could fall follow me, fever dream I'm told the moon could fall pieces fall, where'd the time go? lover's lane with a cold war cause sent them up glowing yellow now we wait in a stalled car

my bike broke last year and I lost my cool you didn't wait for me, but I'd wait for you I wanna say things for how they'll sound not what I'm thinking, that's not what I mean painted it pinstripe blue and greased up the chain I wait for you, and I left it in the grass under the overpass graduated at last I'm not old enough sometimes I don't answer what you ask I'm left in the grass slowly at first but getting faster your tires spin on black matter feel the ease of letting go of things you'd have never controlled I wait for you, and I left it in the grass under the overpass I don't answer what you ask, I'm left in the grass

I guess I thought that it would be the way that I envisioned every day a different play revision instead, I'm treading water instead, I'm barely lived instead, I'm only useful to the braindead I thought we'd be singing nights away I thought I'd see a different part of you every day every time I'm in the desert of my own volition all my demons come to stay they speak at inner goddess convince her that they need to stay I thought we'd be singing nights away I thought I'd see a different part of you every day I thought we'd have forever to stay this way

planchette 05:15
found a figure in the pale of my hand a low moon in crescent, I don't read the leaves get out of here where I can't find you get out of here while I can't follow you wild eyed swing take an axe to him I know your figure I'll roll your bones I found a friend in the knots of my oak his old fingers felt my signs and rolled all my bones get out of here somewhere I won't go get out of here somewhere I won't go wild eyed swing take an axe to him I know your figure I'll roll your bones palms open so I can read the leaves pull an axe from me

Dry 02:59
find a good word better than the words I've had say it better quiet and blurred see you around, it's hot for May like one great thing hold it closely, your big idea like one great thing find a sense of self, falling down upright the ground floor made of parts and impulses say it soft made a way to forget to get lost find a sense of self, falling down upright the ground floor

dependency, I know what you're thinking about I've got proof of you in my bank account I knew my head would spin, without a doubt in your direction it's never worth it it's always the same thing I think I'm onto something hey kid, I'll keep my dragon voice to myself and not vamporize the kind of bad feeling that I'm gonna like and try not to admit and I'm not blaming, I'm just explaining I'll see you later inside a brown paper bag you're so familiar and non-judgemental and I'm just waiting, because you're my only friend can't lose you again dependency, I know what you're thinking about

(these are re-written to the best of our knowledge...nobody really knows the original ancient words) smokey grip sliding off your lungs give more to the constellations were you a believing heart? haunted to me it is your best I'm holding you to it it is your ghost holding me back give more to the big hole in the ground is anybody seeing? smokey grip sliding off your lungs give more to the constellations it is your best I'm holding you to it it is your ghost holding me back

softer things have lived on my lips lately, I feel so serious and not like me I don't wanna care if your shoes are on my sofa I'd rather float like a snowflake on your nose we all burn out, it's just our way burn with me until you're grey tick marks on our doorframe just some body parts break my heart I wish you could see my body with new eyes lately I feel so similar and not like me I don't wanna care if her shoes are on your sofa or how her thoughts are new like mine used to be we all burn out, it's just our way burn with me until you're grey tick marks on our doorframe just some body parts so break my heart

about

Side Thing Rockford, Illinois

I asked the local witch to throw some twigs and pine cones down my basement stairs and this was the sound it made. I screamed, she screamed, the stairs is still screaming.
