Running
02:22
|
|||
|
swim to the shore / crawl out on dry land / sticks in yr hair / yr fists filled with sand / i am small on the earth / bent and small on the beach / broken shells in the sand / breaking waves at my feet / skinny wrists that stick out / wrists and nobly knees / i am small on the earth / i am timid and free / i don't know what to do now

Hello EJ Hughes
00:56
|
|||
|
you grab the bag / i'll clear the way / there' nothing to hold us back / you count back to / i always lose track and time goes fast / i think this could be the same place / because from this view the bark-less trees dip down to touch the rocky beach /
you always sketch the sweetest things / we're bound in forms / its anchoring / the concepts stretch from you to me / they're carved in stone / they're anchoring

A Fragment for the Chief
01:28
|
|||
|
its not every day we're on streets we've never seen / its not every place our visions will dance and sing / we're gunning down states in serialized decay / from motion to sleep / day to day / in sync

Go North
02:29
|
|||
|
in the summer the tundra grows a million colours and the sun never goes down / in the city i nurse a hundred thousand failures sinking past the horizon / if i don't go north this year i'll die
and the huskies singing sweet i love yous / eating bloody bones / little jamie he's lost out there somewhere living off the marrow / if i don't go north this year i'll die.

Bridge Living
01:41
|
|||
|
give me shelter cause it need it now / i can't live under this bridge forever / i'm not a troll or a billy goat / i'm just a man trying to make a living / give me $10 cause i need it now / i can't live on rice and ramen forever / i'll build a shelter cause i need one now / i won't live under this bridge forever / i'm not a troll or a billing goat / i'm just a man trying to make a living / when it all comes down and there's nothing left, thats what i am.

Zoom
01:12
|

|
every song sounds like zooming / zoom around around / ditches on the soft right shoulder are lush with grass / singing songs on stoney beaches / find a feather on the rocks / puffs of wind like fuzzy peaches i missed you and i know its dumb

Three Reasons
01:15
|
|||
|
you gave me a reason much bolder than me / you gave me a reason through diffusion / merging the boundaries lain between you and me / you gave me a reason much bolder than me /
when papers rain on older me / deep within some cold machine / i can't help thinking that this cant be the end.

Ten to One
02:08
|
|||
|
separate the things that we can keep / all the boats will all break free and drift out just out of reach / separate the dreams from static sleep / as if the mornings have gone away / when they're gone we'll see it all / be all, save me tonight and i'll see you tonight / from the shores they sing / to all the parts they bridge, piece by piece / from the shores they sing / a 10 to 1 countdown
|

Compass
01:52
|
|||
|
i wouldn't claim these things... no way / dyed red then green / the points on our compass soar / the points on our compass soar / i wouldn't claim these things... no way /
from coast to coast now its anchors coming up / you pick yr marks then you drive them to the ground / up from the depths i can this welling up / up to the point up to the mark /

A Heartbreaker
01:02
|
|||
|
you're resting with your head on the side of the bus waiting for your stop and you're thinking of all the things you won't see when you're not at the beach / call me up i'll go anywhere

Seven Days
02:34
|
|||
|
i was angry for seven days after you said what you were thinking / sick in my gut for seven days / nobody asked for your opinion
life's not so hard / i got hobbies out the ying yang / flipping boards and fixing cars / playing gloc in a marching band
ride my bike all over small town streets / go to the legion for a beer / talking shop with the codgers on the beat / throw a tube steak on the grill
my kids are living happy lives, doing better than my sisters / i got this fear i can never quite deny that they're gonna fuck up like my sisters
ride my bike all over small town streets / go to the legion for a beer / talking shop with the codgers on the beat / throw a tube steak on the grill
i was angry for seven days

you don't have to take it seriously though i know you do when its on a page / its so hard to divorce the place and time from a persons face / you'd do well to consider the source.
from my formally well known / little bitter bottled ship cast off / a revision, replacement and selfish script to disconnect the threads
you'd do well to take it lightly / you'd do well to ignore the whole horrid thing / you can't treat it like a revelation / the birds won't tumble from their branches / the waves won't swallow up your island /

one of 10,000 siblings without any friends / i was a foundling in 18th century france / born in the gutter / bred in the blood and the shit / the sole survivor / my family is my fist

Lebanon 8
00:47
|

|
they impound the corners / swing debts to the bay /
primed and ready for the actioning /
while hearts and minds turn steel /
bound and gagged for their effigy
these actions attain unimaginable speeds
they march into me

Front
01:25
|
|||
|
with all the things to explain /
they separate me /
from all the things which remain/
only / which we've attempted to reach
abject or intimate /
we've the means to force our mistakes only
all the tensions run so deep / patronized and held in place
the mixing patterns all turn grey or opaque
you can't mix the front to the back

Ashli
01:54
|
|||
|
she grew up in texas / back-combs her hair /
on a raw food diet / she's gonna live forever /
grab your yoga gear and see where it'll take you /
if you believe they will, good things can happen to you /
in the kootenays cross legged on a pillow /
with the power of the new age we'll build a new tomorrow
ashliiiiiiiii
on the sunshie coast / between two balls of copper
sucking back pure oxygen / no one can stop her
at the rock and crystal show
she's a reiki master / heals with the power of touch
reading books by deepak chopra / living a life of love

call the author / don't let it sleep /
while you're rocking up and down on your thankful feet /
the wind is changing out in the dark /
breaking clouds and branches / our paths will merge /
through the rain the branches sing / swing and sway /
i want to believe /
through the summer i'm not my name /
who set this fire / who stole the game /
with every breath and every word, no there's no excuses /
locked inside these parking lots / an empty frame
inside the act within the move the structure consumes you
drift and fade to stars and seas / id set you free
i waited in the summer sun for my unrolled pants to dry /
i've been wading in the water / i've been waiting all my life /
the berries ate the blossoms / sunlight shimmers through the trees
our reflections in the water / algae green under our feet /
we can dig it up together like a fish burying eggs /
standing firm against the river / current pulling at our legs /
wind against our faces sweeps the pollen out to sea /
candy wrappers on the concrete shut down under lock and key
press my cheek against the glass / push the salmon berries back
you cut yr foot on broken glass infront of the encampment / pooling up up past the moss the planks and rotting docks / you lost your balance up on the rocks and we merge completely / and the signs now rise above the trees
