Bluebeard

Count the dust in quiet avoidance
Rereading an old copy of Vonnegut’s Bluebeard
The protagonist is clearly my father
It doesn’t get any better
The pain my my chest just gets duller
And when I look in the mirror
Mom’s delicate wrist I see in the corner

Sparklehorse

Sparkling horses at the coyote club
Shot in the leg, I wanna be just like them
Forget where I’m from
Laughter wanes each day, somehow
I sparkle and wait, I sparkle and wait
The sun is always getting in my eyes
When will it go? I don’t even know
Cargo’s so heavy, it’s so bright, so glassy
And I’m so small

Pushed out of this world
Caught in between staying
Running barefoot on the hot concrete
I let the sun burn slowly
If I could pick another life, I would
You’d find me in another dream
Floating in the air like a feather
You’d never know it was me
Waiting for my life to change
Someone to take the blame
I’ve had enough
Where is my dream?
If I could pick another life, I would
You’d find me in another dream
Floating in the air like a feather
You’d never know it was me
Where is my dream?

Grape juice

I can’t hang today
I’m not in the mood
Baby’s treating me real bad
Makes me want to stick my head
Into the sink
Into the sink
Said I’m only good for one thing
A moldy bottle of Welch’s juice
I left in my closet I forgot
To drink
I forgot to drink
I forgot to drink
I forgot to drink

She came into my room, told me it’s time to go. Took my hand, it was smooth like velvet, and smelled of ginger. She led me out the door, “I can help you, it’s time to let go.” Forgot what face I have on today, the clouds can tell you so.

Like ivory
06:27
|

|
Fog filled the city just for me
I was in San Francisco trying to forgot
On top of a hill I screamed
“I wish I was made of metal”
Or like ivory
Fog filled the city
Like the cigarette you smoked
On the ledge of that bridge
When you left
Cement filled my bones
And the concrete sealed up
Like ivory
It makes me sad
Sometimes I cry
You faded away
Without a proper goodbye
I still miss you in the morning
I still miss you in the morning
I still miss you in the morning
You were like ivory, oh

Razorbraids

Razorbraids in my hair
I like it that way
Didn’t think you’d care
It took too long to get close to you
The moment’s wrong
Sharp and obtuse
You said it’s casual, familiar, and fleeting
I left my guard at home under the sink
Last time I let you come around
Cut too deep when I let my hair down
It’s a good thing that I tried
Slaughtered the cow, took what’s mine
Razorbraids in my hair
They’re starting to hurt
You left them there
I’m afraid to get close to you
I’m not that strong
Ready to use
You said it’s casual, familiar, and fleeting
I left my guard at home under the sink
Last time I let you come around
Cut too deep when I let my hair down
It’s a good thing that I tried
Slaughtered the cow, took what’s mine
Razorbraids in my hair

Teeth

I think I’ve done it again
Built you up in a tower of glass
And when it shattered
It was always my fault
It was always my fault
You knew how to drill
Deep into my teeth
Disguised it as a thrill
A smile I’d never see
You knew I was in the city
Chose to avoid the fallout
And I’m used to being used
And I’m used to losing
It doesn’t really matter
I think, I know you’ve found the world
In the dirt under your nails

It sounds like a horse
It wasn’t always the worst
I knew you’d be forever
Blue since the day we parted
Nineteen’s a funny time to be
The world’s only just started
We’ve only just started
We’ve only just started
Glassy was the sky
A star told me it’s right
A long, long drive at night
Through the canyon
We fly
We fly
