porch swings, orange things on west washington skating over last spring, all the things I didn't mean but I still done pardon my impatience, I'm just trying to have some fun porch swings, orange things, the dead leaves in your front yard the criss-cross patterns on my bedspread, laying down, sleeping it off things got too hard pumpkins, my pants, halloween hair and a flared out romance.

Weaver 03:54
Alien, where'd you come from? I'd pierce my skin if you would stick around and take a second look- see what you might have missed. don't get to close to the sun not the right season, no reason to run life's a disease but the cure is inside everyone. But if you go- I swear, I will meet you there. The sunlight in your hair turning it back into a natural blonde.

Heat Moves 02:45
oh my god I'm feeling fine only a year but it seemed just like a lifetime take a nap, try to unwind embrace the happy and your dreams will leave your troubles all behind I swear it will be fine, but nightmares happen all the time. now we're living in the city and always having such a blast swelling seconds swirl around us empty days go flying past my life seems like an endless black hole that sucks up time but at the same time it feels alright just getting by so I guess I'm doing fine

Labor Day 03:01
out in the white-cap pounding waves try to remember the place while orange juice and champagne swirled around in my stomach like a hurricane and then the thick clouds came, letting the sun take a break for the holiday. when I squinted I thought I could almost see the sparkle, when I opened them up it was gone.

Me & Hawkins 06:12
passed out on a massive brig, woke up to a whispering kid he's got a map and he knows where he ain't with a rusty old compass kinda charming and quaint and so we threw a mutiny steered it straight towards the sun, and we stole the cursed treasure- it was risky but fun. it's a decade later and for years we've been lost cursed treasure at a terrible cost and the whole ship sank, water murky and cold and my friend swam home but I was tired and old and so I let go, water filling my lungs until I heard a funny voice like someone speaking in tongues and then I woke up water logged to the bone a skeleton with no place to call home except the ocean floor not such a bad place to live and now I spend my days all searching for the skeleton kid all that glitters is gold and dead men do tell tales, but they're all tired and old.

Muffie 03:26
it's strange how our teeth would knock together and the sweat would stick to the straps sliding down your shoulders- I won't hold my breath.

Skeleton 01:25

Wrinkles 02:21
these faces in the crowd; wrinkles on a soft and dry, white cloud. floating by talking loud even when there's no one else around until the rain comes down drowning their voices out ending the silence drought the winds will huff and shout "hear me, hear me" it and will all amount to another face in the clouds. No one hears it.

what happened, were you there? I didn't catch it, we were shaking upstairs. seems celebrations in the air, but whats a year if no one's keeping track or even really cares? weren't you blue when I last saw you around? heard your voice when you weren't making a sound. and thats the way it will go down: a hundred years of silence till we're dead underground and it's all empty champagne showers, ancient half an hours

Happy Guy 09:09
oh, roll me over. it's 11:02, you love house music and I don't like you. oh, I can taste the normal and when I open my mouth it spews and all the people around me will carefully confuse it for the truth. they always do, just like you.
