Talk is old, nothing is told
These tired words makin' me erode
Talk is old, too much is told
I want secrets nobody knows
If one were to think it through,
careful plans to be fool proof
If one were too see it through
sure and subtle in all their moves
Cause talk is old, nothing is told
every word less valuable
Yeah talk is old, too much is told
I'm building walls with no footholds
Burn the bridge and seal the gate
I will not disintegrate
Deep within I will keep safe
the secret self, my greater fate
No man's an island
but no man's what I am
I've reeled my mind in
safe in the silence

Forest Lake

This scene is set for someone else
lunar lit, the frozen lake glows
and some music plays in my car
in the dark
We don't know how to love
so we pretend to make it
flounder in the spaces
of my car in the dark
and you look like a painting
renaissance and alien
in my arms in the dark
we kiss like two lonely friends
tired of our loneliness
and we both know the other
doesn't belong
I don't know how to feel
I'm jealous of your quiet moans
reactions of your skin and bones
to just the right tender touch
and I think back to summer
when I was with another
she pressed upon my wrists and palms

You can spin your sadness soft as silk
or weave it thick like wool
it won't keep out the cold
you can beg the bison to come and hear
the sorrow in your song
she will not listen long
what are you
that she should care
or even turn her head?
you think you
since you've learned despair
have gained significance
so wander as you will
through the fields in pursuit of deer
three line up on a hill
and take it as a sign
they were sent for you
expecting god knows what
you're a fool who thinks too much
the racing mind is easily outrun
out here you mean nothing to no one
no one
I will swallow you whole

Goddamn is that really barbed wire
wrapped up my leg?
a snake made of rust
Goddamn I've done myself in
was this what I want
my bed in the dust?
Time can break you down
Time can break you down
Time will break you down
Time will break you down
Oh I feel my heart stir
goading me to return

Fear In Love

Now we know we're both afraid
this isn't just to make you feel safe
but please know that I do love you
How this ends is hard to know
I only hope that we both can grow in
good soil for our reaching roots
Love ain't romantic
So try not to panic
Soon you'll know I'm a fool
wound up tight tryin' to play it cool
I'm ill suited in the love I bring
Of my heart it's hard to know
the right side of the ebb and flow
I'm constantly caught up in that swing
Cause love ain't romantic
and I'm trying not to panic
Am I in too deep?
Can't find my footing.
What's underneath that I can't figure out?

Fantasy Folly

Ain't it right there's nothin' like the beauty
that you don't know?
Oh folly, what's softer than what I
have yet to hold?
Oh you know I love it
the taste of yearning
I let it fill me up
til you're all I'm thinkin' of
but stay beyond my reach
safe in fantasy
Ain't it right there's nothing worse than the beauty
that you now hold?
Well it's nothin' like those scenes in your head or what
the tales told
Cause nothing is sweeter
than love unreturned
it's honey on my lips
don't give me your kiss
it's wasted on me
just give me fantasy
I'm all craving

Tight Fort

What good is it for somebody to know
their thoughts are fucked but they can't them go?
I'm just a self aware asshole
I won't say it 'til I mean it it's why I'm quiet
I wouldn't call it self control, I'm undecided
It festers on the inside
But you can bet I hate the way you make me feel
like a spoiled child who has to share his meal
I don't want it anymore
Now I'm the coward crook who cannot fire his gun
If I shoot you, friend, then both of us draw blood
a shot at you is a shot at me
And when I wrote this song it sounded like you
and like grinding teeth, this is the release
of your spirit through my hateful love
no pleasure does it bring and I know full well the irony
Still it isn't fair to just be self away of the resentment
I keep on a leash
I cannot put this beast down

Ignorance
03:53

I can't help it
it pours out of me
these sad, slow songs
that white boys sing
sippin' on their coffee
the weight of their minds larger than life
or so it seems
But maybe I'm lyin'
cause it's easier to say
that I have no control
over who I am
day to day
not as angsty as some assume
not as happy as I should be
to tell the truth
But I swear I'm growin'
as much as I can
and I swear I know myself
and I always try to understand
as much as my mind might allow
and I am for love
but these days I've turned so sour
So when I look outside
of the folly in my head
into our beautiful world
spoiled by that same ignorance
I find comfort and peace
when I look up
brothers and sisters
we're less than dust to the dust
not to take away
from every pain
but we hardly matter in the end
no it doesn't take away
from what should be done today
cause it seems dangerous to pretend
that we are anything

Lonely as I've been
lonely as I could be
these days it don't feel much
like loneliness to me
I do not need
to be seen by knowing eyes
or hear my name called out
or feel someone by my side
sometimes I think
I could be anyone
and all that I am is just
a suit that I've put on
but here I'm stripped bare
and I am chaos
blissfully nothing to no one
I'm not found or lost
eyes in the trees
wrap me up in skin and bone
I hear a voice name me then ask me to come home
crowded in skin
I fear for what I am
and what I do next will be like murder in my hands
