mountain air, goofy smile taking cabs to the liquor store being young and feeling old and wild and getting sore came from north & south met on the shore talk me down I'll talk you out "officer it's not us you're looking for in fact, those boys they just ran out" spilled light beer all over the floor sing low, sing high blend on the shore sing low, singing high blend on the shore

Setting Sun 03:32
pale as the moonlight warm like a setting sun my night and day stay with me all night when we wake we will be one a spirit forged in sheets of grey down by that slow stream where blue fingers thawed with time green light dancing all around when I'm wrapped in your sunbeam my whole world begins to rhyme without a sound I plant the verses in your ground and what grows there goes who knows where everyday we'll see and what grows there goes who knows where but that slow stream is still winding nourishing our green

did I talk too little? did I take too much? well, now that we've made contact I think we should lose touch you can make excuses, cut off my tongue instead of spitting fire I'll be spitting blood, spitting blood I don't know what I think I'll find on these long walks by myself maybe I'll figure out who and where you are maybe pigs will fly and I'll will myself to love you less and we'll take our bones down a backroad in my car but it's all just a ride to the train in the morning (mhm) I am sick of wasting time caring about people who won't give me their time I am sick of saying it's the last time when I'm pretty damn sure it's not I am tired of obligation, acting caring when I'm vacant I need a permanent vacation from these thoughts, from these thoughts it's like a song I've sung for so long I don't know what I'm singing it for it's got me jaded and insecure it's got my vocal chords shot and when I'm around you I sing the same sad tune again and again and again and again and again and again I wonder if you're wondering but you're not NO it's all just a Rolling Rock on a Thursday and this will come as a shock, but what you don't say says more than words could reveal we used to scream now we just make a squeal speak to me or just talk to me before I'm dead and gone remember me, remember me remember the forgotten song and I don't know you put I'm pretty close with the fog oh, but I'll never learn the way behind that mask despite my head on your lap on a cool autumn night the warmth and the cold of your squinting eye and I'll hear the echoes of your safe haven's call and you'll never hear anything at all

you kept me up last night you weren't even around went searching in the dark no trace of your light was found so restless now you're what I want, can't need, don't have in my dreams you're climbing up you fell straight to the ground you were as dazed confused and fucked up as I'm feeling now unwrapped from your cloud where we mended the bones in your warmth thought that the distance could smother the flame the mask fell apart thought it would help to just look away but your squinting eye still burns me today now look who's lost in the night I'm a dark type of glad but you'll always be in lights I'm just a passing fad want you so bad that I sort of wish you never were you're an enigma I'm a closed book lost on your shelf her head's made of fire and that's all it took to make ashes of our selves thought that the distance could smother the flame the mask fell apart I can sail across seas but I still can't escape your squinting eye ...still burns me the same you kept me up last night I don't want you around

Kia Soul 05:16
calling mission control: we're drifting into the void in the back of a Kia Soul and I don't know if she's tethered like I am sound doesn't travel well out here I can sense my heart beating but not if it's love or fear I don't know how you draw me so near I don't know if it's love or if it's fear to be honest, it's nerve wracking to be blunt, my skull's cracking now to be honest, it's nerve wracking to be blunt, my skull's cracking the memories are slipping out the memories are slipping out now and dripping through my hands [Dream by Jay Jenei]: Dream Zach Cadillac Corinne weird guys Kevin (work) Shannon will Blake Elvis magnets my car tied up shotgun neighborhood by straw bridge strange dark target Wilcox and kid who was in driveway with friends and would only talk to Wilcox
