Hotter Than Heaven

When I’m gone
What will I remember most
I fell asleep with you on the phone
Those buildings sure were tall
When I die I’ll finally get to rest my bones
They’ve walked through the night alone
They’ve gone further than my heart could go
September it’s finally summer
I’m a highland parker
With no cellular marker
I said I’d try it didn’t I try it
The train home
Is hazy like my sights are long
I’m as jaded as a blue green stone
But I’ll come back with a different song
Sun setter it’s morning somewhere
I will send my archer
With no cellular marker
On your front step back from Bushwick
Where have you been I cannot remember
The chromes and the heathers
Roaming untethered
Poor without measure
Worn without weather
Hotter than heaven
September seven
September seven

What if I told you
Maybe last September
I could feel the changes in the wind
Cooling down more
In the early evening
The smell of flowers dying again
I thought you’d never know you know
I thought you’d never know
But here we are in our corner of the world
If I could fathom
Really just imagine
The warm breeze clutching to first thaw
You’d be standing
Waiting at the back fence
Grinning like you knew it all along
I thought you’d never know you know
I thought you’d never know
But here you are in my corner of the world
Come full circle I can still remember
The way it looked from your streets edge
Green and shrouded with tiny gleams of yellow
Speckled violet by sunsets red
the way it looked from your streets edge
I thought you’d never know you know
I thought you’d never know
But here we are in our corner of the world
I thought you’d never know you know
I thought you’d dare not go
But here we are in our corner of the world

Water Snakes
03:28
|

Wading in the water
I was the color blue
I tried to tilt my head back
And let my thoughts swim loose
They circled round like watersnakes
Then disappeared into the lake
I watched the ripples scatter in their haste
I watched the ripples scatter in their haste
Didn’t they tell me
Don’t run on an empty head
If I was listening I didn’t hear what they said
Their words all hissed like watersnakes
And though the noise cut like a blade
I told myself it’s not worth being afraid
I told myself it’s not worth being afraid
Round and round the wheel
It’s not what they say it’s how they make you feel
Maybe I don’t know
I’m the moon’s reflection on the lake dark and cold
I always fall for the mirrors and the smoke
I woke up in the garden
Carpeted by light
Back to where I started
Tiny sprouts of life
They surfaced just like watersnakes
Their tiny heads had come to make
The circle that my fingers softly trace
the circle that my fingers softly trace
Round and round the wheel
It’s not what they say it’s how they make you feel
Maybe I don’t know
I’m the moon’s reflection on the lake dark and cold
I always fall for the mirrors and the smoke

Scavenger Bird

I’m a scavenger bird
I’ve learned and unlearned
What it is I think I deserve
It’s only chance
That I should enjoy what I’ve earned
Just before night
Hovering five feet from the earth
Caught in a shroud
Trying to stand out in the murk
In the dew dropped morning
Clouds will cry
I’ll be none the wiser for staying inside
I’m a scavenger bird
I soar and search
Carrying my wings of worth
Looking for dead leaves
Or little specks of iridescent dirt
In the cold damp morning
Flowers will sigh
I'll be none the wiser
For staying inside
I’m a scavenger bird
Trying to discern
What to keep and what to burn
A little piece there
And something to spare for the worms
And then I’ll be off
Ready or not
Moving with the evening fog
Like getting pulled with the crowd
Can’t feel the ground
but you don’t try to make it stop

Trial By Fire
04:26
|
|||
Warm yourself under the heat vent
In this cold little world that we’re living in
Sometimes it’s nice to pretend
Sometimes it’s nice
Sometimes I wonder how much pretending
We do to survive
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Cool yourself under the faucet
Try not to think about what you would do
if you lost it
What is this life with no one to remember it by
What is a body in pain to you
And what if they multiply
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Close yourself off from the real world
Open only to listen to the same kind of people
How do I make it right
With two wrongs on either side
How have we come to this place
And who and what do we hide behind
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Trial by fire

Lifeline
03:08
|

Don’t ever feel like you’re losing time
When the odds have already made up their mind
Go make a place for your heart to say
You’ve got more on your side in more ways than you think
But I guess thinking about you doesn't change anything
I’m just wasting a lifeline
Sorry I missed you but didn’t say
When the days got so short I got scared away
With winter behind us and who knows to go
I’m a bit occupied but it always feels slow
But I guess thinking about you doesn't change anything
I’m just wasting a lifeline
But I guess thinking about you doesn't change anything
I’m just wasting wasting wasting a lifeline

Daisy Chain

Honeysuckle growing on the vine
Creeping sweetly like the pass of time
My heartache is woven
Through the barbed wire tightly twined
Like honeysuckle growing on the vine
Daisies in the chainlink break and mend
Good as mended then they break again
I let my conscience grow petals and a stem
Daisies in the chain link break and mend
If I could push the pull above my head and throw it far away
I’d likely feel abandoned without sadness I would never be the same
Skipping through the poppies like a stone
Swimming through the ever sinking pull
Out in the clearing I tied my hands with rope
Skipping through the poppies like a stone
Skipping through the poppies like a stone
The sun is setting slow and steady and I want to
But first bask in it’s celebrity star struck eyes

Isolation
04:07
|

How’d I end up on this planet
Isolation
I’ve been so lost since I’ve landed
Isolation
Wouldn’t know who to call if I could
They’d only say worrying does no good
I’m just an echo in a cavern
Isolation
Prospects but no motivation
Isolation
Dazed in an anticipation
Isolation
Not every door has a key
I close my eyes just to see
Growing an appreciation
For Isolation isolation
Pour another cup let it overflow
Let your troubles go go go
Go to bed and dream it’s not really as it seems
Let it go go go go go
Holding you out of arms reach
Keeping my toes with the beat
I’m just an echo in a canyon
Isolation isolation
Pour another cup let it overflow
Let your troubles go go go
Go to bed and dream it’s not really as it seems
Let it go go go go go
Isolation

Mother Mercury

Come on get your head right
Somebody’s watching you
Don’t let the modern pulse get the best of you
Better to kill those dreams yourself than let somebody else
Gotta pull yourself up no good sleeping
You’re the closest thing to real will I feel that way years from now
Hardly think I’m ready for a lifetime under your spell
Dressed up for the wedding I’m eight years old and ready
To live through the nineties like I will turn out fine
And all it is is number after number on the number line
All that shows on paper is all that's left that I can define
Hard times though you can’t remind me if you tried
Guess I put it in the back of my mind
I’m just your baby much as you are mine
And the world’s just a hole right between my eyes
Stuck on the road between your world and mine
I’m moving to New York to disorient my mind
It’s the only place that I can feel so far away and so close to home
Hard times though you can’t remind me if you tried
Guess I put it in the back of my mind
I’m just your baby much as you are mine
And the world’s just a hole right between my eyes
I might be nothing but nothing can negate me
I am a nobody but nobody can break me

Deep End
03:57

On a winter’s day
Looking out the door at the leaves and lace
I bid the hard dirt wins from now and until early May
Like a needle’s eye
Stringing conversation with a magnifying
Glass full or empty I’m contented that your mine
You feel it too
Nothing to see in an empty room
Remember how we ran that day
To the falls in the pouring rain
I wanna fly with trouble close behind
And the warmth of every summer day gone by
I wanna run to the pounding of our blood
And the beating of our hearts and of the sun
Silver on the banks
Moving with the cars in a steady daze
The storms the castle and the kingdom is the frozen lake
I can see us there
Counting the steps up a thousands stairs
We wore our shoes down to the bone and didn't care
Remember the time we laughed till the tears fell from our eyes
At the end of the day
Sleepy eyed you say
I wanna fly with trouble close behind
And the warmth of every summer day gone by
I wanna run to the pounding in our blood
Feel the betting of our hearts and of the sun
You feel it too
Nothing to write in an empty room
Remember how we ran that day
To the falls in the pouring rain
I wanna fly with trouble in our eyes
And the warmth of every summer day gone by
I wanna run to the pounding of our blood
And the beating of our hearts and of the sun
We could run away

When I met you years ago
The years flashed by my eyes
It’s like I already knew you in another life
Back then we were clouds of chaos swirling briefly by
If I’m the rain cloud you’re the same cloud in another sky
Sunny days we learned to chase the music in our minds
Knowing we’d evaporate if taken by our lies
Back then we were flowers budding verses without rhyme
If I’m the sundown you're the next town turning out the lights
Growing up is learning who you have to leave behind
Every chapter is another song for you to write
I can hear a melody softly drifting by
If I’m the daybreak you’re the sun’s wake breathing in new life

My One

My love if I had known that you would fill my life with song
That you’d complete the parts of me that felt undone
How fast would I run?
Faster than the days gone
To you
To you if I had said I’m scared to lose you friend of mine
Would you proclaim those words from mountains in our minds?
How high would I climb?
How high wouldn’t I?
For you and I
For you and I my eyes close and open at the break of day
For you and I time goes at such a pace
How long have I wanted?
How long til the furthest sun?
My one
My one had I been sleeping not to see you all along?
And am I dreaming now to see you as you are?
You’re so much more than I thought
You’re everything I want
My love
