In Photographs

Forever in my heart. I'll never forget you. Even in the dark, you were my friend. And in photographs you are with me. You stand with me. Nothing ever ends in a photograph. My mind's trying to take a picture of you while you're dancing. You're exploding to the music. My ghost found a home out on the highway cursing engines and haunting bridges. I just can't stand still. I'm a mover not a fighter. I still love her. Her fear found a home in a family. Bought a new house. Forgot about me.

Dying Days
03:06
|
|

Ramblin down the road. Living to let go. Watching families grow while I struggle to hold on. All my storylines hiding in plain sight. Buried in goodbyes. It's too late but I'm getting wise. Don't ask me, I can't do nothing right. Forsaken, fall in love, fall behind. Second guess every kiss. Who am I? All I know - open road, open sky. Living in a chase. You see it on my face. All my dying days. Memories of Grace. Wily on my tail. Coffee's getting stale. Specifics fade. I catch up with my age.

Lost & Broke
04:27

|

We been living to get lost, to feel our pulse. Busy taking the edge off. To hell with the cost. Everybody that you've loved done you so wrong. Up all night in a deadlock, I love you even more. Lost and broke, dreaming of a face I know. Memories don't grow old. Why did I let you go? You were walking the new dog. You rang my phone. Answering, it was your mom from the hospital. Took a bite out of your arm, wild not wrong. And we fought when we got home. I slept on the floor. Why do I keep holding on? Everything I love is gone. How many rights unmake a wrong? Where is it that I belong... that we belong?

Empty Pockets
03:11

|

All of the nature kids, mystical musicians promised escapism. I thought you had that real wisdom. I gave it all away. I resolved, it was all fake and walked with empty pockets. Now, I realize I got lost in it. No one. Nothing. Nada. No. Lost in the real woods. Dry air cracked my lips with blood. Metaphors so meta. What do they mean? I forgot. Was it a parking lot, a waterfall, was it hot? When you were in my arms, was I writing a breakup song?

Winds of Clarity

Bleak storm world bearing down on this little car, parked for too long. Thinking bout all that I've lost. Feels like every cloud's been saving up it's rain for right now. But I'm dry somehow, watching it bury me. Carry me. Take care of me. Deep green dream, I want it now. My love is burned all the way down. My candle is a waxy mountain towering. Days like that, gasping for air. A heart attack. I double dare, do what you want before the winds of clarity carry me. Take care of me.

Spent Lessons
03:22

Mental health. Oh, my spiritual wealth. Obsession with possessing love and living well. Tiny cracks in the dam of my demons whisper songs from a hell of my making. Faking it til my mind's on heaven, but the quiet sky just keeps me guessing. Confessing I spent every lesson and my heart feels like an empty well. Ancient wisdom that I once bathed in feels like mud on my soul in the rain and I'm praying. Anything. Everything. Nothing at all. I'm falling fast and slow and not at all.

Time Traveler

When I get it right. All the happy tears, with you by my side. Through all the shadow years. How hard we had to fight. Now look at where we are. Distances time travels in the dark. Time Traveler. Paradise. Sun shining. Sunshine. Built a family from the hand me down scraps of sanity. Looking to the sky. Cutting new keys. Learning to improvise. A paradise air pocket in the light.

Yield to Flame
03:06
|
|

Rolling down more driveways than the everyman's ever seen. Saying goodbye most days. Do my best to forget your name. I can't explain it. But who can? Every wish that I ever made came true and then I ruined it. I know that all will yield to flame. In enough trouble as it is. The sun and the moon, the same. Greetings from the fire burning. I know I'm being haunted by the best things that happened to me. I can't explain it. But who can? On the morning that you passed away, I felt all the machines inside me break. All the memories were lit on fire. Ever since then, I been all the liars. I been every crook that I could be. I been all the dark the light buries. I been all the wrong the right carries. Been everybody but me. I can't explain it. But who can?

Amelia Bean

Golden gates turning gray. Fog is rising. I am fighting feeling ancient, wise, and dumb. In a crowd, I feel alone. Redwood forest. Oceans green. Submarines look for me. Dogs and cats and birds and mice too, in their eyes I look for you. Amelia Bean. Life is cracking in the heat. Winners losing. Losers bleed. Finders weeping. Nothing keeps. Fires are rising. We don't sleep. Do you remember when you met me? Who were we then? What could be? Daily epic. Silver screen. Tunnel vision memories.
