Conversation of Sighs
Cold feet and a heart beat
I know I am not what I, I thought I was
I think I know, you you think you know me
well, maybe, perhaps, unlikely
Because I am always two ways
What I can and cannot say
So what must arise?
Another conversation of sighs
Well it is complicated
Hotly debated. Can you ever really know someone?
Of all the someone's, you are the one one
That I feel so much push and pull
Because I am always two ways
What I can and cannot say
So what must arise?
Another conversation of sighs
In a parallel universe
It is all exactly as we said
And all the things that went unspoken
Leapt right out of our head
Without a hint of ambivalence
You know I want you oh so bad
Well wants and needs, follows and leads
You know it has been hot and cold
Because I am always two ways
What I can and cannot say
So what must arise?
Another conversation of sighs
Muddle On
My voice got buried in the backyard with the dogs
And now the notes all come out like they are digging toward the daylight
My voice spitting out the dirt and all the sand
Has changed but I still think you'll understand the words that I am singing
But we will all muddle on
Until the last notes are gone
And we are whispering the songs into each other's ears
My lungs tearing out the O2 from the air
exhaling through a voice box trembling in expiration
But we will all muddle on
Until the last notes are gone
And we are whispering the songs into each other's ears
I know you hear me still, I know
I know you hear me still, I know
I know you hear me still, I know, I know, I know
My throat coughing up the acid like it is fire
And everything for years feels uninspired, like music decomposing
But we will all muddle on
Until the last notes are gone
And we are whispering the songs into each other's ears
I know you hear me still, I know
I know you hear me still, I know
I know you hear me still, I know, I know
The Woods
Well the road is long, so much time to change your mind
To right turns will face you heading home
While you would be right to let yourself be this wrong
Oh the things we'd change if only we'd known
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
Well the roads all curve and all you see are trees ahead
The woods have pulled you in and hid the way
Well you would be right either way you choose to go
Trace my trail or track your prints away
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
There's no reason that you would be here
But I'm still thinking I see your face
There's no reason that you should be here
But I am still saving you a place
Well the fires lit will you come and warm your hands
We'll fade with the light if that's your desire
Well it sure is cold without your light
And it don't take much to rekindle the fire
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
I'll be deep in the woods
There's no reason that you would be here
But I still think I see your face
There's no reason that you should be here
But I am still saving you a place
There's no reason that you should be here
But I am still saving you a place
Everything that I Wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Why am I so sad?
Parentheses in the wrong order
contain the entirety of the universe
The fear feels like breathing water
Is sky falling or am I going up?
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Why am I so sad?
Last night the moon was so bright
The glow blotted out, blanked out all the stars
But the forest filled with a milky light
Ghosts of shadows scattered across the forest floor
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Why am I so sad?
Why do I do anything I do?
Why do I do anything I do?
Why do I do anything I do?
Why do I do anything I do?
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Why am I so sad?
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Oh, I'm getting everything that I wanted
Why am I so sad?
Why am I so sad?
Regular Death
Well I can't tell if this is a last gasp or a rescue breath
Is this Resurrection, or just a regular, just a regular death?
The lights are going out
The lights are going out
The lights are going out
and so am I
No one says "this is the last one" with their last breath
Is it an illusion or just a regular, just a regular death?
The lights are going out
The lights are going out
The lights are going out
and so am I
Some Stars
There are some stars you can only see from the corner of your eye
Stare dead on and they disappear into the blackness of the sky
I run to you but you run faster I think I oughta see
If I sit down will you crest to the horizon and come running back to me
There are some stars you can only see from the corner of your eye
Stare dead on and they disappear into the darkness of the sky
I run to you but you run faster I think I oughta see
If I sit down will you crest to the horizon and come running back to me
Come running back to me
Come running back to me
Noise
The first thing that you'll notice is the absence of the noise that you're accustomed to
The next thing that you'll notice is the door
Goldilocks tales put you into sleep
You had no idea that you were the bear
You'll find someone's been going through your things
and now she's sleeping in your bed
The first thing that you'll notice is the absence of the noise that you're accustomed to
The next thing that you'll notice is the door
Riding hood tales put you into sleep
You had no idea you were the wolf
You'll hide your teeth deep within your lips
Pretending to be something that you're not
The first thing that you'll notice is the absence of the noise that you're accustomed to
The next thing that you'll notice is the door
Goldilocks tales put you into sleep
You had no idea that you were the bear
Riding hood tales put you into sleep
You had no idea you were the wolf
The first thing that you'll notice is the absence of the noise that you're accustomed to
Digging
I've buried my want so deep that it is quaking
And now, now the fault lines expose all of my aching
I have been digging so long, I have been digging...
I thought I saw light from the depths of this deep pit
And I stuck my head out to read the signs of which I'm illiterate
I have been digging so long, I have been digging...
I've buried my want so deep that it is quaking
And now, now the fault lines expose all of my aching
I have been digging so long, I have been digging...
I've buried my want so deep that it is quaking

I thought I saw light from the depths of this deep pit

The Night
The night calls to you tonight
Calls out loud tonight
Calls out loud tonight
The light, oh the closest light
Are the stars at such great heights
They've travelled for millennia
Disappear into the blackness of the trees
How many days would pass before they would look for me?
Disappear into the blackness of the trees
Swallowed up into the dry and fallen leaves
The night calls out loud tonight
Calls out loud tonight
Calls out loud tonight
The night calls out loud tonight
Calls out loud tonight
Calls out loud tonight
The light, oh the closest light
Are stars at such great heights
They've travelled for millennia
Disappear into the blackness of the trees
How many days would pass before they would look for me?
Disappear into the blackness of the trees
Swallowed up into the dry and fallen leaves
Tonight, it calls out loud tonight
