Loose Tooth

out of sight i reach for high shelves
i’m not alone with myself
dumbstruck in morning sunlight
bleached back to youth and health
promise me you’ll wake me when
i’m missing the dance again
sourmouthing each and every
person i’ve ever been
vanishing afternoons
a year like a loose tooth
wake early, do the laundry
as if that’s any use
dead tired but well provisioned
we leave the windows down
and let the valley take us
straight to the heart of town
all at once, with screwed-up courage
i knocked and walked away
all this time it’s like the world’s been
waiting on a better version
we’re on time, we’ll be fine
i’ve heard it over and over
keep searching our shadows
i’ve drifted into another
let go of all thoughts now
there’s nothing here
that you need to save
cast off what most soothes you
and watch it sink underneath the waves
not ever cast aside every song a b-side
stop searching far and wide
every song is a b-side
don't act so mystified every song a b-side
you should be satisfied
every song is a b-side
another failure with the folks
when i'm tongue tied i provoke
tripped up by stupid jokes
ramming fingers in the spokes
why can't my thoughts hold the shape
they have when they're inside my brain?
the edges melt and don't maintain
and pile on the ground like ticker tape
leave me hashing on my knees
for the scrap that i need
to explain what i mean
i need you to know what i mean
speak to me become a voice
at least pretend you’re here by choice

Salty

maybe you'll like me
now that i'm not proud,
i know i'm shit
and i'm over it
stuck to my hometown
like gum on the soles
of the shoes i've got
white and brown like the
snowbanks on my block
stained in salt and chalk
unchained but too weak to walk
and drained from a month spent
on electric heat and idle talk
and rent
okay, all right, i'll give way
maybe you'll hate me
now that I won't be pushed
around but still stammer and slow
and after all: giving in is all i know
calm right down
it's not going wrong
not a blame in sight

Heads Up
03:23
|
|||
you can wear me out
walk me through the world again
have i yet fallen off?
dreamed into doubt
drifted from my street again
over the darkened lawn
drain each new day
of tired miles and bright grays
place back in store
blank hours once more
low in the west
done with us entirely
could never be enough
heads up return
you've got a lot to learn
get up get burned
this is how you fake concern
oh ike please let me sleep tonight
better than being left dead
got time on your hands
and a price on your head
