winter came quick for us
found a warmer dusk
had to pack it up
dithered,
i need you to trust
there's a light to touch
you can watch me jump
winds turn and i turn to bitter rust
is it meant for us;
what we don't discuss?
skin burns circular
the surface of the sun
what it might become, is it just a hunch
and you'll make
what a living takes
til the ratio rolls off of one to one
and the ache
that you couldn't meditate away
siphons off the last of healthy blood
your thumb
on which you start to count
feels more like a zero every time
as you sum
up from what never was
supposed to come together in your mind
(jamie)
i was all summer
i was hangin on while i was getting down
i couldn't see a way over
crouchin down up on the edge of my mind
but i can see the sun closer
swear i struck eyes with the cold and a vengeance
it could rake your focus right off of it's hinges can't see where i'm goin
gotta worry bout the outside
and you'll make
what a living takes
til the ratio rolls off of one to one
and the ache
that you couldn't meditate away
siphons off the last of healthy blood
your thumb
on which you start to count
feels more like a zero every time
as you sum
up from what never was
supposed to come together in your mind

'fore come the weather man
let's paint it up
dark as we ever have
as wicked does
house on the corner round
no playing dumb
no chance of hiding out
ain't no backyard run
caught round a real hen with your feather up
surprise
you used her up
sought out deliverance in the words of
to find the door stuck
and i find
this leaned on love
makes me stand up
afloat
in a grave yard slough
you dry my bones and wake me up
bet on a wickerman
you set it up
you think you got it down
you fuck it up
lost on a letterman
had to let it rush
hold on to feelings
and it ain't enough
i find
i've leaned on luck
and i beg to give it up
afloat in the graveyard slough
you dry out my bones and wake me up

no, I didn't keep it under like I should
no, I didn't look alive it seems
i've been wandering down in these caves
for what feels like one thousand days
and I didn't wanna give it up
but I don't know if I've ever felt so lost
and somehow still an empty page
and my demons still know me by name
and I'm wondering just how far down it goes
when the fire finally catches my clothes
let it go, let it go
let it go, let it go
and I'm wondering just how far down it goes
and again so sentimental I got
from my severance from God I wasn't sure of commitment
but now I'm burning for all my sins
yeah I'm burning for all my sins
burning, burning, burning
and I'm wondering just how far down it goes
when the fire finally catches my clothes
let it go, let it go
let it go, let it go
and I'm wondering just how far down it goes
and I'm wondering just how far down it goes
let it go, let it go
let it go, let it go
go, go, go
go, go, go

we marked with our names and compasses the spots that we couldn't harness then
we must've had other things to do
the gorge wept the rain of yesterday
sticks piled all across the way
we learned how to change the things we could
the craw dad a caddisfly to bake
the sun stole the vitals out the cage
i lounged so long in that sated daze
the match struck, the stink of phosphorous and dad opened up the box for us
the best meal in week, in months, in years
well he's about off the oxygen and we're al going to see him but we still cross our fingers and our toes
the light becalmed every nightly shake
the sweat and salt soakin in the sheets
i thought of damn near everything for you
the wind struck the back side of the gate
skull hanging off the antler breaks
they must've had other plans for you
and i noticed as an orbweaver trapped a dandelion seed
you too hold on to things that you may not need

ever since I heard the howlin' wind
i didn't need to go where a bible went
then you know your gifts seemed heaven sent
lead me to a choler, dad, that's the thing
i don't know how you house the sin
but you're free now
i was never sure how much of you I could let in
are you free now
eon't you settle down baby here your love has been
heavenly father
it's definitely lava
won't you carry other names?
heard about a day where it dropped the know
to go another day as we learn to close
'cause I'm a known coward in a coward wind
but you're free now
you turn around now and you count to 10
to see you go now
well I know now honey that I can't pretend
heavenly father
is whose brought to his autumn
and love is left in end
i just been up here for god damn years
can you see now?
filling up hulls with god damn fears
i am free now
i know about it darlin', I've been standin' here
heavenly father
is all that he offers
a safety in the end
