ALL THAT WE CAN SEE set carve sweet gone send her shock hours breathe fast live long stand off this one sweet sweet pure whole quaint fierce rebuild hope hope hope hope to keep her oh my can she conceive of this break without breaking underneath a willow fading squirrels with human habits forming every fruit you taste you bite and leave peels give me golden give me holy keys into this full but broken home with brothers weeping decide decide believe the lines running down her neck running down her neck are the age you gave her climb into the speakers climb the staircase on all fours oh you know how to be loved unequivocally oh my can she conceive of this break without breaking dina, Dina passing through me two years at a time with each blink all that I can see is what you gave to me lay the blanket over hard ground where it's quiet, out of reach from all that can deceive, you from loving me ... all that we can see exists in memory

Tourniquet 03:41
TOURNIQUET tourniquet, tourniquet pressure's gonna save the wound is right above each cheek beneath the brow they're made to look and look the same wrap me up, wrap me tight I think I've bled too much tonight this wound has seen too much tonight take this light away hey man hold your fire, hold your fire I know you're sick of it, but we're all tired hey man hold your fire, hold your fire I'll wait for your turn, you wait for mine

NOVEMBER THROUGH JUNE my best day came postcard date, 1989 it said "this is what you missed, this is what you missed" and the picture was a hole that showed my hand They separate us in these rooms suffocate the Deep, eat the self-consumed that's just everybody else this is for myself, this is not for you. they keep you inside, keep you inside fuck you, then it's anything you want. put you in your place, put you in your place prorate understanding till due time

SPY IN THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES will you take? ’cause you're making us strong selfish love, ’cause there is no other and we'll sweep, off the floors into arms bathwater of the last twenty years with the Jewels floating up somewhere along the lines turned to dots the children they came and redrew it all wrong face in the hand, man in the black staring at skin he'll never get back and we'll row through the fields through the farms watching out for the fruits below us funny thing, to think we're looking out for the ones that will only hurt us ... feel your way on out of here feel your way back in take your mind, it's not wanted here we decide what we cherish and what we forget we leave on the other end

ANY OTHER GOD I opened my eyes to see swinging heads, faceless smiles trying to hang on to the space that floats them out They sang to me in a fugue a thousand tongues with the same word It could have come from anyone or never come at all Like any other god a job discrete to tune the beast and watch what will become of you and me as we turn the earth with love I fell in love this one time it was beautiful we, we were young and so quietly walking along bathed in the filth and the warmth ours would not be let down something that could not be touched, existed when we did not Like any other god a job discrete to tune the beast and watch what will become of you and me as we turn the earth with love Pale, pale and strong, strung across no cross no symbol of importance just as pretty, as petty as any other god ...

DANCE FOR HOURS (or Pesos are not Dollars) Claudia, it's your turn to step the graceful ones have all gone to bed keep keep keep your heels off floors just dance for hours and cut off your head This one will last for a while, we'll take you as you were, take you as you were Claudia and her countrymen who feel the guilt all three years ahead never cared for anyone just dance for hours and cut off their heads singing "this love is over when you're older" but This one will last for a while we'll take you as you were, take you as you were we're In Most Fortunate times just dance for hours and cut off your head

Out Of Orbit 06:52
OUT OF ORBIT falling through a fake escape through holes that hold small questions of the gum-ball spheres we sit and wait and watch the galaxy teeth sink in you're melting into a beautiful form staring past the desire to understand in through the eyes of familiar ghosts and your children burn to a crisp far far into the still distance a city run by a ghost with fingernails collecting face inside the tips of her hands writing history as a dark silt brown these feathers fell as bombs we're slowly going down you feel the fire that was burning out and we took a falling out of orbit another counted sign neon neglected shine you dim the world to see the light as we took a falling out of orbit this is all my fault dragging conscious non-willing patients a certain kind of land-fall the words will really hit in I've gone to undo all buttons holding heart and holding head calling out all pockets we need a replacement so bless these words and the heat they live by hold your own breath while you cover their eyes and breathe out poison I know I know it's rhetoric tired but all the unconcerned need a melody to smoothe and average numb and nullify

CONTORTIONIST contortionist, contortionist you twist so well and make me want to scream for you this sympathy, this sympathy or empathy is all that I can bend into Ooo and Ahh I love it how you fold and fly and make us scream Ooo and how I'd love to try but im not good at anything dancing on your fingertips the things I'd never dare to do I would give these hands a chance but they would rather clap for you peel and burn, peel and burn these taciturn schemes manipulate and scrape our knees take a turn, take a turn we never learn how your metamorphosis deceives falling for the looking glass fallacy envious of what we're never meant to be taken by the talents of another one's reality blistering beneath the skin when shoes don't fit the feet rubics cube, undo the trouble that you left for us to stumble over and upon the colors that were once in fancy order rubics cube undo the trouble that you left for us to stumble over and upon your highness, we will put you back in order I've been fooled again and again and again Contortionist is getting under my skin
