I sit around by the lake
Counting ducks – 1 and then 8
Hundred – they start to circulate
They whip that shit up into a hurricane
If it is beautiful it really is
I am a shitlord – no
I am a lord of hell– yes
In this life we don’t have much time
When I think of what I’ve got I start losing my mind
If it is beautiful it really is
I look at some stars in the middle of the day
At night I plug a straw into my brain
I drink a smoothie of my thoughts
I am an ignorance holocaust
If it is beautiful it really is
(if it’s not then what are you living for?)
(beauty is not what it’s for)

Looking 4 U
03:36
|

When I went looking 4 u
In the cosmetics section of Kroger
I found something to hold to
Beneath the lights and a mirror
Looking to make your skin clearer
To wonder if I could see through you
To see myself in your molecules
If you could understand that you are understood
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself)
I am a man
No I’m a human
You sent me off
To find some cumin
So we could make stew
So we could roast some chickpeas
There are so many things that we could make
If you could understand that you are understood
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself)
If I could understand that I am understood too
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for everyone else)
I wouldn’t have to do all the silly things that I do
Like putting these French fries in my nostrils
Like they’re my antennas and I’m looking 4 u
Looking for a signal
Looking for something better to do
Than to live my life without you

My Name is Dust
05:18

Turn off your phone for the way that you’re feeling
Skip all the stones you’ve collected on weekends
And left in the glove box of your car
Step into the river it’s cooler in there
You can wash all the fictions right out of your hair
Let them color the water and sand
And a waterfall crushes you
And a rainbow cuts through you
And an optional feature that you knew
Would always be useful goes unused
You could wring the water out onto your feet
And feel the cool drips in the thick August heat
Let the dead leaves stick to your soles
Find your phone up the shore and it’s battery worn
Drive around for hours to get home
Let your headlights dissolve in the light of the morning
Somewhere in the world someone new is named
After someone who recently died
Every moment takes another moment to adjust
To the moment that’s just arrived
My name is dust

I Did Not Think
09:33
|

I did not think
No, I did not think
So I did not speak
And you did not hear
I could’ve told you
That the end was near
But I did not think
So there was no end
And that’s such a good thing
Yeah, that’s such a good thing
Under the phone lines
And facing the kudzu hill
What could I have
What could I have possibly thought
And where would we be
If my light had lit up
This song expresses faith
That if my light had lit up
It would’ve shown me sooner
That it’s ok to settle for something better than yourself
And now we’ve settled
And it’s like we’re real
Not like those other sculptures
Left just to exist
But we will not exist
We will fill the world
We will eat the world
We will kill the world with the way we love
Fuck everything that isn’t real
Fuck the gods that tell you it’s ok
It’s not ok, we’re all fucking real
And we’re gonna shit our love into your heart
When I think
I think that I have love
And when I love
It allows me to think
And when I think with love
It allows me to feel
Though it’s uncomfortable
My comfort can fuck its self
(I am a stupid fucking asshole)
I love my wife
I love the person inside my body
I love the person who would hurt my body
I love the person who would hurt another body
And I especially love the person inside the hurt body
What I love of the hurter is that they have been hurt too
I love the hurt
I love the fucking shit we feel
I love the terrible songs about shit
If I don’t feel these things
Then I become unreal
And I just want to be real
Within the shit
This is a love song
It started as a song for my wife
And then it was about everyone else
This is a love song
This is a love song
A baby is born
Or maybe it’’s not born
Maybe it grows up so fast
That it becomes a tower

Kiss It All Goodbye
03:41
|

I’ve grown so old since yesterday
Cuz I’ve been drinking to my fill
And when I’m done with that
I start sippin’ on the quil
I dreamed eyes awake a terrible sore
Had kissed me yesterday and furthermore
And it’s not that I walk through the shadows
But the valley’s real and by its nature shades
I really am the waterfall that I try to see in the world
I am the nerve that I spread across the lawn
I am the cloud that rains the ground and drinks it back again
When I awoke I had lodged my self into the same old yawn
O people help me remember to give my love
In these moments all so bright and brief
And the dull waiting and emptying and refilling
Well we can kiss it all goodbye
We can kiss it all again
We can kiss it where it hurts
We can wait upon the wind
You really are the wonderful that they talk about in songs
But you’re also the reason that it ends
I am also the reason that it ends
We are also the reason that it ends
We are all so the reason that it ends

Toll of the Inferno
03:40
|
|||
Burning tables in the back yard
Ash floating like your dumb bard
Fresh kids in the dead leaves
Petting dogs and the dogs' fleas
Eye crust when I wake up
Got meds so I take some
I'll depend on my thinking
to be better in the next life
In the fur
Inferno
It tolls
It rolls
In love with the feeling
That occurs out of nowhere
Send it back to the precinct
Let it never see light or air
Baby dude in the back seat
Doesn't know how the world goes
I hope he never has to stop and peek
Over the rim of the inferno
Grove, for sure
The inferno
it tolls
So you must roll
..you must know..
It's easy to be
in the shape of like you or me
it's dumbing to see
exactly what you want them to see
just be kind

my life began like any other life
upside down
and dropping like a knife
my love began like any other love
with the need to laugh
with the need to laugh
and then laughing shook
my insides loose
i was just a slosh
sloshing around
and if i go downtown
or into the woods
or completely disappear
then what of my love
it's almost like my body
will break
it's almost like my mind
will break
it's almost like my heart
yeah my heart
and so i know
whatever it is i know
my life will end like a waterfall
continuing to end and continuing to end...
