shiny destination

i don't need no final motivation
to make me feel weird
to make me feel inferior
i don't need no extra indication
to make me feel sad
to make me feel interior
i don't need no grand declaration
to make me feel near
to make me feel ulterior
and all I wanna do
is sit down right beside of u
stare into the sky
pretend that we don't wanna die
i don't need no shiny destination
to make me feel safe
to make me feel superior
i don't need no baptist complication
to make me feel queer
to make me feel super queer
and all I wanna do
is sit down right beside of u
stare into the sky
pretend that we don't wanna die
all I wanna see
are eyes that might believe in me
and stare into my soul
maybe you don't wanna go
away

settle down

i'm shaking in my skin
i feel it all begin
i can't believe i get to be here with you
i'm always half asleep
and all my dreams are cheap
i can't believe I get to be here with you now
i wanna settle down with you
i can't settle down
we're in the seventies
i feel it in my knees
i can't believe i get to be here with you
this is our last night
everything black and white
i can't believe i get to be here with you now
i wanna settle down with you
i can't settle down
the roads don't end
i'll wait for you again
no matter what form you take
i'll be yours
the roads don't end
i'll wait for you again
no matter what form you take
i'll be yours
i'll be yours again

solve my problems
still i wonder
how i will begin
i will begin
new school brought on new fears
and i wonder
how i will begin
i will begin
i know we don't ever get to
jump on trampolines or skateboard
or tinker w guitars anymore

lip

i'm not getting to it here
right up to the lip
i'm here and i'm scared
it's an empty world
without you here
i'm not getting to it
right up to the lip
calm or hallow
call your shadow
in the empty world
without you here
i'm not getting to it
right up to the lip
so long sad guy

trees fall when there's no one around
their shadows pull away from the ground and the air
like they were never there
fields fall till they're under the earth
you never were aware of your worth
was it fair?
were you even there?
they want you little
brittle breaking like bread
did you hear what i said?
seeds fall
will they question it all?
excessive to the point that you call it and hide
plant a garden inside
they want you little
brittle breaking like bread
did you hear what i said?
they want you bending
the neurons ending in your head
till you're stuck in your bed

st. michael himself

clad in silver
armour bending
the sword is rending
the sword is aloft
sky blue wings
weighed down with the guilt
the saint is sinking
the saint is serene
sandaled foot on my back
the stars are aligned and wilting fast
terrible eyes staring flat
the story is broken and it is almost time
the saint is sleeping
the saint is alive
sandaled foot on my back
the stars are aligned and wilting fast
terrible eyes staring flat
the story is broken and it is almost time
it's almost time

a willow strong
06:13

i thought perhaps
that our farewell dance
would include a flash of grace
from the brief exposure
to the peril of fake
the wind blows and you know it's wrong
they have created all the gleaming boys and girls
the three of us laugh
as we stare into past
i tore you out
from the page
from the book
from the tropics of doubt
the wind blows and you know it's wrong
they have created all the gleaming boys
the wind blows and you know it's wrong
they have created all the gleaming boys and girls
i won't be silent
this town can take us or we will leave
the wind blows and you know it's wrong
they have created all the gleaming boys
the wind blows a willow strong
they have created all the gleaming boys and girls

i've been the armour

when you settle on sorrow
and sell it to your friends
when you look for tomorrow
through the wrong side of the lens
i want to stay here so long
i've been the armour
now i'm guarding no one
how we are hidden in the shadows
and locked behind the fence
when you settle on sorrow
and sell it to your friends
when you look for tomorrow
through the wrong side of the lens
so many things to be sorry for
and i'm so sorry
so many things to be sorry for
all the organs i've donated
and the keyboards that i've wasted
my metronome is inflamed
my metronome is inflamed
