You raise the torch The filaments are dark tonight And we explore The ruins I have rarefied You say just follow me But I already do You say don't be afraid It's ok I got you In the moon you hold the beam I mean You're shining like a champion Bedroom eyes Glimmer and the doggie stirs There's no denial You're the brightest in the universe All the other creatures Are gonna' scamper to the woods But here we gotta' lamp And a love Oh it's good In the moon... You're a champion

If you see my meekness mishandling a bird If you see my quietness mishandling a bird Show my hand Vying spray At the edge Release it Tell my heart Tell my face At the edge Release it If you see my kindness suffocates a bird If you see my headdress suffocates a bird Show my hand Blushing sky At the edge Release it Tell it go Tell it now At the edge Release it If you see my meekness If you see my quietness If you see my kindness Then you'll see my headdress At that volume Low or ocean Hear the wave

You have a darkness I can't see I bet it's gorgeous But you keep it from me That's ok You're ok I have a lantern And I wave it around I'm looking for Saturn But you can take it underground Whenever you want If you want I hear what you never say I dance in the dead airwaves How close to the ghost do you get When you fire away? I'll watch the walls For a ricochet You don't stumble And you don't ask When I break a bottle You just walk around the glass A change of mind Changes time I'll wear YELLOW And bang a drum Glad allegro So you can say Oh There's The Sun Look outside Come outside

Peace 04:24
lyrics

A thing that we do when the fire goes out We shine a wider eye A night isn't long And we can't see the clouds We don't even try A thing that we say when the fire goes out We call a shield a rose A whisper resounds Like a mountain drowning If you sit real close And speak real slow When the icons all wash up Or lightning won't strike There's a tower built for watching Northern lights When the flags all fray and tear No war waves kites There's a gust and the hum is holding Northern lights

What a diamond ill I won't crash tonight I won't boom but the brass sure will A concert in the electric heights I'm the captain of this flight What a silken woe I'm a builder of peaks I'm a mason of sky tableaux The Himalayas took me weeks Everest was sheer technique If I jump the shark I'm just in the bath Surfing and laughing Like... Hahahaha

Breeze 05:05
lyrics

Praised be the rested and the cool-hand swain A feather in his wavy hair A prize for the calmer and the kinder Jane A spot on the grass in the air Bet you wish you had another chance Bet you feel the heat Bet you'd ask that bonnie lad to dance Bet you scatter sleet I just gotta' get you in my getaway car A ticket to the reedy breeze I just gotta' make a case for gazing at the stars Count them or name them or sleep Come on now you got another chance Come on now let's ride Come on now you know you know this dance Come on kick the tide Leave all those behind, the barkers and the mobs Rivet all the ranks with a sigh Black and white is watertight but goldenrod Is growing in a garden nearby Lay it down, the scripture and the sword Lay it on a pile Lay it down the bullhorn pre-record Cadillac awhile

Tilt 02:59
lyrics
buy track
All signs are a warning kind Take a minute to adjust to the light A tipping point The tipping points To the brink of the first big snow You wanna' run but your legs just float You're a passenger With passengers They never made a fool out of you And the sailors in their dress whites tried But the old arcade in your tattoo Was a good night out And a place to hide You could have had a plan Strong man There's a coin in the drain to mint A relic from the origin It was a time of peace It was time for peace But the holidays were a little too strange And all the ways it's a crying shame The joy just broke When the joy went broke You never made a good case for grace A rotgut bark in dawn dark rooms And the scars appeared On your pale thin face Too late Or too soon You never saw Japan Strong man

Selves 02:14
lyrics

This old man reminded me of myself Opined the irony of drinking to health We drank to the angels that came to watch us drown Thankful if angels are even standing around And the bar was dead But we weren't dead yet We were on our own way If myself reminded the old man of his It never came up but our differences did He said, "Son, you're in line to save a little love Don't do what I did I shot down the dove" And we had one more Then I had one more We're on our own way

Late 02:38

Way to crack the lid, sib A ray on a bender Nothing left to say, said Yawning zen slur A promise I made A sighing I dialed too late It's late Awhile at the window I'm a spy for strangers Vinyl tango And a vice entangled It's us and them A blessing I noticed too late It's late You had the fairer face You had the luck of love You copied from my bones You called a blister love Tough love I remember asking Are you careful? Now I'm asking Are you there? A bloodshot prayer But stones never bleed this late It's so late
