culminate
all my prowess
and all my powerlessness
once in a blue,
blue moon
once in a blue moon (x2)
i've been waiting- -
my brave face curls up at its edges
like a paper plate
it hangs off my cheeks like chips on a garage door
and every gloom i ever knew
gnaws at my skin
and rips up the glue
blue.
one on top of the other (of the other)
i've been waiving my hair down
all on down
like a paper plate
like a paper plate
like a paper plate
once in a blue moon (x2)
and every gloom i ever knew
gnaws at my skin
and rips up the glue
all blue.
and then my face
underneath
like rabbits withering, like rabbits withering
beneath the blue deck
and i'm not so alone
and i'm not so alone
and i am not alone
i am the culmination of a memory

remember how we made a surprise for protey
in the trash bags on his birthday that year?
tell me everything that you remember
i think my air is getting thinner up here
when our friends die, i think that we will, too
we'll make them new and put them online
feeling like a dream is coming true
remember me and i'll remember you
and when we die, we'll make it out alive
feeling like a dream is coming true
violet little paper wings (little paper wings)
please don't fly away for nothin' you'd lose (please don't fly away)
roma, how i want you to remember (sometimes yourself again on my screen)
at the same time it's familiar, and so strange (please don't fly away)
when our friends die, i think that we will, too
we'll make them new and put them online
feeling like a dream is coming true
remember me and i'll remember you
and when we die, we'll make it out alive
feeling like a dream is coming true
i promise you can be honest
you are loved
i'll save your breakfast
you were loved more than you know
even lying on the sofa all day again
in a weird mood you slept all day after that
finally ate your breakfast
when we see someone in our dream
we just see ourselves
dreams don't mean anything
by the way, where can i buy fresh berries at night?
goodnight

moon pie
in the twilight
follow me home
follow my bones
boy eyes
dead in the fridge light
carrying on
singing neil young
dog in the yard, is it always this hard?
stay right here till the coast is clear
moon pie
apple of my eye
let's go out back
just bought a pack
i'm a horsefly
dying in mid flight
carry me out
bandy about
dog in the yard, is it always this hard?
stay right here till the coast is clear
wily dog
weirdo
you jumped the fence
and followed me home
wily dog
weirdo
you jumped the fence
and followed me home

have my back
have your way with me
i feel warm
all balled up in your hands of clay
i think we will be so happy
you taste like grape soda on the beach
half my life ago
the cabana, off veranda beach where the berm erodes
borne, like a spore
like a stick bug on a cord
i'm engine red
i'm in control
very balled up till i'm all consoled
i think we will be so happy
you taste like grape soda on the beach
(we were there
poking salty air
when the tide would sink our chairs
you got ketchup in your hair)
lay me to sleep
my old soul is a dog getting weak
and if i die before i wake
deliver me whole to the strays on the bank
full with heavy lids in evening
your wiry cricket legs buzz me to sleep
(we were there
castle in the air
in our diamond-studded chairs
you got diamonds in your hair)

Stole you a moon

i stole you a moon on the water with a bucket
i was thinking for the foyer
i knew you'd love it
i stole you a cove all eroded with rain
far from town
if you need to get away
i made you a tape of the voices of the fish
dance in the bath
feel it in your wrists
i stole you a moon on the water with a bucket
i stole you the limbs from my favorite tree
a swamp white oak
shaggy like me
i stole you the colors from the desert at dawn
where the baseboard cracked
you can paint them on
i stole you a shark all foamy from the sea
full of jokes
full of grief
i stole you a moon on the water with a bucket
you are just like me
violet paper being
violet paper being
i stole you the shape of the murmuring birds
in the evening light
above belarus
i stole you the hills, all cast in dew
and tensioned thread
from a spider's loom
when you left i slept in your clothes
i missed your breathing
upon my nose
i stole you a moon on the water with a bucket
you are just like me
violet paper being
violet paper being

it was the year i ate a candle on my birthday
i was looking for a laugh in the worst way
like a slug in the soil with a headache
i was a child in your bed through an earthquake
new year's eve '99 i had o.j.
and my father broke his leg on april fool's day
we were running through the woods
thinking nothing ever could really change things
i was a child in your bed
in the evening on our walk like we always had
with my tape recorder going in my bookbag
and then in secret in my room
a candid balloon
like a lens to the womb like you've never heard
i was a child in my head in a soundscape
it was the year i finally learned how to stay up on my bike
and i rode up the street all high and mighty
ain't it funny how our pride
can keep us alive
despite
i was a child in your bed through an earthquake
i didn't know
i didn't know
i didn't know, no no no no

while the hall still smells like the food that we were cooking
i wonder if the wood grain would pull the scent in
to stay like some companion
some low-key musty cinnamon
only come, only go
only come, only go
only come, only go
burn away on the coil
burn away
bitter taste
on the coil
i was unbraced for your leaving that was coming
like a split cell, like a cancer in this city
you and i were like brothers when we were younger
when you warmed my gut like the sweetness of home cooking
sweetness in the hall
falls, falls away
the floorboards cannot curl up
just to hold some old aroma
so we open all the windows
and we close ourselves to some things
only come, only go
life is long, don't you know?
are you a ghost?
only come, only go
come back, come home
or go
god damn i'd hug you forever
old friend

heated up a frozen pita
soft, soft, soft, soft
thought you'd eat before we'd meet up
lies, lies, lies, lies
what did i tell you about that?
everyone else is a vampire bat.
what did i do to turn your eyes
to passerine birds on a droopy wire?
you reach out and claw the air
nothing's ever there for long, ok?
loosen up just a little
sweetie
baby
the wolves at night
make you crazy
we'll head back maybe next summer
soft, soft, in the car
with big ideas and tides of hunger
lies, lies, buzzy flies
what did i tell you about that?
everyone else is a vampire bat.
what did i do to turn your eyes
to passerine birds on a droopy wire?
you pad around the neighborhood
squirr a xan from your reverend, ok?
loosen up just a little
sweetie
baby
the wolves at night
make you crazy
eat me all down to my marrow.
call me sparrow.

i don't think i'll ever write a love song to ohio
you can be naked with long hair and still hide
and i love that twee shit but i'm mostly a volcano
never gonna write a love song to ohio
i don't think i'll ever write a love song to ohio
you can be naked with long hair and still hide
and i love that twee shit but i'm mostly a volcano
never gonna write a love song to ohio
the first song i ever heard when i was some enchanted kid
it was penny lane on nickelodeon no less
so i don't think i'll ever write my own song to ohio
don't think i ever will
my god
my eyes are tired, ohio
i don't think i ever will
