A seagull landing
A swingset squealing
A carousel they ripped out for safety
A little structure
Where your dad played a concert
Everything is a wedding space
See – see what you mean to me?
A seagull landing
Ships returning
The fleet is looming far away
We're due for a comet
It's fast approaching
A fiery union is on the way
See – see what you mean to me?
A seagull landing
A solid ending
An image repeating in my brain

10 Story Mall

Waiting in line; it feels like forever
As much as I'm fine with inclement weather
I don't know if I'll get in, even though I'm in all black
I swear these bouncers have a line under my mask and into the value
That I objectively add (or don't)
Sit in the airport
A sprawling Atlanta
In a Mexican restaurant
We're calling "auténtica"
And I like the freedom in this place you might write off
As a kind of limbo to escape at any cost
I can be me while everyone is dead asleep
Lost in a mall 10 stories high
Tentacle skewers, knock-off blockbusters
The sheer lack of reason to try to understand
The creature we're inside

Me and My Ego

Me and my ego
Sitting on the swings
3 blocks from my home
Way too late to be
Chipping rubber hugging at our knees
Me and my ego
On neutral turf
Somewhere safe to negotiate terms
We used to come here with Smirnoff Ice and freestyle
You love someone and then you change
It’s funny, my ego
Looks a lot like you
Packing the van up
Like a Subaru photo shoot
Much as I appreciate what he's done to help me through
It doesn’t serve me to be you
You love someone and then you change

Reflection
04:19

I imagine a certain breed of visionary I'm meant to be
There are serious stakes; if I can't hold that face, I might just be a waste of life
He's a poet, a natural dude, somehow in tune with modern living
A baker, a single dad, with his own podcast on how to rise
Reflection - isn't that a sponsored projection?
Sitting in the bathtub, a cool glass of something potent
The voice of someone famous
Act like I'm not trying
Make the illusion shine
I won't act like I'm on my shit
I rather act like shit don't exist
And then I'm mad when I have to clean the bathroom and get out of my head
And I haven't done a thing for myself apart from making half a list
Reflection - isn't that a sponsored projection?
Sitting in the bathtub, a cool glass of something potent
The voice of someone famous
Someone made for this
Someone, not us

I don't know who to be
Float in a trance through the machines
Watch you bet from my seat
I keep thinking I'm only gonna do it from a distance
But I’m already losing
I saw this cute dealer
I think she's a survivor
At least that's how they animate her
By the way, why?
Is this penny slot's design
Literal jesus
Being above it doesn't earn you credit
When the bar is set for you to trip on it
What am I missing?
There must be something in it
Leaning in to your own destruction

On the Way Back to Me
02:52
|
|||
|
Picking up the harvest
Of a lasting presence
Arriving as you're leaving
On the way back to me
Playing ball with Emily
Guide her hands through the swing
I’m a father suddenly
On the way back to me
On the way back to me
On the way back to me
Your eyes house a depth I’ve never seen
On the way back to me

Sword in the Stone
04:10
|
|||
|
You can do it on the first try
Or maybe even every time
I can never seem to bowl a strike
Without struggling to understand why
Show me something from the vault
Show me something from your eyeballs
What's it like inside a space
Meaning doesn't penetrate?
The sword in the stone is silent
The sword in the stone isn’t obvious
The sword in the stone just won’t make sense
You wanted a hyper action scene
You got a documentary
Told the actor to be natural please
But natural's insecurity
The actor said, "I'll be different"
Then bounced around in the detergent
Said, "Let me try again, with style"
I think he likes the laundry cycle
The sword in the stone is silent
The sword in the stone isn’t obvious
The sword in the stone just won’t make sense
The sword in the stone is silent
The sword in the stone isn’t obvious
The sword in the stone just won’t make sense
Won’t make sense
Just don't make sense

Fool Me
04:23
|

|
Melting in a conference room under the LEDS
You with a row of tissue scraps rolled like cannoli
I’d like to watch you go all night long
Fool me, fool me into thinking
I’m the one who's helping
I can do no wrong
When you leave I become the drone set to destroy your story.
Sit at my desk with a surging mound of fruit snacks until 10pm.
I’d like to see what you do on a Friday night
Fool me, fool me into seeing
A bold line between us
Keeping me from harm
Fool me, fool me into believing
Following my feelings
Always leads me right

Saying no opens a vacuum
Like being thrown out of a plane
Tumbling down with my jowls out
As I reach out for spinning debris
Dodging infinite wreckage strewn
Fighting gravity – what's the use?
If we're gonna die anyway
Something’s wrong
Something’s wrong with me
I can’t seem to face reality
Even when it's right in front of me

How to Sit
04:33
|
|||
|
I made something of me by thinking only of my own
I made something ugly by spending all my time at home
When I said I was nothing I didn't think that would stick
When I saw I was hurting I didn't move an inch
When I thought I was burning I didn't know how to sit
And when I said I deserved it, well that was full of shit
I need something different 'cause I keep thinking the same way
I need something obvious for my fuckin' arrogant malaise
When I said I was stupid I knew it would hurt
And when I said I was sorry I knew exactly what that's worth
When I thought I was gaining I was terribly mistaken
Though I think I am learning sometimes I'm not so sure
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

The grace you use just to move up the stone,
it's more than a problem
to solve, a cage to scream and chew your way out
All the way in the ravine
I know you weren't empty
You never will be
Even without what you own
Even if your parlor baritone
is never played over miles of Real Estate
Even if you drift from place e'er to place
I will always think of you as my elder, mate
I will always entertain
When you ask me to stay
Seated, motionless I'll always be
When you tell your stories
Grace is just spice in the air
I hold my tongue out
And let it soak into my skin
