prayer for the open sea

hell in on hand
heaven in the other
lacing up my fingers so i can
smash em all together
i've been desperate as a dilute
prayer for the open sea
filled up my head again
watch me i'm a spill
with an index like a pharmacist
and a stomach chock full of pills
hell i've been desperate as a dilute
prayer for the open sea

apple in the sun

sometimes i feel like an apple in the sun
like someone took a bite
and left me out to run
with the spoils of tomorrow like an apple in the sun
might be rotten on the outside
but with a knife you'll find
i'm sweet as sugar honey baby smile on my mind
apple in the sun
sometimes i feel like i'm bitting down on death's
hand when it's reaching down in my throat for breath
feel like i'm living on borrowed time
believe you me brother i've been dancing on that line
might be rotten on the outside
but with a knife you'll find
i'm sweet as sugar honey baby ripe clementine
apple in the sun

where's papa going with axe
fern looked up from a plate of flapjacks
now sweetheart please don't you cry
this runt pig head soon to fly
from the carton
the spider
the silk
we all start off with a tall glass of milk
till the hands on the clock spin like whips
pick up daggers and carve us so strict
follow alice
think like fern
write your own book now is your turn
take this hammer
loose the walls
paint the celling and watch the stars fall

kick to the head

hole in the boat
made it myself
sat down on santa's lap
and i stabbed him in the chest
go ahead push it on me
nothing more i need than a
kick
to
the
head
foot in the door
close it myself
so you can take your sympathies
and just place them on the shelf
go ahead push it on me
nothing more i need than a
kick
to
the
head

not to change the girl
04:30
|
|||
|
feel lie a cars trying to park on my chest
can't line up and i can't rest
i've been down before
this morning lay awake from a dream
fifteen minutes later i can't recall a scene
wrote down you where happy
believe i was there
i'm not trying to change the world
kind of like it all fucked up
and i'm not trying to change this girl
kind of picked her for herself
i know how i acted
and i know what i said
especially hate the part where i wake up alone in my bed
i've been down before
i listen for your footsteps
when i stand at the door
four little canine on a hardwood floor
i've been down before
i'm not trying to change the world
kind of like it all fucked up
and i'm not trying to change this girl
kind of picked her for herself

relax

the old man and the fall down building
standing on the front door
praying to the celling
birds having babies on the neighbors porch
chew em up spit pass the torch
dealings on the street lack skill or a crime
hide the evidence
slight of hand
when it's cold outside you will catch your death
riding on a unicycle stealing your breath
righteous alcoholics parking forty five degrees
read the signs only sunday please
dealings on the street lack skill or a plan
hide the evidence
slight of hand
people always been lazy
people always been dumb
like a goddamn epidemic trying to spoil all my fun
speeding to the stoplight
nowhere else to go
it's like we don't learn from patience anymore
i want more
well it rained all day
when the sun came out
put a smile on my face
and a need to shout
relax

skipping rock

this skipping rock
washed up on the beach
reminds me how i could loose it all
soon returning far out of reach
quickly as i could raise and draw
imagine how long it took to get here
or how accomplished it would feel
till little old me comes stumbling along
looking for a rock to skip on
i'm a skipping stone
i left it somewhere in the backseat of my mind
unbuckled with my innocence
those youthful days of mine
that riverbed
that perfect stone
looking for a rock to skip on
i'm a skipping stone

umbrella song
02:15
|

|
i know you think it's gonna rain all day
i can see the forecast on your face
standing at the window
praying that the glass would break
you bring the rain
see it rolling down your face
last night i packed an a umbrella so
gotta worry about no rain
live is far to short i've heard in the end
all i want from this is one good friend
i know it's all so upside down
my muscles weak to tired to wear a frown
last night i packed an umbrella so
gotta worry about no rain

ash wednesday
03:14
|

|
woke up in the middle of the night
saw the flame glow the flicker of it's light
felt the warmth crawl up my leg
the end of those carefree days
just as well
left my bed as it sank into flames
the poor fish who now run with the rain
called my dog and the family the same
house is burning and i am to blame
just as well
the piano fell through the floor
fire shot out of windows and doors
say my family out in the streets
not a one who had shoes on their feet
and i knew
gathering ashes to paint on our face
i will take it away
i will take it away
