Peach

"you're perfect
you're a burden
i can't be myself with you, but i want to"
"i love you
but i don't want you
i can't be myself with you, but i want to"
i'm just a peach with a pit in my stomach
i can't be myself with you to
throw me out when i'm decaying
just because i needed you
"you're fine
please get out of here
because i can't be myself with you, but i want to"
i'm just a peach with a pit in my stomach
trying to be myself with you to
throw me out when you don't want me
even though i'm not ruined
the lies you tell to keep me calm aren't helping
so just tell me the truth

Boy Who Loved Anne
03:36
|

there was a boy who loved anne
he sang for her, he sang
she floated above his first verse
writing her thoughts in the past of a parallel universe
there was a boy who loved anne
he sang he sang he sang
of fire of death and of love
he hoped she might hear him from her treehouse up above
there was a boy who loved anne
he cried for her, he danced
for joy, sorrow and freedom
as she tapped softly on his heart's drum
the boy who loved anne
he grew into a man
but anne she remained a girl
it's beautiful to be in love
and it's beautiful to be alone
he didn't know which to prefer
as he left a flower on the gravestone

Buddha Bear
05:43
|
|||
i walk alone on an old dirt road
as the dust clouds rise around my feet
i've been told by the not so bold
that i will never find what i seek
i happen upon a house withdrawn
from the road that i've been traveling
i waltz across the lawn like a white tailed fawn
not aware where it's going or where it's been
but i cast away the fear of not knowing
my feet guide me slowly in
once inside, i close my eyes
my senses met with familiarity
opened my eyes and to my surprise
a forest had grown around me
through the misty air floated a big brown bear
reaching down to take me off my feet
i screamed but no one could hear me
but the creatures in their trees
i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind
when words escape from the place they reside
the bear asked me "so, what do you need to know?"
i asked him "am i enough?"
in a low voice he sings "the mind is everything,
what you think you will become"
and he laid me on a bed of flowers
and i drifted off to wake
i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind
when words escape from the place they reside
i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind
when thoughts escape from the place they reside

Youghiogheny River
04:17
|
|||
youghiogheny river, you carried me far
tumbled across the white wash, my eyes seeing stars
youghiogheny river, my senses collide
instant synesthesia of a horrifying ride
wash away my heart
sunken from the start
the stones they know no comfort
the cold it knows no soul
the waves they no no ceasing
now the water takes its hold
youghiogheny river, you've awakened me
to the harsh of winter, deep inside of me
wash away my heart
sunken from the start
the stones they know no comfort
the cold it knows no soul
the waves they no no ceasing
as the water takes its hold
when i reached the bank i held for dear life
thought that i might see inside
the remnants of my heart
sunken from the start
the stones they know my body
the cold it knows my soul
the waves they came without ceasing
now the water takes its hold

What Am I To Do
04:01
|
|||
what am i to do
when nothing stays the same after a day or two
the water roars around the bend
the river rushes and the current never ends
if i could look through time
i wouldn't think about when you aren't mine
but living in the fourth dimension
restricts my view to a line
the sun sets on the peak
the trains crawl down their tracks numb to pain and grief
the trees replace their leaves
the water dries up but no one seems to see
if i could look through time
i wouldn't think about when you aren't mine
but living in the fourth dimension
restricts my view to a line
what am i to do
when nothing stays the same after a day or two
what am i to do

Sleepy Song
03:54
|
|||
i can't find you
although i want to
maybe i should sleep
what would i do
if i didn't have you
to count all my scars
kiss in your car
feel all my pain
sing in the rain
my feet are turning back
wet eyes rubbed black
maybe i should sleep
what would i do
if i didn't have you
to tear us apart
try again restart
sleep in your bed
dizzy in my head

Sleeping Alone
02:30
|
|||
teach me all you know
because someday soon you'll leave
when you find your home
i still won't like to sleep
alone
i'll teach you all i know
because someday soon i'll leave
when you sit at home
i will be asleep
alone
we'll teach each other all we know
because someday soon we'll leave
alone

Wringer

climbing the hill to find you
peacocks green and blue
the bull is chasing me
ride it so it can't hurt me
crossing the fields to find you
tall grasses wandered through
overalls yellow, shirts read
can't strangle her to death
