You Are Molecular
You’re settling in again
Watching the way the world spins
Balanced up in the tree tops
Focused as a cyclops
You’re turning it on and off and on again
It feels like pretend
Nothing ever resonates
Since you were displaced
Call me up tonight I’ve been a regular
It’s so insidious you are molecular
Crawling around in my bones
You’re walking a crooked line
Fractured undefined
Blotting out history
Paving over catastrophes
You’re turning it up and down
And up and down again
Leaving a swath behind
Knotted intertwined
Call me up tonight I’ve been a regular
It’s so insidious you are molecular
Crawling around in my bones
Do you ever see us from on high
As you’re balancing stars that won’t align
Will you let yourself plummet like an angel
Will you fall to me or hover there and dangle

Drifting Backwards
It feels familiar and so natural
This drifting backwards I suppose
I fall asleep in the parking lot
The smell of horses in my nose
Somehow it seems I never left here
And nothing ever was revealed
I wake before the sun’s been realized
A flashlight knocking at my windshield
I explain officer I work here
Well kid you need to disappear
I fill my bucket from the spigot
I clean the horses till they shine
The jockeys smoking in the bullpen
Feels like I’m stepping back in time
I miss the sound of cars collapsing
The beeping call of backing trucks
The way the snow concealed everything
New England air felt warm enough
Tonight I’ll clean out all the stables
I’ll do my best to turn the tables
It’s been a week here in Georgia
And I’ve been dry as California
I can’t believe I left Vermont
Now I’m in the world you haunt
Now I’m in the world you haunt

The Fog of Distance
I know I barely satisfy you
But I can bring it if I want to
Lately I’ve been feeling lazy
Or maybe I am just afraid
There was hinting in your letter
Tucked inside my favorite sweater
Hid away inside my suitcase
It’s always hard to be away
You said the distance makes it different
Are you’re starting to resent it
Lately you’ve been looking gaunt
Are you deciding what you want
I’m pretty sure we could get back there
Though I know you’re always scared
You never like to open doors
But here’s this picture of before
In the light of your transgressions
I know you wanna take a break
I’m coming out of this depression
And I’ll do what it takes
In the fog of all this distance
Seems we’re sliding toward a hole
You’ve been a terrible obsession
But I’m not ready to let go

This Decision
Laying in my bed I open my eyes
Chemicals come through I need to decide
Every strand of light carves me like a stick
Easy to forget I’m a hypocrite
Sharpening your knives muscle oil and stone
Pretending to prepare knowing that you won’t
Caught up like a leaf a train that hugs that its rails
Heading on your course knowing that you’ll bail
And all I can do is wait here for you to decide
Reaching for a hand telepathic thoughts
You were left alone spoiled and unwashed
Wanting to relate caught between two stools
Stretched out in the cold naked and confused
Every passing sound reminds me of this choice
Scattering like stones floating in a void
Sentenced tried and sprung scrupulously scrubbed
No one knows your wish wanting to be loved
And all I can do is wait here for you to decide
