When I’m Around
Long on the concrete
Holding heartbeat and coming down
Calm coming hardly
I’ll come on quietly and make the rounds
Contact was the hard thing
and coming down here from far away
And though I don’t know some things
I’ll tell you something when I’m around
Hold on one minute
Hold on
I’ll tell you one thing
That I’m worth something
When I’m around

Wobbling
I’ve been walking on my hands
Switching my perspective
I’m on the heels of some new truth
Like a gumshoe detective
But then I wobble and I topple
And I need another bottle
There is something like a string
Or maybe it’s electric
Do you feel it in your body
Seems like we’re magnetic
But then I feel it growing weaker
And I go and find a dealer
Show me every little thing
I will wax it so it glows
There’s a way we fit together
But I shouldn’t presuppose

Unraveling
Am I a radio tonight
Are you listening from afar
I’m all these satellites floating overhead
Sometimes things get so bizarre
Wrap that string around your finger
Watch it slowly turn to purple
Walk out to the water sand waves are talking
Spin yourself around in circles
I know there’s something happening
The world is unraveling
You said distance adds perspective
But this is not what I expected
I got so weary of myself
I took to punching all the mirrors
Standing on the rooftop in our underwear
Yelling but no one ever hears us
You’re feeling heavy from the rain
I guess it’s like that some days
You’re just a flag flapping in the air
Everyone walks by like they’re afraid
I know there’s something happening
The world is unraveling
You said distance adds perspective
But this is not what I expected

Idle, Idle
Idle Idle
I sit by idle while
the state and kind
of my idle time is passed.
And while
I sit by
idly I’d
like to pine
but ideally
I’ll just idle by
In a not-so idle mind
Just to pass the time.
Idly mind my own
State of mind.
I’ll sit and pass the time.
I’ll just idle by
In a not-so idle mind
Just to pass the time.
Idly mind my own
State of mind.
I’ll sit and get passed by time.

Weakening
I’ve been watching you fall
It’s happening fast
There’s this way that you breathe
Your lungs are collapsed
I could tell you the truth
But you’d never buy it
You’re a weakening state
A country divided
There’s a remedy but the cost is great
And you don’t know what you’ll need
Your enemies gather
They hide in the woods
All around there signs
You misunderstood
I watch from the wings
Without tipping the scales
A hammer so heavy
Can’t help a nail
There’s a remedy but the cost is great
And you don’t know what you’ll need
You’re a memory a blink of time
A muscle gone slack in defeat
A moment of some defeat
There is nothing left

Buzzing
Bee bound to its buzzing looked to the site of wondering
To see what all the buzz of the business was about
got busy and threw it out.
And each bee bound to buzzing on through that site of wondering
Forgot how to wander off and on past the buzz that they already knew.
Why take the time to leave the nest when the buzz and the business is you?
Why fly when the hive is you?
And me bound to my buzzing, lost sight of the site of wondering
Pluck the wings from my back and wipe the honey from my eyes
Could the buzz that was so ordinary be the business of being alive?

Never Ending
Do you worry they don’t see you
Do you show them all you need to
Is it scary to be open
In a system that is choking
Cut your heart into pieces
Light it up then eat it
You said love’s a delusion
I just need to feel human
All we ever do is walk around in circles
Yelling out our names pining for some purpose
I know you’re struggling and tired of pretending
Sorry friend there’s no never ending

Laverne
Let loose upon the time that’s passing
Lit a fire to heat it up and
let her know that I am passing by on ships we built out of the sun.
I’ll align the time it takes to place a flame on top the highest peak
We’ll go, and she’ll be laughing.
Caught in ships we built out of the sun.
Oh Laverne, hold me in.
Oh Laverne, sink or swim.
And in the end, when all is done
And all the flames I lit are dead and gone
I know that I’ll be laughing
Lost in ships we built out of the sun.

Shifting
Low hanging branches scratching at my head
Reminding me of things I should forget
There’s nothing wrong with me tonight that can’t be cured
With a drink or a kiss or some words
And shadows always make me feel at ease
These days I swear I wear it on my sleeves
Shake out the cobwebs collecting in my brain
Noticing how forests are arranged
There’s some intention fettered out in time
A strategy a purpose some design
And the water as it wobbles from this height
Moving endlessly it glistens and invites
Tonight there’s shifting some changing some break
I’ll be judged and atone for mistakes
Tonight I’m an angel that hovers through the air
I’ll dangle weightlessly fade and disappear
