One kiai (yawn)

oh my love
i've been sleeping through the daylight lately
careless as i seem
soon you'll see
all my love
has been echoing in glass below me
lonely as i seem
soon you'll see
oh my love
i've been dreaming up new worlds around me
soundless yet serene
soon you'll see
keep your eyes closed through the red lights
beware your youth has a shelf life
it's impossible to lie
to the eye
the one kiai
oh my love
i've been counting every high discovery
will they stay with me
guess we'll see

Better off

listen
carefully
when the road grows long behind
wait for her
you'll be fine
take your time
take time
listen
when you're done in the cold
turning home from the choir of stone
wait for her a second time
you'll be fine
take your time
take time
better off
when nothing's what it seems to be
hold my hand
you're never far from me
one white
one red
one black
speak light
keep on
speak light
spinning words into fine designs
take your time
whispering will
following still
wondering
wandering
you'll be fine
when nothing's what it seems to be
hold my hand
you're never far from me
better off

Common tiger

honest
it might be
fridays i sleep
in the kitchen
sink
ing deep
in tiled terrain
heart burn
only on sunday
blacked out
chasing the bunny
through white
washed crowds
crying out
so loud
what a sound
autumn
sewn to a button
curtains
an atlas of fevers
and common tigers
folding the light
so bright
my oh my
could it be that your
maladaptive daydreaming
is coated in
cinnamon and
honey
please forgive me
for everything

Head in yellow
03:27
|
|||
|
if i wanted to stay i would
if i needed to be here by your side
i'd let you know
baby
i've got my
head in yellow
we know it's a mistake
we know it's not the thing to do
me and you
but baby
i've got my
head in yellow
it's not the same if we're supposed to
i don't mind if we both do what we do
if you want to
maybe
i've got my
head in yellow

I smell fire
04:10
|
|||
|
she's whispering
quiet now
smiling
leading me
underground
be careful what you wish for boy
clutching my wrist
in the dark
down the stairs
almost there
in her arms
be careful what you wish for boy
if you don't know by now
then you won't last the night
i smell fire
but i just keep laughing
i smell fire
wine from the bottle pours
out on the bed
not a sound
from her mouth
she's in my head
be careful what you wish for boy
if you don't know by now
then you won't last the night
keep this in mind
there's nowhere to hide
there is a light by her bedside
her candy cane house
lets nobody out
darling please don't drop that match
i fell but i won't fall for it again
i swear
the trees are crying out
let it down burn it down
hallelujah

Aware of the hands
02:28
|
|||
|
the television cries
in the corner of my mind
with the mouth of an animated liar
drunk with super-manic desire
why would living creatures care
if machines compare
we did not invent
earth wind or fire
in boogie man wonderland
we can always get much higher
sitting in your garden
browse away the days
admiring the orchid
in many different ways
i don't want to be alone like you
i don't want to be alone with you
just because you're happy
doesn't make you better
despite whatever you have heard
heads or tails
skin or scales
living is lunacy
for lack of a better word

Feel the real
04:22
|
|||
|
can you feel it now
breathing in
breathing out
you are
something somehow
reaching up to feel the real
don't focus on the spell
come down its just as well
i want the day to stay
but it can't
nothing can
do you feel it now
open sky
open mouth
endless hands
are fanning out
reaching down to feel the real
don't focus on the spell
come down its just as well
i have a need to stay
but i can't
nothing can
as above
so below

Pitched against the sky
04:24
|
|||
|
i fell out of my bed last night
why
do I care
because you're not there
no
i laid there on the floor til sunrise
kissed my lips and
set fire to my eyes
you sent me out of my mind
but I'm scared of heights
with my back to the night
pitched against the sky
you need no one to hold your head
no soft bruises
in the crook of your neck
you sent me out of my mind
but I'm scared of heights
with my back to the night
pitched against the sky
i hear you come and go on
i turn and wave good bye
bye bye

One kiai (echo)
04:07
|
|||
|
oh my love
i tried my best to stay up through the night
oh my love
it didn't play quite the way it did in my mind
so unkind
but kind of calming
like the sea
soon you'll see
what i mean
oh my love
if i close my eyes i see it glistening
staring back at me
in my dreams
oh my love
no one told me that this story had a name
oh my love
the more i say it to myself out loud
the more i feel
like I'm falling in love
tearing at the seams
soon you'll see
what i mean
it's calling
will you be the answer
