lyrics

Sea of Canes

sometimes,
I fear I hear it in her voice

and sometimes it walks across the land

sometimes
it
pours, now it burns


but tonight, I hear them again, so tonight
they visit again

and tonight, they visit again, so
tonight I hear them again


less words

Well, I pressed my throat
up to your chest!
and I hummed
until it broke

so
I pressed those notes
up to the fence!
and I smoke
anything close

(We stay in bed while there's a fire in The Rafters!!!)

And I smoke anything close, and I smoke.



wait less, more strings

What if it's all in the fall?
What if it's all in the fall?
What if it won't happen now?
What if it's all in the fall?
What if it rains again?
What if it's all in the fall?
What if it's an old house?
What if it's a wait?
What if it's an older word?
What if it's a weight?
What if it's alone?
What if it's a wait?
What if the word was so?
What if it's all in the fall?
What if it's a wait?
What if it's a weight?
What if it's a wait?



just another DUM blooze

drunkin' around in a married town alone, drunkin' around in a merry town alone, alone, what a rotten rain! What a rotten reign. Now, there ain't no point in stoppin', there's nothin' to save, nothin' to heal, there's nothing to crave and nothing to feel, alone, what a rotten rain, what a rotten rain. Now there ain't no point in stoppin'!


In a room with the Tall Ones

What'd you hear
What'd you hear
What'd you hear
What'd you hear?

There were snakes in your lungs and a fire on your tongue (so) I mistook it
for sincere

So I'm in love with a lie, so
I'm in love with a lie,
So?
So I'm in love with you, So
I'm in love with you

So?


(still) more wrung in the Wrong?

it still hung
We wrapped a rope 'round the wrong tree, but oh
it still hung
