Hard

I threw a rock into the upper Ohio
Standing in a shallow part
I felt the summer pushing down on me
White t shirt on a lonely heart
It’s been five years now, you should know I’m not looking at anyone else
But if I could stop time drop a line just to say I’m in love with you, I would
I thought I lost you for a second there
Somewhere that we’d never been
I’m back now
I get far sometimes and my cell phone calls bounce back now
I’m not trying to ghost when I need you the most to bounce back now
You like talking bout’ the future so much
Unfurled and wet and shimmering
A signal pointing us out West again
A dream of where you want to be

Scenic Beach

She walked home in duress
The fall of Rome came down with her dress
A new horizon an identity possessed
The aching want for what she left
She packed up and just left
How did it feel to be?
After we stayed a week
And we were skipping more than stones that season in a comfortable haze
Your hair stood shining as it fell out of place
It flickers by me when I’m low and in pain
We’re lucky that we never did, rekindle it
Inside a picture there’s a note to myself
Forget the image the inscription still held
If you walked by me I don’t you could tell
But you’re inside by the lake and by that wine up on the shelf
Well I don’t drink no more
I left it on the shore
And we were skipping more than stones that season in a comfortable haze
Your hair stood shining as it fell out of place
It flickers by me when I’m low and in pain
We’re lucky that we never did, rekindle it
We were the worst kind of love
That was the worst time to love

On God

Eleven years ago you said
“The beauty is inside you”
From a hospital bed you took my hand
Morning sun broke through
A brother’s light that shines in my eyes
I’m holding you still
I’ll see you if there’s an afterlife
Running through the daffodils
I’m reaching for something to let go of
But I can’t find you
I know I should have been there for you but I thought
It wasn’t your time to move on
The next hours were all a haze
I fought with our dad
About where you’d spend your final days
He chose above the liquor cabinet
That’s where you lie today
Out by the creek
Filling up the hole you left
Stepmother’s antiques
So much of my brother was passed down to me
I got it from him
I learned everything
The way I cut my hair
The way I wear my jeans
The way I play guitar
The way I brush me teeth

So Much Like Perfect

She just wants to get high
On whatever she can
She don’t mind
Living on the other hand
You try and act like you don’t need no one
You try and reason when the reasoning’s done
All you want to hear is how these feeling are gone
But they’re not gone, they’ve just been buried too long
I almost wish that I never said
You're so much like perfect I’m trying to protect you
You're so much like perfect I’m trying to forget you
His eyes are red and white
Stoned looking for a chance
A kid without a concept
He asked you for a dance
She saw his heart again and felt something
Not belonging to a substance or dream
All she wants to know is “goddamn, what does this mean?”
their lips meet they’re back and blushing to the beat
He told her softly
I quit too soon
Why did I ever let go of you?
I guess the drugs they told me to
I’ll never let go of you
Even if they tell me to

Breaking In

They’re waiting for you on the other side of the earth
And I’m stuck
Consuming anything accessible
I was on the take
And hung up
You found me face down on the upright that you played as a kid
Blacked out
Mumbling to the birds outside your parents house
I was tore up
Leaking like a spout
I know I never said goodbye to you
At least I don’t remember it
Ten years of dying to say
So long
I left you In my dreams again
One too many times

Facts

I found out
My ear to the pavement
The statement we made was all wrong
It’s all wrong, the needle was off, the records are lost
Erased in a house fire
And my face burned up
Believing late night stories beside a bed of lavender lies
Feels like it’s just our time
We’ve been lost a time or two
But we needed the concern
There’s no window to an out
If perspective’s overturned
And you spun me around again
Like I spin you around again
our chances drifted away
we’ll be soaked if we waste it
it’s so close I can taste it
the hours and your dried dead flowers hang in vases unseen
why did you come for me?
a framed and faded memory of what you’d hoped I’d be
it's all wrong, you’re all wrong, I don’t believe that it’s the end of it all

Day 1
03:51
|

I’m stuck here on the blind side
From flashes of what could have been
Your voice left me stumbling off
On a beach out there in Bremerton
Well I was there.
Where were you?
I went home for a couple days
Saw what I expected to
I sat parked in the driveway of
A house I’m not connected to
Your eyes opened so wide
As I cried when I was begging you
The salt spun
The distance is gone
The long run
The silence lives
There’s a shadow in my backspace
I’m cleaning out my life again
Old spark turned flame
Only to extinguish it

Love Much
03:50

felt his world slip away he says “listen up if you wanna”
He broke a window last time he was here just dying for attention
I felt like jumping right out of my seat
When he looked in my direction
And I could tell that he was already beat and shaking like a leaf in the breeze
He don’t love much
I could tell from his eyes it was more than teeth that he missing
His knuckles told me it had been a long night of asphalt kissing
I looked away so ashamed I knew he needed my protection
Born in the woods life was good now he’s ashamed of his reflection
He don’t love much
He's afraid of losing it all
Jeremy’s already lost

Stuck Inside
04:19

In spring of 78’
Dreaming of escape Empire State
I took a new last name to set him straight
Enlisted in the service for a change
I met a lovely gal it felt like a daydream
Fast forward three years and we had babies
We gotta live the lie now
It didn’t last
She craved the touch of someone less depressed
The oldest died of poison in his chest
The youngest son is all I have left
He’s messed up he’s stuck inside a daydream
Thank God that Nick hasn’t had babies
He’s gotta straighten things out
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
There’s gotta be a lesson here
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
I’m not the listening type
There’s gotta be a lesson here
I left you on the other side
