IN THIS ROOM
in this room
flowers start to bloom
nothing stays the same
but nothing fades away
in this room
i don’t have to choose
wait for my moon
i know i’ll see you soon
and you want it that way
and you want it
in this room
feels just like a womb
can’t help but feel it grow
can’t help but feel it know
in this room
peaceful as a tomb
days don’t fear the night
and life is far from fight
and you want it that way
and you want it
and you want it that way
and you want it
and you want it that way
and you want it
and you want it that way
and you want it

ANY WAY YOU WANT IT
you can have it any way you want it
you can have it any way you want it
you can have it any way you want it to be
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
the way you want it to be
you can have it any way you want it
you can have it any way you want it
you can have it any way you want it to be
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
because that’s just part of me
the way you want it to be

YOU IN ME
sorry that i’ve been away for so long
i’ve been caught in my own crosshairs
sorry that i’ve been asleep for so long
i’ve been caught in between my own nightmares
but when you’re in me
i see myself so clearly
and when i can see
i treat myself so dearly
thanks for keeping me awake on the phone
had to show myself i could still walk on my own
and thanks for letting me write you all these poems
you know i prefer to be the one who’s leaned on
but when you’re in me
i see myself so clearly
and when i can see
i speak my mind so sincerely
sorry that i’ve been asleep for so long
sorry that i’ve been asleep for so long
sorry that i’ve been asleep for so long
sorry that i’ve been

SUNSPEAKIN
sun speaking through the blinds
that blind son been trying
to chase the shadows off the trees
it’s a scary, scary thing
to sleep outside
to shut your eyes before you die
to lie down in the rain
it’s a scary, scary thing
light leaking through the leave
she’s been talking to them trees
trying to catch the way the warbler sings
it’s a pretty, pretty thing
to sleep outside
to open your eyes before you die
to come down before the rain
it’s a pretty, pretty thing
that’s my name
that’s your name
that’s our name
now we’re all looking the same
that’s my name
that’s your name
that’s our name
now we’re all talking the same
i’m just trying to sleep outside
when the rain falls and there’s nowhere to hide
unless you know just where to go
we all say just what we’re told
how to balance that hat right there on top of your face
cross your legs, boot over lace
put your rear right there in between them roots
climb that big old tree, here i’ll give you a boost
that’s my name
that’s your name
that’s our name
now we’re the same
that’s your name
that’s my name
that’s our name
now we’re the same
that’s my name
that’s your name
that’s our name
now we’re the same
that’s my name
that’s your name
that’s our name
now we’re the same

SUNFLOWER
like a sunflower in the rain
she whispers smiling through the pain
a borrowed, blessed, blue refrain
lately things don’t seem the same
i feel her, i feel like i’m in bloom
in summer’s shadow, the fullest moon
a spark-plug diet in a steel cocoon
what about you?
what about you?
she said i eat, but i’m always full
bloated by the memory of making the rules
i guess i’ll wait for another spring
when it’s my time again
but you’re always here but i ain’t around
i’d share my bed if you weren’t so down
she said i’ll probably just toss and turn
i said there’s nothing that i can’t learn
so we shift our weight into a deep downtown
she drinks me steady, pound for pound
i try to relate, i try to clown
but i am all that she found
i am all that she ever found
i’m all she found
i am all she found
i’m all she ever found
that, and another way to frown

SUPERNOVA
when i’m at home
i spend my time alone
and i think of you
about what’s died and what has grown
how our shadow selves have shown
and i’m weightless
seems like as we string along
we take on sadder and sadder songs without warning
they say life it isn’t fair, so i stop and take a stare
walk in my hometown
pass my peace around
i feel the weight of nervous time
i feel my conscious crack the sky
feels like i’ll never learn
how fast it always turns
so when i whisper in your ear
that there’s nothing left to hear except
what you thinkin bout
come on and tell me everything you know
but don’t let yourself go
because i can’t fix you
because we’re born just as we are
and you live to see how far you can take it
like a blister in the wind
i swell right through my skin
and i’m still hungry
seems like every time i try
there’s a part of me that dies
but i’m a gambler
and i’d bet before i’m done
i’ll swallow every setting sun
and shit out my own source of heat
to cook down every part of me
that can’t stand what it can’t read
take it all down medically
because i’m a supernova
i’m a supernova
i’m a supernova

IT CAN WAIT
just wait
everything will be ok
there will be a brighter day
write it on my forehead and say
just wait
but i know i’m gonna die
but i know i’m gonna die
just wait
just wait
just wait
just wait
everything will be ok
there will be a brighter day
write it on my t-shirt and say
just wait
just wait
but i know i’m gonna die
but i know i’m gonna die
just wait
just wait
just wait
just wait
you know you’re gonna die
because the tarot doesn’t lie
i can see it in the sky
i can see it in the apple of my eye
yeah, i know i’m gonna die
so just wait
so just wait
so just wait
so just wait (and see!)
so just wait (and see!)
so just wait (and see!)

PITY PARTY
if i never changed
would i just get in the way?
and if i frayed
could you tie me up and make me say
that it’s a pity party?
there’s a core to my apple in the center of the sky
there’s a light from my asshole to the center of the sky
there’s another bloody steak and it’s waiting to be fried
there’s a core to my apple in the center of the sky
if i never changed
would i just get in the way?
and if i frayed
could you tie me up and make me stay?
if i never changed
would i just get in the way?
and if i frayed
could you tie me up and make me say
that it’s a pity party?
there’s a core to my apple in the center of the sky
there’s a light from my asshole to the center of the sky
there’s another bloody steak and it’s waiting to be fried
there’s a core to my apple in the center of the sky
if i never changed

ABOUT LOVE
i shutter to think what they would all think about love
is it red and brown
is it pink with a frown
is it blue and gold
is it purple and bold
is it the way i feel at night (it’s not real) about love?
i shutter to think what they would all think about love
i’ll shut up and think what i really think about love
is it calm and carry on
is it bless this mess
is it a big old shit after a nicely cooked meal
is it feeling myself when i really feel about love?
i shutter to think what they would all think about love
i shutter to think where i’d really be without love
are we breaking ground
are the leaves still brown
is the candlestick melting where the candle should have been found
is every light switch connected to a pile of pebbles in my laundry basket?
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
is it
i shutter to think what they would all think about love
i shutter to think where i’d really be without you
is it red and brown
is it green and purple
can you put it in a bag
can you call it purple nurple
can you lock up the doors
can you hold them up tight
can you really do anything, anything you might
can you really see everything, and see it with the sight of love?
