Making Sense Of

So sorry to say I think you’re walking the wrong way
Just turn around, facing the sun
Walk until you start to become
Somebody else, holding a flower
Call it a rose, give up your power
And place it at the feet
Of a woman made of concrete
Touching her skin, smooth and cold
Wait for her smile as the day folds Into a dark, cavernous sky
Something you love passes you by
You’ve got to let it go
Over the edge with the unknown
Nothing is yours, not even the desire
Protecting the meaning that you’ve acquired
And attached to everything
Making sense of the wiring
Keeping you here, healthy and clear
Safe in your room
Firm in your fear

A Place For It To Land
03:28

I do not know what pulls me or In which way
I am pulled
My bed is wet with sweat
And the tile floor is cold
A river seeps under my door
And fills up my bedroom
The window breaks, five stories up
And I’ll be flying soon
Flying soon
You said that you were waiting
On the corner of the street
From up above I saw you
Kicking ice off the concrete
The deli man was smoking
As the M15 rolled by
A man with a cane wavered
As birds circled in the sky
In the sky
I thought that I was heading north
But I was walking south
I got so turned around
The moment you opened your mouth
To adorn my existence
With momentary vows
Navigating the silence beneath
Both our furrowed brows
Furrowed brows
Come into my apartment
And pour yourself some wine
I love you for tonight
And I don’t want to waste your time
Your love’s all mixed up in someone else
I understand
But for now, I can offer you
A place for it to land
For it to land

Cruising around it’s one constant U-turn
Pedestrians crossing without concern
A billboard advertising dying dreams
The real estate game
A selfhood to glean
Long Beach, California, working at a sports bar
Watching the game, red teams winning so far
Everyone’s getting pissed off and drunk
I’m taking a smoke break, leaning on the trunk
Of a coastal oak growing out of the sidewalk
Watching coastal smoke coming out of the hills
Everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
Nothing in this world ever stays still
Three missed calls from my Malibu pimp
I was writing down an order for Boom Boom Shrimp
Man, I gotta get clean when I get home
Gonna wash the sheets and turn off the phone
At times I’m confused, at times confounded
Sometimes alone, sometimes surrounded
Watching the tide roll in from the unknown
While gnawing at some dead animal’s bones
And a brief fulfillment sated the moment
And a brief but brilliant sun touched the hills
Everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
Nothing in this world ever stays still
I watched my hopefulness seep out your skin
Just as I learned to start loving again
Layers of pain give the landscape some depth
When you feel like heaven, you’re closer to death
And if you feel like dancing you must let it out
No room for questions, no room for doubt
Watching them lower your love in the grave
Nothing to cling to, no money to save
As a fragile narrow creek carves the stone
An agile sparrow crosses the hill
Everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
Nothing in this world ever stays still

Warm summer haze everywhere
In it, you look so beautiful
My clothes are wet from all this rain
And I really don’t mind at all
Getting home where I live alone
Locking the door
Keep a close eye on energy
Let it go, watch it come back to me
With every body that I hold
With each memory I release
For the sake of easing the ache
The body bears
Meeting you wherever we end up
Moved by whatever’s moving us
Holding a face in both my hands
No need to try and understand
You’re just here
As soft and sincere as one can be

I Wanted To Be
02:39

Turn, show me your back
What do you want me to do with that?
I don’t want to watch everything I love leave
Already forgot if you remember me or not
Keeping things light
Keeping the sun in sight
I wanted to be more than I am
Everything’s in reach
But you might have to break a limb
Off the tree
To get a taste of something soft and sweet
Oranges in the south
Letting the juices drip out my mouth
Filling my blood
With something poisonous
I wanted to be more than I am
But I never get down
I just throw all of my cash around
Keeping things light
Keeping you out of sight
And I never forgot that as something grows
Something else must rot
So why would I try to make you turn around?
I wanted to be more than I am

I Had Some To Give
02:38

Soft sinking light hanging on my shoulder
The morning’s sweet brevity begs me to hold her
Man I won’t ever get over the way that she glows
Oh
And in my forgetting there’s nothing to prove
Just going to work without thinking of you
Making a joke with a friend
While flipping the table
I saw something that I recognized
Couldn’t quite make out its shape
But i knew it was there
Mm
But what can you do when the silhouette wanes
When pleasure and pain start to feel exactly the same
Yeah, you can mess me around
It’s just human nature
Mm
And everything comes the same way that it goes
The door’s gotta open and the door’s gotta close
Man it’s so hard to get over a tough memory
And I saw something that I recognized
Couldn’t quite make out its shape
But I knew what it wanted
And I had some to give

Carry Me Into Tomorrow
02:43

Take stock of the love
Lingering above you everywhere
There’s a line of city pigeons
Perched on the street light
Telling you when to go and when to stop
With the plans you made
As a parade floods into the street
Guess they’re all going somewhere
Coming from someplace
Just like the wind that keeps blowing in your face
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
When the light turns green
And a movie scene plays out in your mind
Yeah I wonder what you’re seeing
And if it’s the same fucked up scenario just repeating
Discerning which disquieting glitch you’ll exist in today
As we sip on our coffee
I can’t help but smile, watching some kid dancing across the street
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To let it all out
Putting your tongue into my mouth
Before walking away
I won’t be looking over my shoulder to see if you stayed
But It’ll take stock of the love
Lingering above me everywhere
And I’ll try to hold onto
One of these things
And let it carry me into tomorrow

Terribly Free
02:45

Taking the train the wrong direction
Looking for light, or some affection
You got some nerve calling me now
Don’t bring it up, I’m underground
There is a place covered in vines
Floral in scent, feral with signs
Clutching crucifix, wielding a bat
Keeping head down, walking with rats
When I arrive I’m going to sing
For the lightness of everything
Fire and fog, sparkling stars
Slow heavy sex, fast moving cars
Nothing to say, no urgency
Perfectly calm, terribly free

Gotta open up the mail
Information, bills on time
Keeping my apartment clean
Putting my shoes in a line
After work I have a drink
And walk to Matthew’s down the street
I love the way I don’t think
When he’s fucking me
Watching flocks of pigeons fly
Pacing around my neighborhood
Anything to pass the time
Anything to feel good
I won’t follow anyone around
But I’ll be watching where they go
I keep my feet on the ground
And my expectations low

Pictures on the white walls
Black mold on the ceiling
There’s a man cross the street
Who looks in at me
And when you call in the evening
There’s an old light lingering
Around everything
Wanted to tell you
Something small and stupid
But I couldn’t remember
When I saw your face
As I rounded the corner
It smelled like piss and garbage
Fifth and avenue A
Don’t want to get used to
How it feels to hold you
Want to lose the desire
To hold anything at all
As the crosswalk counts down
Flashing orange in the rain
Crossing over Canal
Well I better get home
I’ve got work to do
But I don’t have to do it
If you wanna come too
Cause I get so tired
Always running around
Keeping track of the time
And I want to slip into
that Fragile Plane
Where I exist without a body or name
And you meet me there
For a moment
Before we return to my room
With pictures on the white walls
And black mold on the ceiling
And an old light lingering
Around everything

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10
