With People in Mind

in and out of the foreground;
where you like to drift
i catch only glimpses
i'm not up for this
//
do i change when i'm around you?
from my lightest to my darkest hues
i've been feeling disconnected
like my foot's in the door
but it's been there for a while
i wait
for days
to no
avail
it was always my greatest trait
sleight of hand, self-loathe, and self-contain
now there's no room to breathe
i've been struggling to identify what's real
you fade
opaque
see me in a different light
i'm grey
you're colourful. i'm inauspicious
that proposal, it ruined us
we're getting old, and that door is closed
you're colourful, that door is closed, i'm going grey
i'm letting go
i wait
for days
to no
avail
//
if there's something to be found in all of this
it has to be a feeling
tangible and real
it has to be a feeling
it has to be
it has to be.

here i house all my regrets
am i making a point or just lying to myself?
each corner is lit in this box of a room
is this something i miss or just a ritual?
dreaming of you.
i've had enough.
i think routines my only enemy.
i've had enough.
well what would you have done if you were me?
i've had enough.
i think routines my only enemy.
i've had enough.
we danced in showers of arms at the close
not common of us but
it was a brief display of need, and want, and reverie
i still picture you from time to time
beds of sunflowers close a summer's night
living your best, living your best life
i'm still sleeping for mine
i've had enough.
i think routines my only enemy.
i've had enough.
well what would you have done if you were me?
i've had enough.
//
wake up!
check around!
i'm still here!
open heart!
full lungs!
i'm still here!
say!
shout!
i'm still here!

Paving/Flower

another dream
you're visiting
and i see you oh so truly
they rearranged
your flower families
your walled-in entities
time and time
to pass again
we use this room oh so differently
time and time
let's not pretend
he took on
all your roles
he played your parts perfectly
remember long drives
no stony silence
just Achill Island
time and time
to pass again
we use your room oh so differently
time and time
let's not pretend
now you're not sleeping
i stayed away
so when i'm sleeping
stay awake
stay awake
//
unbox, unlearn
give and get
there's no karma
feed the birds, feed the foxes
overlook your valley now
see the wind
for what it is, where it's coming from
where it's going
take one last look around
you're just visiting now
but it's a home
overlook your valley now
it's all yours
it's all yours now.

Only Way to Heaven
04:29
|
|||
you left the door ajar
and came back in of a new air
there are these moments outside and in between
i think i'll keep you there.
you're dancing on your feet
scream your passions at me
now there's too much heat
for my liking, too much time for me to lay idle
a different frame of mind
i'm yours for the taking
and can you do it this time
can you waive this life?
this is all i've ever known
this is all i'll ever know
it's the only way to heaven
and i'm no stranger
the rooms so fucking blue
without you, you're a ravens death
i'm not sure what to do
so i trip right behind you
i'd rather not be aware
you're dancing on your feet
scream your passions at me
now there's too much heat
for my liking, too much time for me to lay idle
this is all i've ever known
this is all i'll ever know
these moments between are not good enough
these spaces between are not filling up
it's the only way to heaven
and i'm no stranger

build a frame to catch the leaves
angled limbs begin to weave
but i'm not here, i'm somewhere else
nothing but you inside my head
something i don't quite understand
burn of flesh and sleight of hand
turn your head to face me
we fall leaving my chest weak
and ask "if not now then when?"
you know i don't want this to end
i draw you closer to myself
until the both of us just
blend
so when we leave there's nothing left
a broken frame, unholy mess
this gesture leads to something less
than a life bereft of
something i don't quite understand
burn of flesh and sleight of hand
turn your head to face me
we fall leaving my chest weak
and ask "if not now then when?"
you know i don't want this to end
i draw you closer to myself
until the both of us just blend
give me a second to catch my breath
a passing thought
you hang west with the wind
i never lost
and never let you begin
i never let you begin
a passing thought
you hang west with the wind
i never lost
you never let me begin
you never let me begin

Senselessness
03:59
|
|||
over my town, there is a mountain
we'll see how far it goes
under this bridge there is water
west-ward it flows
takes me back to old family homes
crescenting communities
and white paving stones
i'll visit in winter, let's uproot the trees
wave goodbye to the seasons
hope for new seeds
behind this old school
there is a yearning
for no abbreviated lives in the morning
it's taken too many
it's taking too long
and now all of our feet
are black with scree
and worry
we dip our heads
we can't be cleansed
i'm not defined by anyone's life
in passing, there is nothing to define
in senselessness
in hopelessness
i'll try to find a light in this
it's been too long
i'm going home.

Amber
03:08
|
|||
who am i?
what space do i occupy?
travel and see me in different lights
two years and i've lived my life
and the worst part is i'm in control.
a single train of thought can lead us here
only focus on the bad years
so i collect my stones
i collect my gold
and i hang my head
shame is coming home
and the worst part is i'm in control
//
to miss everything at once
to lose myself in a crowd
i could do all of this great work
but i move backwards now
it goes over and over
it goes over and over
it goes over and over
and it's never gonna stop.

Stones Thrown
04:11
|
|||
i'm still waiting for that feeling
something more than just fleeting
something i can hold onto
something i can lean on
something that can take my weight
something tangible
something physical
something real.
//
with diction untethered
your words lay like stones
thrown
it's all come before
it'll all pass again
(interlocking, interwoven chance)
let me be human, i'll find that feeling
(settle finally from your glance)
it's all come before
it'll all pass again
(rearrange or reaffirm my stance)
let me be human, i'll let you in
who do you think that i am?

I Can't Stop Smiling
05:04
|
|||
i'm a grain of sand
i'm a bug in the breeze
i'm a papercut
but i don't bleed
i'm less than everything that i need to be
breathe for me
open me up
live for me
so i can stop
and the moment's not here
still stuck in last year
and the moment's not here
speak for me, don't speak for me
don't speak for me
i think about my mistakes a lot
think about all my hate
if we keep going at this rate
will it be too late?
and the moment's not here
still stuck in last year
and the moment's not here
speak for me, don't speak for me
don't speak for me
can i be that son?
show love to everyone?
i just wanna be good
show me how.
