Breathable Heart

My insides are whistlin' my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
I built this brick by brick my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
Go on and save yourself maybe someone better
You might find you've been relieved
The drugs they kinda helped mostly all this lovin'
Remember me to my skin
My insides are whistlin' my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
I built this brick by brick my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
I'm ready for a ride I wanna get it on me
Be the golden actress and her script
The number of your time they're crunching up the tally
The punchline comes and you blink
My insides are whistlin' my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
I built this brick by brick my breathable heart
My lungs fulla light my bones all dissolving
For the rock a rock-hammer for the pudding a pudding-spoon

That's Where You Come In
05:35
|

Tell me what I lost
And you mistake me friend
Catalog my scars
And you misapprehend
See the situation is
The love I've gathered here
Makes me feel like a fortress
Or a dragon kite
That's where you come in
All the last chance
Lighthouses you've been
You might have thought
You were just talkin
But you pulled me back to the living
That's where you come in
That's where you come in
You might be whole
Or you might be holy
You might be draped in sun
Or strung with junky things
OH HELIONAUT
The love you bounced at me
Makes me feel like
A whale mid-air or
A gamelan ringing
That's where you come in
All the last chance
Lighthouses you've been
You might have thought
You were just talkin
But you pulled me back to the living
That's where you come in
That's where you come in
Every time
My last ditch
The arc of a flair
That human fix
This tether sweet holds
And holds me aloft
Here it is
My last ditch
The sos after
The bait and switch
Blood is blood
But true kin you choose
I am not so proud
There just ain't time enough
Enough to waste on shame
Or watchin the pearls get clutched
Listen here
The love you sprung on me
Makes me sing like a v2 rocket
But it's full of cake and
I LOVE CAKE!
That's where you come in
All the last chance
Lighthouses you've been
You might have thought
You were just talkin
But you pulled me back to the living
That's where you come in
That's where you come in
Every time
My last ditch
The arc of a flair
That human fix
This tether sweet holds
And holds me aloft
Here it is
My last ditch
The sos after
The bait and switch
Blood is blood
But true kin you choose

Ain't This Love A Stunna
04:07
|
|||
Where I left it once I came back there was a house built
Next time off leash it went and lost itself at sea
Very much like a fire kissing on a firework
Just like a firework blowing in a silo
Ain't this love a stunna
I'm gonna follow this light
Wherever it goes
It's got a chain letter power ain't nothin' gonna miss you
Dirigible limousine and I'm bringing it around
The aspiration is something Busby Berkely
But to get you on our corner I'd settle for a bull run
Ain't this love a stunna
I'm gonna follow this light
Wherever it goes
Come and find me at the end all profane strange and wizened
All shiny and old aching to be plucked
And if the veil gets thin there I hope we remember
All these lives together under these rhyming suns
Ain't this love a stunna
I'm gonna follow this light
Ain't this love a stunna
I'm gonna follow this light
Wherever it goes

Make My Ghost
05:20
|

It’s just this day in this kind of light
Standing just outside of time
Sounding your will
Through the static of your mind
And then the scales fell from her eyes
And she's laying down in the light
She killed the play
So the characters could survive
Don’t save me now
I just got the hang of breathing
In this fire
And the wishes that will stick
Come when you’re not aware you’ve wished
Your Life is sprained
Keep the weight off of your mind
I’ll thank whoever you present
Or im prepared to thank the dice
All the stepped over snakes
On whose patience I relied
Don’t save me now
I just got the hang of breathing
In this fire
I’m not ready to make my ghost
I’m not ready to make my ghost
I was ready to make my ghost
Now I’m not ready to make my ghost
Now you dont have to clearly see
My head is firmly in a hive
To heal under the moon
In the mothwing of its light
Just know among your future breaths
Some are bound to come in sweet
They'll hold your heart up
If you have to travel on your knees
Don’t save me now
I just got the hang of breathing
In this fire
I’m not ready to make my ghost
I’m not ready to make my ghost
I was ready to make my ghost
Now I’m not ready to make my ghost

How long since we felt this sting of hope
Got used to the gallows vibe so it's hard jumpin rope
A bright beam snuck through universal dark
whirlpooled into my eyes and gifted a spark
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up the stars
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up on mars
Hands down you're gonna make a zombie star
Backlit by the white sky
Cookin' the roads to tar
The kids are allright and
We can hope we're kid enough
To take up the sagging lines
And call a thousand bluffs
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up the stars
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up on mars
I thought we'd get away with it
Blues eyes plugged into a thunderous brain
Humming the vector list
In that sweet jumper on the train
You're the wager
You and all your limber kind
I hope it ain't just my bones
That get to see
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up the stars
Don't give up the moonbase baby
Don't give up on mars
I thought we'd get away with it
Oooooh child things are gonna get easier
Oooooh child things'll get brighter

The weather is my wife
both imagined and real
A sinful , scrambled life
One big crooked wheel
Your scraps and my scraps
Little storms of love
Took every single left
The kinda lefts that leave
you walkin these access roads
With no car for your keys
Your code breaks my code and
Holy Ghost dollar bill
Ain't been saving up a been saving
saving up a thing
Ain't been loud enough though I’m ragin
Saving up a thing
Did you ever get a script ?
I’ve just been naming these bees
that fill my cavity up
when you’re next to me
Left hooking octopus and oh
that shimmering veil
Ain't been saving up a been saving
saving up a thing
Ain't been loud enough though I’m ragin
Saving up a thing
Who’s gonna walk this great black dog ?
Meet me at Hedy Lemarr's house
Who’s gonna walk this great black dog ?
Meet me at Hedy Lemarr's house
Who’s gonna walk this great black dog ?
Meet me at Hedy Lemarr's house
Who’s gonna walk this great black dog ?
Meet me at Hedy Lemarr's house

I Can't All Be Winners
04:32
|

I can't all be winners
(Why cannot we be sweet
gong upon your day)
I can't all be winners
(Please excuse our mess
or don't and walk away )
How can you make it look so easy
Sneakin into all these wrecks
Square pills and lonely dollars
Walk me all around this heck
I'm close to peak manuever
Waking up with music breaths
Haulin what's fit for haulin
I can't all be winners
(Why cannot we be sweet
gong upon your day)
I can't all be winners
(Please excuse our mess
or don't and walk away )
The ouvre must stay elastic
We can't let stenosis in
Thrift stars and randy static
Wash over your breeding pens
Oh say you love this
So I can leave here
Don't leave us camping on your deck
My dreams froth
From all the riding
I can't all be winners
(Why cannot we be sweet
gong upon your day)
I can't all be winners
(Please excuse our mess
or don't and walk away )
I can't all be winners
(Why cannot we be sweet
gong upon your day)
I can't all be winners
(Take my cracklin hand before
the levee gives way )

If You Want

Picked up all my things to please myself
My eyes are speeding on the lines
In the book where nelson said he felt
We have to keep ourselves outside
But if you want a double for your stunt
Or a spotter for when you shoot
For something bulletproof
If I have to work in outer space
This is how I will prepare
Sit beside you when you sing your songs
And breathe the red right of your hair
Damn and damn the eyes
That I have
That you burnt a hope in
I cant see thru it
She moves the furniture and lights
Overdue books and sleepless cigarettes
Subtitle this silent roof
And the birds that swing around
And the clouds that push em down
We're just thinking at the microphones
A little see of minor lights
Wrapping up in chords will leave you cold
Everyone's been question marked
Meet me here to follow this light
Across us and so clear
Try to keep the wonder near

Fool For Futures
05:51
|
|||
Get outta my dirty dreams and into my car
Place is not what brought us here and it wasn’t our scars
Do you mind if all the tacks are all brass
And we talk like our words are bones
For something we’re building to ride?
Bring a black pillow for my face I’m starting to see
Time reeling in its jerky ropes and its coming for me
Brushed by the wings on madness’ back
The dump-trucks light up their eyes
And dance like bees in a hive
The minutes i forget are the ones around my feet
Im a fool for futures and I cant help but think
I thought I had the approaches blocked with berms and wire
But the things you whispered into my head they lifted a fire
Be my aristocrat cousin fling
We’ll leave them scandalized
All the golems with their mud insides
The minutes i forget are the ones around my feet
Im a fool for futures and I cant help but think
The minutes i forget are the ones around my feet
The minutes i forget are the ones around my feet
