Birthrite:
Blanket all the wildwood flowers
Shadows come
Colored by the morning hours
And water drops
Gorgeous is the songbird's smile
When she's happy
Flying, for a little while
she's not lonely
Dance tippy top upon the wind
Twirl all your feathers in the sun
Yes, death has just begun
Yes, death has just begun
Gathers every breath she has
fills hollow bones
She's free when she flies
It's her birthrite
Dance tippy top upon the wind
Twirls all your feathers in the sun
Yes, death has just begun
Yes, death has just begun

Phosphate and Sugar

Remember how I loved you
And You loved me right back
We were both collapsing clouds
Floating fingers in the dark
We’d make out in the cold
Our lips like sunny days
Firey rays upon our tongues
The world no longer with us
Just the sounds out in the night
Leaning on your fathers pickup
Tangled up and holding tight
I’d look up you were so tall
The snow began to fall
Flakes melting on my lids
The moon was crystal clear
Beaming light up the fields
And we knew our time was up
At the sound of my dads truck
Charging through the snow
Changing atoms as it go
breaking our fingers up
Oh, we were so young
Everything had just begun
So sure of who we’d be
And where we’d find each other
Just phosphate and sugar
Glowing in the dark
We’d risk the angry breakup
father yelling at the make out
It was half past the hour
dad yelled the ball was over
Breaking through the sharpening air
Headlights through the snow
Causing a milky way between us
Riding back in silence
Dad scowling at the wheel
Fingers rubbing out the leather
Plotting out my sentence
Outside I spot a snow owl
Hiding in a drift
Great glowing saucers in the dark
I thought about the next year
When this whole place would be spark
Just the current of a memory
Flitting about inside the dark
Passing years into the future
No space for starry nights
The first sadness of the flight
Oh we were so young
Everything had just begun
So sure of who we’d be
And where we’d find each other
Just phosphate and sugar
Just phosphate and sugar
Just phosphate and sugar
Glowing in the dark
Glowing in the dark

Why do you come back
Stand before me
I've given you warnings
Still you open up your arms
And I'm charmed
What's the harm
Of taking a little rest with you
For a while
There's always a memory
That hides in the daylight
The presents haunted glance
What's the chance
Or harm
Of taking a little rest with you
For a while
And this is my time
This is my time
Maybe you should leave me alone
These are my thoughts
And these are my things
Maybe you should leave them alone
If I hold all my breath in
Slow down my heartbeat
I can almost feel your arms
And I'm charmed
What's the harm
Of taking a little rest with you
For a while
And this is my time
This is my time
Maybe you should leave me alone
These are my thoughts
And these are my things
Maybe you should leave them alone

Long Day Into The Night

Listen to that foghorn
Keeps me up at night
Never mind the needle
Or the twitching of my hands
Gonna walk right through that water
Let the vapors wet my bones
Fold me, Hold me safely
In the radiation fog
Guess there's never any leaving
When you're stuck here 'til it's done
I had something with me
But I lost it in the drug
Oh it's a long day
Into the night
Oh it's a long, long day
And I'm so lonely
Oh baby, hear me when I Cry
I'm so lonely
Oh baby hear me when I cray
About the days gone by and by and by
And bye bye
Take a toke of whiskey
You're so dry you're passing out
And I've still got a story
I've forgotten all about
See here behind my eyes
Glossy, doped and happy
There's a movie running wild
And I'm a hopeful child
Guess there's never any leaving
When you're stuck here 'til it's done
I had something with me
But I lost it in the drug
Oh it's a long day
Into the night
Oh it's a long, long day
And I'm so lonely
Oh baby, hear me when I Cry
I'm so lonely
Oh baby hear me when I cray
About the days gone by and by and by
And bye bye

Wanted Man

It's easier to love he said
As he held her in his arms
But I've been a bad, bad man
I've done some people a lot of harm
And I can see the devil
He's walking like a king
Holding you I know that
He hasn't won a thing
The clock ticked, a beating heart
As he held on a little tighter
As if his skin could melt with his
And they could stay that way forever
Leaning back to see him
Her eyes were bright and clear
He thought, "This must be my angel
to fly me out of here"
Say goodbye and just let go
Say goodbye and just let go
You're a wanted man
You played the devil's hand
Now say goodbye and let her go
Rock-a-bye don't listen to her cry
She'll be fine, she won't remember you
Tap the glass, exit onto the line
Move the air, fill up the empty space
His heart like an anchor thrown
Slowly sinking to his knees
So heavy this weight of love
That he could hardly breathe
The room seemed like a snow globe
Some wondrous place he'd been
She was in the center
Soon he'd be outside looking in
Say goodbye and just let go
Say goodbye and just let go
You're a wanted man
You played the devil's hand
Now say goodbye and let her go
