Hiemalis 02:25
Distant views outlast the gazer you said But I’ll go walking in the winter Go walking in the winter If you want I’ll go with her Distant views create themselves in our heads But I’ll go quiet if you let me Im tired of this set-piece Don’t tell her she upset me

Soft Exit 03:18
I spent the last few songs almost asleep on my feet Leaning up and sliding against the wall But if you’re having fun I’ll keep the keys Just close my eyes hope no-one sees Have I failed to encounter that The little cluster of girls sat On the kerb laughing at Something on their phone If in unmedicated state You wouldn’t have been so late You should hope that no-one saw if I knew you could cry like that I would never have lied like that Taken time to refine my act, together If I knew you were in the mud I would have carried all I could Taken time to fill a rucksack together

Sleeping Bag 01:18
send a text “do you think I am a bad person?” But I already know the answer And when you went to sleep The images were still in your head Racing through the streets Knocking over sugared treats send a text “do you think I am a bad person?” But I already know the answer Never meant to make you get in to a thin sleeping bag on the floor in my parent’s house

Panting with malice You absently point out The witches in the window of that house Your written word became a corridor of doubt Slippery with soap and water, rushing like lambs to the slaughter spend the whole autumn December chasing bliss Hand slammed in the car door thinking ‘anything but this’ months are rotting by Like ether teeth And all the things you missed are piling up like laundry In the corner You wish you could have warned her Waxing and waning, Mooring and unmooring when It started raining, the windows closed all by themselves Feinting and feigning, in telling it creates itself Just stop complaining, we need you back before the twelfth The shifting distance from her to your window Is caught between the rhythms that you know All of your could- haves And glistening could-have saids Are rushing down the gutter in your head
7.
We both lost our jobs at the same time And let the summer pass us by When the going starts to get too much We’ll separate Like the peel to the lime

God's Cellos 01:48
God’s cellos playing at your grave Someone asked what you’d do to save The rays of sun pushing past your lids Tell them all about your tragic Id In a hospital bed, stomach filling with lead As with prayer and petition, beggars dying at the mission skin on your palms being ripped off by the rope in a well statues tumbling in the ocean, crushed to pebbles in the swell Falling face first into dirt and dreaming of pearls a wooden horse rolls into cities filled with pretty girls Bright white eagles ripping hearts out in the garden, and Your father’s telling you to be a traffic warden
10.
I can see how that would get annoying It don’t hear it since the cut Like a river running uphill trying To steal the parcels from the hall It tastes like ashes The sun is pissing me off In the rushes Eyelids filling with salt Unacceptable you’re eroding your use Eat your vegetables run in somebody’s shoes
11.
12.
You missed the view Staring at your shoes I’ll sink a few Turning all to light In harder times We’d all be food I’ll risk a move To make it right Now you’re not sure What you’re really looking at Across the bay There’s another sinking ship If all you saw Was an appeal to land Then take some more Rushing over to the sand
