Albatross

you've got to learn to recognize when your patience is a vice
the pause in all your confidences, the cower in your broadness
said you'd like to live in tibet, to cross my mind and forget it
and i'm coming to my senses as if they were someplace i left
to be alone again with my arguments against it
remembering all the lessons i forgot and to be careful not
to double-cross the albatross, to continue as i was
i count the shadows two by two and i stumble toward the door
i spill into the empty room, just a puddle on the floor
and i muttered to the silent walls, i promised to make sense of all
the stagger in my step and the many ways that bird could fall
we are rooms inside of rooms
see our capacity consumes us

Separate Bodies

i miss the dark mornings of autumn, and i want to
grow old knowing the parts of you i don’t yet
but we sleep in separate bodies, i still dream
of what you look like from the inside
and i’ll never understand how people carry conversations
like matches they could strike anywhere
and i'm still sorry for the way i cannot make
a sea swell seem like home
well does it help me in the slightest
if i've got worry on my side?
i cast my doubt into the ocean, but somehow it’s still
always on my mind
see i don’t know what i mean anymore
what i mean is... to anyone
and we sleep in separate bodies
i wish i could crawl inside

Living in Limbo
02:43
|
|||
|
refused the ambulance, saying you'll walk it off
i watched you amble toward the parking lot
we all fumble the keys in our own darkness
enough that i've forgotten which door you unlock
and she calls you by the nickname i gave you
and it's hard to tell the truth in absolutes
well i only struggle trying to prove it to myself
living in limbo, i read about hell
and dreaming i was somewhere else
you wish it was simple, simple again
that we could be civil or at least pretend
well i know it is no consolation prize
to be the only one who can say at least i tried
but at least i tried

Zebra

i'm at a loss for words so
the memory must suffice
found it strange you even need to ask
how the zebra got its stripes
and now you're gonna have to
crack a couple ribs
just so you can have the room
to let your heart back in
yes i know this habit's old but
you fell down the rabbit hole
i've seen you lie, i know your tell
see you shaking all the hands you hold
and i'm not the only one with
nothing left to lose
i am biased by my hindsight blindness
still holding out for you
the sea she is relentless, she swallows shipwrecks
she doesn't even bat a lash when she asks for seconds
but me i'm not so certain, i'm not so careless
i swim for sure
"face it, they said they
sold you out."
with careful words, i answered her
said "winning isn't everything"
up, i give up, that's enough
you're the only pain i love, you dull the other ones
