I felt that ping
Right in my heart
Needle piercing blood is blooming
Save a space for all this bleeding
You’re putting me in dark places
I neglected to see
Save a space for all this bleeding
As is such as will it become
Just too late
This will be my bed tonight
Long lost at sea
Watching for St. Elmo’s fire
Fortune shine on me
I felt that ping
Right in my heart
Needle piercing blood is blooming
Save a space for all this bleeding
You’re putting me in dark places
I neglected to see
Save a space for all this bleeding
As is such as will it become
Just too late
I have gone too long without this
Feeling’s breed in me
Show me your true face this moment
Olly oxen free
When my well-being is just your last
I’m the biggest fool
Let you do your worst
Here I will stand
Coattails in hand
Pray I find the will
To let this pass
I felt that ping
Right in my heart
Needle piercing blood is blooming
Save a space for all this bleeding
You’re putting me in dark places
I neglected to see
Save a space for all this bleeding

Sea of trees leaves and waves
The hush and the rush of the wind in their wake
I can’t hear the difference in their voices
Quell my troubled mind
Cicada’s screaming closer
Heat’s beading on the skin
This summer’s here to melt you open
Waiting for that final din
Heat storms over Lake Michigan
Neon orange and red at dusk
The lightning makes no sound from here
But the air is charged like wire
I’d stand in a wooded glen
Moss on logs gulls on a dock
The sky has never looked so clear
But the air is charged like wire
Between rain and wrathful wind
Among the gray and twisted path
I can hear the difference right now
Quelled my troubled mind
Heat storms over Lake Michigan
Neon orange and red at dusk
The lightning makes no sound from here
But the air is charged like wire
Capricious moon waxing closer
Clutch my throat with tender crushing
Lie in wait for dawn to break through
Just enough to plan what to do
Catch me on the other side
Storm chasers will abide
Heat storms over Lake Michigan
Neon orange and red at dusk
The lightning makes no sound from here
But the air is charged like wire
I’d stand in a wooded glen
Moss on logs gulls on a dock
The sky has never looked so clear
But the air is charged like wire

pall of smoke

Can you take take me back home
And will you drive me back there
Will you hear hear hear me out
Before this eve grows colder
I won’t sleep tonight as long as I’ll hear
The steady whir of my turning brain
You’ve studied the planes and rounds of my face
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Shame
Can you take me back the way I came
Without this pall of smoke just behind my back
And I will never ask you for another thing
Because this truly means I’m set free
I won’t sleep tonight as long as I’ll hear
The steady whir of my turning brain
You’ve studied the planes and rounds of my face
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Shame
I won’t sleep tonight as long as I’ll hear
The steady whir of my turning brain
You’ve studied the planes and rounds of my face
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Shame

Behind the grove
At the hollow haunted downs
Where empty stalls held winners
And broken jockeys
Where the weeds extend tall
Towards empty ghosted stalls
Deserted seats in rows
Where echoes won’t go
I’ve been forewarned of the hollow haunted downs
Where empty stalls hold shadows
That pace all around
Where the trees extend tall
Towards wide gibbous skies
Deserted seats in rows
Where echoes won’t go
I demand the right to see too
Show me proof I’ve got to I believe you
Just don’t bend truth
I’ll see through you
Don’t look now there’s something back behind you
Hold your breath for figures in the doorway
Just don’t bend truths
They’ll see through you
I’ve been forewarned of the hollow haunted downs
Where empty stalls hold shadows
That pace all around
Where the trees extend tall
Towards wide gibbous skies
Deserted seats in rows
Where echoes won’t go
I demand the right to see too
Show me proof I’ve got to I believe you
Just don’t bend truth
I’ll see through you
Don’t look now there’s something back behind you
Hold your breath for figures in the doorway
Just don’t bend truths
They’ll see through you
Behind the grove at the hollow haunted downs
Where empty stalls held winners
And broken dreams
Think about the time we paced the grounds
We left the waking world in jest
But too true
Just because the sun has gone now
Don’t assume we’re safe somehow
This is my time
Hold your hand steady
I can’t see clearly
Run now
I demand the right to see too
Show me proof I’ve got to I believe you
Just don’t bend truth
I’ll see through you
Don’t look now there’s something back behind you
Hold your breath for figures in the doorway
Just don’t bend truths
They’ll see through you
Behind the grove at the hollow haunted downs
Where empty stalls held winners
And broken dreams

Mechanical as a windmill
Turning alone in a field
I can hear the beckoning whir
Low as a sound in the ground
Peppered in valleys at mountainsides
Small towns lest be forgotten
But for their produce
Sleeping bellies are full of oil
And nights aflame with propane
Rest on your laurels
Grant yourself forgiveness to
Nights aflame with propane
How many passes on mountainsides
Twisting and wretched into the dark
But when I’m lonesome
I’ll take that drive alone
To nights aflame with propane
I’ll wait for the shine
And won’t pass by your time
I’ve been waiting growing ever more impatient
How many lives ruined have you got on your belt
Give me strength to pull away from this inferno
Good god here I go again
It’s not helping if you’re just lifting yourself now
Give me reason not to give the fuck up on this
Good god here we go again

In the clay in the dark in the soil
This distorted face is that mine
Beams splintered and cracking above
This canary’s screaming singing
Green lights on the walls are flickering
Pinprick stars I’m never seeing
Roaring silence fills these tunnels
Keep it straight don’t want no trouble
I cannot I cannot feel my way back down turn around
Boulders block my way every day
Frightful wishing I am spinning
I cannot I cannot breathe I’m losing my grip on things
Rubble raining down falling now
Frightful wishing I am spinning
Comrades reach me
Roads go nowhere
Just below streets there lies a fire
All of these things matter not to me now
In the clay in the dark in the soil
Roaring silence
Built these tunnels
Path where no man
Ever laid here
This canary’s screaming singing
Green lights on the walls are flickering
Pinprick stars I’m never seeing
Roaring silence fills these tunnels
Keep it straight don’t want no trouble
I cannot I cannot feel my way back down turn around
Boulders block my way every day
Frightful wishing I am spinning
I cannot I cannot breathe I’m losing my grip on things
Rubble raining down falling now
Frightful wishing I am spinning
Comrades reach me
Roads go nowhere
Just below streets there lies a fire
All of these things matter not to me now
In the clay in the dark in the soil

Sanguis in sanguine e
Aren’t I marble left to chisel
Smooth the lines and bend the curve
A lemon seed for breakfast
Let me grow ever more sour
Saccharine and sharp
These fruits are made right out of me
I bet you’d kill to have a tiny taste
Never go to waste
Aren’t I marble left to chisel
Smooth the lines and bend the curve
A lemon seed for breakfast
Let me grow ever more sour
Saccharine and sharp
These fruits are made right out of me
I bet you’d kill to have a tiny taste
Never go to waste
I won’t be the villain
I can’t help the feelings
Turn back time to fix the reeling
Standing right beside you
Pressing what can I do
Turn back time to fix the reeling
I won’t be the villain
I can’t help the feelings
Turn back time to fix the reeling
I am dashing to the ending
Breathing harder keep ascending
This is progress this means focus
Footsteps slapping to the pavement
Eyes are locked on blank horizon
This is progress this means focus
Sanguise in sanguine e
Blood in blood out
