Elizabeth Colorado
Half full of whiskey or maybe I was half empty
I could hear you smoking on the other side of the line
Did I mention the pine trees huddled all around me
It felt like I was stepping out of time
There’s nothing in the world like this disease
I know you hate a cold bed just like me
Elizabeth Colorado sanctified in new snow
God knows we could use a little lift
We hardly see the edges they somehow never let us
Until we go careening off a cliff
Every time I close my eyes and breathe
I’m hoping that you’re learning to believe
What a little lie we made
I said I would be your human shield
Nothing further from the truth
How could we have run so far afield

Soft Love
I know the way to your house
You and your chemical mouth
We’ll wear our clothes in the bath
Shave off our eyebrows and laugh laugh laugh
I know I’ll never forget
The sound of your bones in your neck
The taste of your sparkling lips
The way that you bite when you kiss kiss kiss
So please know me
I am the hive full of honey
I’ll see you
I’ll write down the things that you do
Pray to a god that’s not real
Hoping that something’s revealed
You said that I was no prize
I’ll build a door to your eyes eyes eyes
Warm milk and stale cigarettes
Who were we before we met
What do we have left to do
After we walk on the moon moon moon
So please know me
I am the hive full of honey
I’ll see you
I’ll write down the things that you do
Sand of your prison tattoo
I’ll write the score for this soft love
You look for some things to burn
I’ll find a bridge to jump off of

Absolve Me
I never met a horse that I couldn’t ride
But you threw me off like a rag doll last night
Walking the floors in my muddy boots
Looking for a little light to pass through
Calling me from the other side of the door
Somehow you don’t have ears any more
Watching out the window at the fighting crows
And the crocuses breaking through the snow
No one ever notices until you’re gone
But there’s a hopefulness stringing you along
Loosening I’m dissolving I’m a ghost
Comfort me show me love hold me close
Bandage up these broken knees
Find a cure for this disease
Fill my ruptured lungs with air
I’m not going anywhere
I shouldn’t have kept my mouth shut tight
I’m a magnet for the trouble I invite
You don’t know the depth of my disconnect
There’s a reckoning I’ve come to expect
Forgive me absolve me from my many sins
Stay with me this is where the life begins

Take Me With
I know it’s been a while since I called out your name
But you know summers here can be so insane
And I’ve been trying to fix up this old house
Thinking maybe I’ll get out
Lately the days have been way too warm
The raspberries are out in front of the barn
I remember how you’d leave them for me
In a smiley face cup on my seat
Some day I’ll drift away
Until then you’re the rain that cools me down
You’re the salty smell that fills this town
I was swimming in the ocean in the dark last week
You know some nights I can’t really sleep
Thought I heard a sound somewhere far away
Was that you saying hey
I know you said you wanted me to be happy
But my love’s a heavy element it won’t float free
I struggle and I suffer and I’m barely hanging on
You’re the thread pulling me along
Some day I’ll drift away
Until then you’re the bird that wakes me up
You’re the reason no one is enough
I know you might find it a little bizarre
But I planted some ashes in the backyard
We both lived here longer than anywhere else
And I couldn’t help myself
I remember talking to you in our living room
That morning you fluttered away too soon
Your mouth was agape and fingers askew
I said love take me with you Please take me with you

Mars
I’m back in Michigan staying with my mom again
Things got a little weird then I just disappeared
But I think of you my friend
Living off these residuals still stuck in my rituals
Running up smaller hills fighting this lack of will
Surviving on cold cereal
Now every man with a beard reminds me of you
I sit on this bridge and drink in the view
Watch the fog draw the color out of the day
And the bats in some quiet ballet
I take my mom’s medicine it makes me more reticent
Watching these dumb cartoons sleeping through afternoons
Wondering where time went
Always slipping and sliding I feel the gap widening
Between who I am inside and the little I decide
Is even worth showing
You said the highways don’t really go anywhere
They circle around and leave you impaired
If you wanted to pack up and jump in your car
I’ll be in the bar called Mars
I’ll be in the bar called Mars

Fly Like Snow
A pile of empty bottles in the backyard by the chickens
Crows are in the sycamores quiet judging stricken
And maybe the pond is high enough to swim out to the tractor
Remember when he drove right in laughing eating crackers
Watch the leaves they’ll fall eventually
Curse his name until it takes your breath away
Pull out your old bicycle laying rusted resting
Try not to remember all the things that you’re forgetting
You can see the tree house you built with fallen pines
Nothing now can drag you back there these are different times
Watch the leaves they’ll fall eventually
Curse his name until it takes your breath away
You’re afraid to go inside the house is like a hole
Nothing you can do or say will give you back control
Take out all the furniture the books the lamps the clothes
Set it all on fire watch the ashes fly like snow

Cold Country Blackout
This is the coldest country I’ve ever known
I can’t shake this feeling in my bones
And the roads are all snowed over
Winter lasts forever
I can’t get this language in my head
Still I notice everything that’s said
The coffee tastes like syrup
Here in northern Europe
Please come out to see me in the spring
You can be the cure for everything
I know that you’re not wrong in feeling reticent
But I swear I’m off the medicine
Books I’m reading pile up so high
Somehow the escape helps me survive
I don’t own any plates
I think I’ve lost some weight
I don’t remember tell me how I got here
Suddenly it’s nearing seven years
Was I running from some truth
Now I only think of you
Please come out to see me in the spring
You can shine a light on anything
The lilies of the valley will be blooming
What else are you doing
I’ll pay for half the ticket
I’m sure that we can fix it

Vancouver
Under those Vancouver stars
Looking through your father’s telescope
It felt like I was ready to explode
Staring at your phone in the darkness
Your face lit up from underneath
The song I thought you loved stuck on repeat
It seems like there’s an ocean
Of emotion you’re not accessing
Bubbling down below but I’m only guessing
All I ever wanted to be
Was something that somebody needs
Now I’m like a kite in a tree
Flopping all around helplessly
Watching for the Cormorants
The smell of Eucalyptus
The taste of your tongue lingering on my lips
I know we’re insignificant
Space dust in the atmosphere
Floating around for a second then disappear
It’s hard to hold perspective
Sorting through this chemistry
You make me feel like I could believe x2
All I ever wanted to be
Was something that somebody needs
Now I’m like a kite in a tree
Flopping all around helplessly

Secrets in the Snow
I took a small black horse from the stable
We both had fallen out of favor
The path ahead laid out like a carpet
On my back was scrawled a target
My breath came quick and shallow
I placed my bet on tomorrow
This future ghost town feels wrong and wronger
I can’t abide it any longer
A line of birches hovered up ahead
As I was drowning in my sweat
Dust and dirt lodged deep within my lungs
And I’d only just begun
You said it tore you apart
How I was different in the dark
There’s a hummingbird stuck inside my mouth
Always crying to get out
I tried to act with compassion
You said it seemed like just an act
And there were things inside of me that scared you
Maybe I’m a psychopath
Logging through my catalog of crimes
As the night came so sublime
I imagine living in Wyoming
And all the changes it might bring
I’ve got a brother up in Jackson
He’s not afraid of anyone
I could bury all my secrets in the thick snow
But by the spring they’d be exposed

Dissipating
Show me mercy I can handle it
Let me love before I quit
If there’s a god then let him speak
I’m afraid this flesh is weak and slackening
Mop my forehead check my pulse
Calculate the new results
Bite my skin and make it hurt
I’m not tethered to this earth I’m dissipating
Tell me there’s a little antidote
Inside your heaving chest
I can never really reconcile
The secrets that I’ve kept
Never knowing how to empty out
What I would confess
I’m bottled up ready to explode
What’s the use in shaking through
I’m listless from the making moves
Everything is too absurd
Leave my body for the birds I’m decomposing
Rifle through these broken bones
Analyze my chromosomes
There’s a flaw a rift a split
Now I’m sure I’m counterfeit a rogue imposter
Tell me there’s a little antidote
Inside your heaving chest
I can never really reconcile
The secrets that I’ve kept
Never knowing how to empty out
What I would confess
I’m bottled up ready to explode
