1.
Lorelei 02:04
Lorelei Lorelei you lie there in the light Your breathing chest swings with breath Was there something you wanted to say That night on the train As we crossed towns and counties And watched our surroundings Blurring into oblivion
2.
Storms 02:55
Storms In February in a snowstorm In the middle of the night You’ve found my number you ring me up I can’t believe you’re in Boston Only an hour away But you’re only here for a day All the years just slip away I watch the snow slip through the sky Play your message over and over and over again All of the storms I anxiously braved To get through to you I’m sorry but I’m not driving tonight I’m so far removed from that life I’ll just go sleep with my wife… tonight
3.
Shedding 03:29
Shedding The way Annie shed hair You’d think she’d be bald It was everywhere I looked In that hotel room We were paid up Till the end of the month Even though she’d been gone Nearly a week I thought to try and find her But if she doesn’t want to be found She won’t be found Solitaire on the bed With casino punched cards The sign on the knob Says do not disturb I’ll watch the fight On this shitty TV If he falls by the third We’ll have piles of money And I’ll call your mean stepfather He’ll know where I can find you If you can be found Annie don’t give up our baby Annie don’t give up our baby Somehow we’ll find the money Annie don’t give up our baby
4.
Simplify 02:59
Simplify There was a fire in your basement Burned up all your dusty boxes Burned up your favorite books and The dolls you used to play with Doesn’t a fire simplify Doesn’t a fire make it nice There was a fire in your attic Burned up all your mother’s dresses Burned the wedding dress and The one she wore to the prom Doesn’t a fire simplify Doesn’t a fire make it nice There was a fire in your house Burned up the bed you used to sleep in Burned all the photographs of Relatives long since gone Doesn’t a fire simplify Doesn’t a fire make it nice Doesn’t a fire seem so right
5.
Nothing Left 03:48
Nothing Left There’s nothing left of what you were before the crash You trace your broken fingers down the stitches on your calf Then you ask a girl you met last week To rip them out with her crooked teeth And spit them out the car window to the street These nights grow more ridiculous with stolen wine As all your old friends tell you that you’re looking fine But the mirror that you hid under your bed Shows the tragic story of your head It’s misshapen, distorted, bloated And when it’s healed you’ll be left with Something unfamiliar A stranger holding the old eyes of What you once were And you’re left to decide who you might become Even as you drink and laugh you’re forgetting their names You picture all places that you haunt in dazzling flames Waiting for the money from the settlement Trying not to veer toward violence But somehow you think you can change you can repent Lying on the living room floor trying to slow the spins As the blood begins to trickle from your porous skin You remember a place you read about Somewhere in the south Try and recall the name then pass out
6.
The Longest Distance Seventeen hours Till I get on that plane I’m sure that I can’t sleep For what dreams will bring The late, light creeps toward me Like a murderous monkey I can’t touch you well With these cold, metal hands Just a poor imitation Of a vital, young man Would you try and remember How it felt with those fingers You’re ready and waiting But it’s not like I’ve been here that long Still I can’t hold this candle As I fly back to where I came from Sometimes the longest distance feels the shortest A reluctant kiss Such tentative lips And I can’t lift your dress With these cold metal hands Are we still in this place? Does it feel like a bird-cage? You’re ready and waiting On the bed where I know I belong Still I can’t pay attention As my mind flies to where I came from Sometimes the longest distance feels the shortest
7.
Redeemed 03:00
Redeemed We’re moving to the south And I am kind of nervous about it I don’t speak the language Or understand the purpose Dad has had a vision again He wants to handle serpents He says that god has told him That it will get him closer Than he’s ever been before They will show him to the door… then lead him in I know that I’ve been bad But I wouldn’t call it evil Just ran into some trouble Drifted from my path All that I can think of Is what if I get bitten And can’t cast out the devil Because I’m not pure I just so want to be chaste For god to kiss my face…and shine on me We’re driving to Kentucky To take up with the serpents We’re gonna drink up the poison And be redeemed in Appalachia We’re gonna be redeemed
8.
Split 01:37
Split Tonight when I looked up at the darkened sky Something awry there was something wrong with the moon I fixed my gaze straight through the cloudy haze Until my eyes noticed a crack in the surface Then the moon split wide open Exploding in a million pieces Its glowing fragments mixing with the stars Then every last light blended Swelled and then assemble Until it was morning And they had become sun
9.
Colorful Pills Mesmerized by the snow I hit some black ice Toward the top of interstate 89 Slid sideways across the highway into a snowy field Through the dark I could see smoke from past some trees I hobbled my way through the field and wood Knocked on the door but no one answered I could feel blood thicken down my face and my neck The door was open so I just went inside In the medicine cabinet I rummaged for relief Poured out the colorful pills in the sink Not knowing what did what I took a generous dose Of what I thought a pretty combination A bearskin rug stretched before the fading fire I sprawled into it to soak up some warmth The reddened embers drew my attention They danced and spun like little gypsies In my dream I was floating in the water There was no land in any direction On my back with waves lapping all around me I awoke to a dog licking my face
10.
Waiting Tonight If I told you lies would you believe them If I tore out my eyes would you cherish them You’re waiting tonight Like you’ve waited all your life If you had the power to turn time back Would you keep my lips from your neck And steal back those years Find somebody who cares You’re waiting tonight Like you’ve waited all your life Do you like it I think you like it If they called you up and said I was on the edge Would you bring a pillow for my head Or would you yell jump Go ahead and jump Would you cut the words out from my letter Rearrange them to sound better Would you make a picture of fire Hang it from our bed and retire To burn the bad things That creep into your dreams… like me
11.
First Night 02:50
First Night Our first night in our new house I’m painting the walls Every color that we can imagine As you sleep like a stone Our cat curled between your legs God you look lovely I stand there and try and breathe in every detail Because time is so fleeting My love I’m so lost I mean how’d I get this wrecked You know that it’s never your fault I’m just in the shit And the cat’s not around anymore I guess he just couldn’t make the move Now there’s two more to fill the space Beside us So last night when you went to bed And I finally joined you Laying there trying to fall into dream I wept at your shoulder How did I get to be this god-damned lucky I mean you chose me I promise to always stand here beside you And I know you’ll be here by me
