Be Seen
Show me show me all of you show me everything
I can see some daylight through translucent skin
And I smell the memory oozing through your pores
Let loose the waterfall I’ve been way too dry
Everyone is wondering no one’s asking why
Show me to your sinking ship I will climb aboard
Take me to the carnival raging in your brain
Disseminate the parts of you that shouldn’t be contained
Speak to me in riddles I’ll know what they mean
Shock me with your secrets expose them to the air
Lay it out like carpeting nothing can compare
I want to see you and I just wanna be seen

River on Fire
I can barely remember or I guess it’s selective
It’s like I’m watching a movie from someone else’s perspective
I’m fairly certain there was gas in that river
The colors were swirling I could hear distant whispers
Stars like you read about the talking got louder
I started to panic and climbed up that water tower
I never notice the good things
Only focus when I’m fucked
Light always blinds me
Then it gets snuffed
And I’m shit out of luck
The feeling of falling I reached for the chains
Was that river on fire I’m remembering some flames
My face flushed with anger flat on my back
I watched it all shifting vibrate then refract
I heard all the stories they were so inconsistent
There is peace in not knowing some quiet in the distance
I never notice the good things
Only focus when I’m fucked
Light always blinds me
Then it gets snuffed
And I’m shit out of luck

Come Clean
Did you run away or were you chased
Were there vampires in that place
I see your hands and how they shake
Those darting eyes you’re afraid
Does this history the space between
Define your whole reality
Can you see a path some belief
A way you won’t have to leave
Your friends can see right through
Everything you do
So please come clean with me
Did your family stay and bear the pain
And the zombies ruled the parade
Now you’re jittery the guilt remains
You’re floundering once again
The things you’ve seen this old disease
Informs everyone that you meet
You shape your fate you can’t conceive
The outcome of your family
Your friends can see right through
Everything you do
So please come clean with me

Song for Anna
I don’t know what to say I know you lost someone today
And the world is gonna get real strange
Wish I had the words to make things less absurd
It’s a nightmare and it only gets worse
Sorry for the moments when you wake
And think that everything is still okay
Sorry I can’t lessen the way the world will worsen
I know what it means to lose your person
There’s nothing so surreal as how you’ll always feel
And the hollow that’s never quite concealed
Anna in the evenings alone with your feelings
Try not to float away staring at the ceiling
Sorry for the moments when you wake
And think that everything is still okay
Sorry I can’t lessen the way the world will worsen
I know what it means to lose your person
I know that Noah will hold those memories
Somehow it softens by degrees
Listen for the quiet learn to ask for help
Anna go easy on yourself

You Call This Falling
I am listing like a broken drunken boat
Listening to your anecdotes
Trying to fend off your gaze
Admiring your clever clichés
You call this falling in love
We both know I’ll never be enough
My cold shoulder holds some comfort
When it’s over I’m numb and hurt
The way lust feels warm and slippery
These regrets all dry and blistery
You call this falling in love
We both know I’ll never be enough
It feels like there’s a squirrel scratching at my insides
And this longing and all that it describes
Someone took my heart wrapped it in a wool coat
I’m an uninhabitable host
Take my hand as it grows colder
If you can start my motor
Check my pulse I feel so depleted
Could it be true that I died when she did
You call this falling in love
We both know I’ll never be enough
Always around and never enough

Unseen Forces
He smells of gasoline and says he might combust
She jokes she’ll bring the marshmallows but Annie’s not that tough
Laying in the back seat trying to get some rest
He sees the glowing red from her cigarette
And they’re both late for work Ben’ll be pissed for sure
Ellis takes his shirt off squeezes side by side
Annie lays there limply pretending that she’s died
Why don’t we get out of here he says and takes a drag
You know we won’t reach Arkansas with what we have
Besides I’ve got my mom we can’t bring her along
These towns are all the same I don’t know why we stay
Even your sick mother constantly complains
Let’s sell the house and then we’ll get her in a home
She doesn’t know you now she’s better off alone
Something in his voice Annie just can’t place
She knows that he’s not satisfied with this life they’ve made
She sighs and sits up his heavy head in her lap
Ellis love I’m sorry I just can’t go back
Annie I’m just talking here I wouldn’t disappear
Remember at that Christmas party when I first showed up
I saw you in the entranceway with mistletoe above
Swear I could have kissed you that day that we first met
But I got drunk and went right home played the fool instead
Ellis puts his shirt on seeming so withdrawn
Guess we best get moving or else he’ll can my ass
Annie nods and combs his hair thinking about past
Feels like there’s some unseen force pushing her toward a cliff
Annie slides into the car kisses his clenched fist
