call the curious sun



love is on its way
it's all that i can say
running
returning
on and on it goes



running, returning

doctor this disease



i tell tales tall as cliffs
you've got a lisp
kid, those things are hard to miss

like my cripple cough
all your weekends lost by the lake
when you said i needn't be afraid
of all those devils on the wall
that make a fella small
when he's feelin' brave
they take his wine away
there were posters on the wall
i swear my mother saw
and i've been up all night
up all night

and you came well equipped
with a gun on your hip
and some poison on your lips
but when we wake up in our makeup
we'll be clean
and we won't have nowhere to be

oh, but i can't talk to you
the way i've wanted to
i've been tellin' lies
but i'll tell you the truth


darlin', i'm tired
and i should be leavin', leavin'
you know i'm tired
and i should be leavin'
leavin' tonight

as tall as cliffs
margot & the nuclear so and so's

my name

somehow
i feel
hopeful


listen
like me
new plan

good friend


bleeding
animal collective

where trees swallow houses



we danced
shoes on shoes
to the sound
of the spinning
machine

we slept
arm in arm
so soundly
ignoring
the outside sounds
of the
ongoing
horrible
scene.

the ongoing horrible
maps & atlases

but no more
so burn down

mountains

and so
so much past
inside my present
inside my present
inside my present

feeling it from dark to bright
when a wrong becomes a right
when a mountain fills with light
it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano, it’s a volcano


past in present

all things grow

i fell in love again
all things go
all things go
drove to chicago
all things know
all things know
we sold our clothes to the state
i don't mind
i don't mind
i made a lot of mistakes
in my mind
in my mind

hell yes

hell yes
now i'm turnin' it on, i'm workin' my legs
hell yes
now i'm callin you out, i'm switchin' my plates
hell yes
now i'm cleanin' the floor, my beat is correct


hell yes

feeling out the feelings

candy left over from halloween
a unified theory of everything
love left over from lovers leaving
books, they all know they're not worth reading
it's not for the season



not for the season

keep the stars



i close my eyes
i see a staircase
leading upwards into blank space
all of creation makes a sound
too soft to hear

birthday

i'm all new.
free from old conflict.
free from old obstacles and broken hearts - for good.
free from some new hurt.

hello and goodbye.
i am so much more ready for all of this
than i ever could have hoped.

the best gift of all
is this to myself -
freedom.

finally.

parachute dreams

and you don't judge me
that's not your style
but i won't see you for a little while
and there's no worries
who's got time
all these changes are going to fill your mind

saw the stars get smaller
tiny diamonds in my memory

i know that victory is sweet
even deep in the cheap seats

everybody's gonna love today

my friends,
my family,
people that say 'hi' and smile -
you make me happy.
thank you.


let us be grateful to the people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.

i wanna win the war

the wings are wide
the wings are wide

wild card inside
wild card inside

stranded in a fog of words
loved him like a winter bird
on my head the water pours

fly away
fly away
to what you want to make


i feel it all

a little scared



build a wall of books between us in our bed
repeat, repeat, the words that i know we both have said
relax into the need, we get so comfortable
remember when i was so strange and likeable?

i just want back in your head
i'm not unfaithful but i'll stray
when i get a little scared

run, run, run
i just want back in your head

when i jerk away from holding hands with you
i know these habits hurt important parts of you

remember when i was sweet and unexplainable?
nothing like this person, unlovable

i'm not unfaithful
but i'll stray


back in your head
