tethered minds apart
running from who's what
never asked a thought
jump the gun when I'm not on time
shackled keys for fun
running home won't judge
and the clock keeps ticking
i'm the only one on my side
dirty knees folks need, crying on burnt leaves
lying by god's feet and still I'm lonesome
rusty cars roam free, lie them down no heed
left it on my knees and still I'm lonesome
tender to a heart
telling you'll go far
not of absent fears
just a dare to fill your pipe dreams
dirty knees folks need, crying on burnt leaves
lying by god's feet and still I'm lonesome
hanging on to me, shackles weigh and bleed
never asked or plead and still I'm lonesome
just like dreams that fade
counting off to wade
off into the fate
that you knew you had condensing
dirty knees folks need, crying on burnt leaves
lying by god's feet and still I'm lonesome
rusty cars roam free, lie them down no heed
running off to me & still I'm lonesome

The Score

nine more innings till my morning's up
the kid at bat's got a price on his head
i'm not falling down just a bit stressed out
cause' I'm stuck in the middle again
it's silent now it's a crown
no life around where's a crowd
just turn around and close your eyes and laugh
you'll remember the score
lost so many stars just shooting past
cause' he's a diamond out in the rough
it's silent now it's a crown
no life around where's a crowd
just turn around and close your eyes and laugh
you'll remember the score
yours is coming soon don't miss it too
cause' we're all out fighting the score
and all the world settles down
and all the love feathers out
just pause it now I'm left alone
to wander out of this town
it's silent now it's a crown
no life around where's a crowd
just turn around and close your eyes and laugh
you'll remember the score

i brushed her hand
& they all felt it explode into the stars
all I did was wave hello but who
could have known
how deep it was the dive we took that night
except for us
she crossed the earth
good luck finding her now
three thousand miles but all truth
avante-garde it was to us
our stupid hearts
writing thoughts, sending cards and
sobbing loving and just wishing it all gone
stain left on shirts ink blots
the rooms might be plain
but I paint with your thought
dark & dull & I hold my heart in hand
finding you
rubber soles worn from strolls & cars past me
miss her way but I'm still finding her soul
in my chest
fighting thoughts on paper planes
& empty fame
finding letters finding parts I knew were hers
finding memoirs finding notes finding pictures
feelings hurt
finding her in the crowd & out my world oh
I don't know
I won't know
I won't know
I won't know
counting us while not trying to
i'm sick of counting sheep and
god, if I don't find her I don't know if
i could keep on going it's killing,
oh it's killing
oh it's killing me

Someplace Else

there's a time and a a place where it all comes together
it's a place that you'll want when you cry and your coffee's cold
there's a time and a place that you'll miss when your head can't slow
& you don't know, you don't know
you don't know, you don't know
when you lie half awake and you dream of forks in roads
it's so dense in the chest you get a tug and a pull from both
there's a time and a place where you'll love & that's all it holds
& I won't know I won't know
oh, I won't know, I won't know

& she sits on top
they'll never know what she
hides below her thoughts
right beneath the surface she's not
giddy or dumb or playful miss o ma
oh she's not there
& she sits on top
but the back of her mind won't dare
oh finally I'm finally all done
oh finally I'm finally okay
oh finally I'm finally I've
got to leave this place
& define okay
to someone who's gone all day
& she can't stop
she fights along her brother but
she knows it's not her fault oh no
she loves him so
& she can't stop
it's a cloud she won't reap or sow
oh finally I'm finally all done
oh finally I'm finally okay
oh finally I'm finally I've
got to leave this place
& define okay
to someone who's gone all day

weight torn
muddle all up on the floor
gimme more oh gimme more
what about it
woah, pain
bring a burn to the face
through essence learn a page
california
half life
croak a roar to strengthen time
peripherals & grasp a why
i'm on it
oooh, bold
mud iron blankets keep the warm
won't ever throw down the throne
we're all holdin'
& I reign reign reign reign
wrap these sheets I hold
now grown
water tipping brim the cold
let me go can't fear the known
what I want is
to go down
keep the lost and fill the home
heart of gold & hands of rome
& love it all
& I reign reign reign reign
wrap these sheets I know
