Light box
On my way down
I left my hand knocking
At your window
1, 2, 3
One step two step
Crossing into heaven
One step two step
Crowded elevator
I’m stuck in a light box
Whose perimeters are square
But my love
Goes everywhere
Take one last breath
Chase it as it disappears
We met one last time
Let’s never speak of it again
I’m stuck in a light box
Whose perimeters are square
But my love
Goes everywhere

Victim of Circumstance

Victim of Circumstance
Was it love,
Or was I just another victim of circumstance?
Did my desires cancel out
Leave me back here again
Did the light
Come from the glow inside of yours and mine flicker out?
Did the foundation crack and cave in
Leave me back here again
But you forgot the part
You leaning into me
You talking sweetly
But you forgot the part
You giving into me completely
Turn my head
Arrange it in a certain way
With the ugly parts tucked away
At the bottom of the bottom shelf
But somewhere
In the smallest of the nested dolls
It hasn’t changed at all
It hasn’t changed
But you forgot the part
You leaning into me
You talking sweetly
But you forgot the part
You giving into me completely

X-rays
I was matter
But now I’m just a hungry ghost
You try to see me
But I fall through the wall as you’re coming close
I was greedy
When I was alive so I was condemned
To be just out of your reach
It’s worse than I could imagine
X-rays of my heart and my sleeve
X-rays that they took of me
I’ll send them to you on a string
Of the light unseen
From Andromeda to Glendale
You held me close as the spiral arms
But here as there
I could not keep you safe from harm
X-rays of my heart and my sleeve
X-rays that they took of me
I’ll send them to you on a string
Of the light unseen

Damned if you do

Damned if You Do
You’re damned if you do
But you might as well do it
Just try to make do
Just try and get through it
On the bow of a ship
That’s broken in two
The water’s rushin
All over your shoes
It’s seven a.m.
But I’m still walking around
The seedier parts
Of Stuytown
I can’t fix it
The sun in its aspect
In the eyes of the people
Just waking up
You’re damned if you do
But you might as well do it
What’s it to you
What’s it to you
You’re damned if you do
But you might as well do it
Just try to make do
Just try to make do
Momma says kick
Daniel says spark
Somewhere in the distance
The church bells are ringing
You’re damned if you do
But you might as well do it
Just try to make do
Just try and get through it
You’re damned if you do
But you might as well do it
Just try to make do
Just try and get through it
Trying to find it, in the dark space in your heart

Fireplace
If I set fire to it
It will be gone
It will be smoke and ash
Then it’ll be something
Keeping me up
Keeping me on my feet in the night
Late at night
Sitting by the fireplace
Your heart twisting in my hands
Did you see?
Did you see?
But I did not understand
Secrets in smoke signals
In languages I’ve never seen
That’s what you are to me
Did you see?
Did you see?
I set you free
In the sweep,
In the sweep,
I set you free
Secrets in smoke signals
In languages I’ve never seen
That’s what you are to me

Faun
You were the most beautiful faun on earth
Don’t swallow, swallow, swallow the ground
You were the diving bell and the birth
Come pull me up before I drown
You were the most beautiful faun on earth
Don’t swallow, swallow, swallow the ground
You were the dinner fork and the thirst
Come pick me up before I’m found
Cuz I’ve been hanging on for too long
You were the most beautiful faun on earth
Don’t bury your heart in the ground
You were the innocent, run aground
But it’s happening again
Cuz I’ve been hanging on for too long

Charybdis
First it came for the tables and the chairs
then it came for the laughter unaware
it slipped inside while the hosts were asleep
it came in fast it came in deep
those that suffer and those that pine
and those that lose their track of time
it’ll suck the marrow right out your soul
leave you here with no place to go
O Charybdis, can I call you by your name?
The city’s blacked out
stuck to the bottom of it
jaws are open
right in the middle of it
but I’m not the guile
I’m not the killer
My heart ain’t pure
It’s just pure filler
In a place where
The light don’t shine
You at last
At last were mine
O Charybdis, can I call you by your name?

Phosphenes
Wake from a dream
But you’re still inside a dream
Then you wake up
Still another dream
Til you walk around crazy
Still waiting to wake up
Alone in a bar
Slurring about
Phosphenes
Riddle of meaning
And seeming
Falling asleep in the eyes of your love
Waking up in the jaws of the beast
Screaming in your dreams
About phosphenes
Riddle of meaning
And seeming

Ivy
My love’s the ivy on the wall
You didn’t notice it at all
From the tiniest green leaf
Grow all the good left in me
Font of many blessings
I’ll follow you down
My love’s the starving winter cat
Hunting for figures in the snow
Was there to catch you in my teeth
all of the good parts underneath
Font of many blessings
I’ll follow you down

Moths
Herem, I salt the earth behind me
Underneath the bough of the linden tree
Elan, your veil will never hide me
I’m just the powder on your wing
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire
That’s where I sold my back
To please you
How much better to rent than to buy
That’s where I sewed my life
To your life
And watched the moths in flight
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire, hey!
You should know
I’ve been here before
And in smoke and ash
I’ll come once more
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire
All of the love that I gave you
All of the love that I gave you
Into the fire
Into the fire

Asha
O undertow,
Don’t pull me out again
I don’t think I can swim back
this time.
O, undertow,
I know this feeling well
It comes up like a groundswell
And obliterates the mind
And no kind words can I catch on the way down
Did you hear from Holy Ghost?
No she flew the coop again
She’s living in the basement
With the locks that don’t let nobody in
O Mexico
Put my feet in the sand
Watch the sun burn my hands
And the waves go out and come in again
Did you hear from Holy Ghost?
No she flew the coop again
She’s living in the basement
With the locks that don’t let nobody in
Asha, give me a new name.
