O Everyone

Loss equals change Instantly
Naming the name
The how and the where
Continuing bonds
What was and what is has been joined at the hip
I sneak out a line For everyone
Ruffled up head Our own afterlife
You know that you made a heartbreaking sound that I doubt thatʼll fade
Material face
Mirror the trace of not having left
Saying they know
It
Is pulling the nose of a plane in a stall
Itʼs good to have the option It's good to have
It's good to have the option It's good to have
Youʼre humming a song
I thought it was wrong to hum anything
Early is late and only in sleep do you not take the bait
Itʼs good to have the option It's good to have
It's good to have the option It's good to have

Long Ride

Avi doesnʼt wanna leave town
Well thereʼs a lot of that going around
We canʼt take them with us this time
And whether itʼs fact or fascination I... I said...
Whether itʼs fact or imagination
We still have the long ride home
Whenever we go Iʼm happy to know that thereʼs always the long ride home
And I buried in their yard
Things I should have put in postcards
Now like members of a record club we look forward to the annual piece of mail
Whenever we go Iʼm happy to know that thereʼs always the long ride home
So pretend to leave the engine running and Iʼll...
Iʼll pretend that someone whispers something and Iʼll... Iʼll imagine that we just barely got away
And we wont have to say what we donʼt wanna say
Whenever we go Iʼm happy to know that thereʼs always the long ride home

The Sudden Rupture
03:18

They say that it'll take a year and you dutifully use an expression that they want to hear
But for every year something new is gonna come knowing she'll miss it all From the back room of the mind
The closed eye of the lidless sheds light on the inflamed
The new intimate space that shook me up and arose in the wake of
I'd loan you my breath
And you can slide me to the rest of the world
I lived there before
The sudden rupture
In an apartment on in an apartment on
In an apartment on fire
Carry on the conversation coherently and clear cause weʼre not really there We're in the room that arose in the wake of
So yeah we're still kind of in quarantine
You still say that you miss her and
It kills me to choke every hint of that hope and represent
The world she is not a part of
I'd loan you my breath
And you can slide me to the rest of the world
I lived there before
The sudden rupture
The sudden rupture!

Fake night
In the skeletal aisle
I don't see what's coming Skin grows over each bout Strangers look godly Familiar in the mouth
Skull windows coughing out God plans Blood red rusting up
It's the smallest room
When I'm with you
On another moon
I'm in a flowering cab line
I'm wondering what to do You're the hole in my forearm But you could never be true
Skin grows over every fight
There's a death sentence stuck to our window Just tune out mine the most
Skull windows coughing out God plans Blood red and rusted up
But whatʼd you think I'd do
I'm in a flowering cab line
Iʼm wondering what to do
Mirror's talking turning into you
You're the hole in my forearm
But you could never be true
You make your way through strangers in a room

Thereʼs nothing in the closets
I think Iʼve looked everywhere Nothing in the drawers babe
Itʼs like nobody was here before us Or at least they are all gone
So who cares if I think people are polite On the Hollywood Boulevard at night
And who cares if Iʼm right
We listen to the radio as if every word is news The dogs are in the rabbitʼs house
But who are we to choose when thereʼs no wrong Baby weʼre all gone
I remember when we went up to Mulholland Drive
Do you remember when we went up to Mulholland Drive And we found those keys in the night
Those keys I thought would fit just right
To this imaginary life
This imaginary life
That Iʼd like

Present Day Sky
03:29
|

Connect the dots that are left
On either side of bereavements gap in the bed
I am provider of attributes and the present day sky
The serpent coils and hides in traits of a foil
Now how can I lift her out of this and into present day skies Cause under present day skies
Are you out of my mind or am I
To have made a place in the midst of this
In the corner of her eye
You caused havoc you caused havoc
Now how can I lift her out of this and into present day skies Cause under present day skies pyramids bloom
Tombs that havenʼt been opened since tunneling the womb Itʼs not like I think youʼre lying there
Iʼm just having a hard time
You caused havoc you caused havoc
You caused havoc you caused havoc
Now itʼs about seven months ago under the present day sky And you are out of my mind or am I
To want this all to be over with
These are the rules I abide by
That thereʼs a present day sky that stole the eyes in her head
And a present day sky thatʼs just the proof of the theft

Separate Room

Whoʼs freeʼer and whoʼs more tied up
Original safety
Original fear
So howʼs she doing and whoʼs up there A new tone of voice under the rug
I mean Iʼm not reacting but Iʼm not acting There isnʼt any normalcy anymore
Thereʼs just trying to get back to a schedule Separate room
Separate room
Separate room
Iʼm trying to get back to a schedule
Windows of worry overlap Mostly theyʼre all that we have
There isnʼt any normalcy anymore Separate room
Separate room
Separate room
Iʼm trying to get back to a schedule
Sucking on poisonous love sucking on poisonous love

The Idea
03:19
|

I made up my mind about a hundred times
Thought maybe renting a room and have a coffin brought up to our house But I know weʼre both too busy
So now weʼre plowing the old doll face up and leaving for a tire fire by I95
More than you know we are an arrow and bow Swimmers at sea escaping the undertow
I drew both chalked out lines and hid the corpse under the bed Wonder if the neighborhood changed the second we left
For foreign pavements to come up to our necks
I made up my mind about a hundred times
But the idea was so insane I shouldnʼt mention it again I made the mistake reading the lips and the face
But the idea was so insane I should mention it again
I made up my mind about a hundred times
Thought maybe renting a room and someone borrowing our house A fake funeral pyre by the I95
I drew both chalked out lines and hid the corpse under the bed Wonder if the neighborhood changed the second we left
For foreign pavements to come up to our necks
For foreign pavements to come up to our necks
But the idea was so insane I shouldnʼt mention it again

Thought we'd see everything
And that the birds in your hair would get a different ring to them They're nesting on blankets of your skin
And they tighten every morning like a knot So the world doesn't change
Mine is waiting in the wing
With the front page of the calendar of things I wish you wouldn't have to bring
Thought we'd see everything
They're nesting on blankets of your skin From here to Michigan
Sorrowʼs on your chest it breathes in four four time
With every thought you think you got about something else I'm a one-line-drawing by the man in the park up in River dale
An eight-millimeter film
With nothing else on the bill
In a loop I wish you wouldn't watch
I guess you don't know what you got
Until you've seen everything
ʻTill the birds in your hair get a different ring to them They're nesting on blankets of her skin
From here to Michigan

Straighten blankets and pretend Whipping up a little craziness
Like monkeys picking lice out of the beds Throwing glances at other heads
Shirt around the shoulders of a chair
Seems to inaugurate the room weʼre in
Iʼm in a tool belt around the waist of my host Still Iʼm happy to be giving this toast
Being far away from home makes it all the more difficult To find a little time to ourselves
But I want autographs from these days on our shelves
But youʼre mumbling All the time
Like a radio
Brewing up
The crimes Of the old
Now we have tokens to come back

You said that it was something to be seen
And now that I'm here I do see what you mean to me
Thereʼs someone following you around All wooden panel swamp to crown Been so articulate in town
Two flags in Polaroids
So what's that accent in your mouth Caught every look you sent around Hints of the hidden in your smile Two flags in Polaroids
Left over left
Left you crossing your arms
Matches took time as they lit up the barn
Want you forever no matter to which house we're bound
I'm just a fool on a pill But I'm a fool for you still
