Tired Trees

it's funny how much i don't care
how little i've thought of it
considering
i'm indifferent
when you sing to me
when you're falling out of tired, tired trees
it's different
now that i'm home
don't need to hide away
in hiding places
i'm grateful
i've a few months
to get things sorted out,
alphabetized, and sized to fit your mouth
since you'll never take a bow
the lonely mistress in a coward cloud
mend up your broken arms
and rearrange the troubled thoughts
that say i can't walk
you are masterful
when you speak to me
recite the worn out lines
to a worn out man like me

Bells and Buzz

now cursing, crossing miles; this heart was a child
that spoke its mind with no restraint
now i'll pass and pull my punches, and roll out on the ground
to take the breaths and stuttered steps of you passing with the crowd
mourning bells and evening buzz
i can't seem to see enough
and you're struggling to keep up
so i signal you to leave
but you're looking at your feet
disappointed presently with the present me
you say that you need me
and you don't know who you were
and you want me to follow
but you don't know where you are
so i'll cut up my hands
find a savior to heal
new words to heed
and new skin to feel
i prayed for what was intangible
a muddy waste of miracles
for something i won't get back
and i'm starting to realize that

my thoughts mask the sound
of railways being torn down
I stood in your home
curses falling down like snow
were we alright?
the room blurred, but I felt sunlight
powder fell from your nose
oh, that's the way we go
I slipped through the earth
caught between your breath and the words
I scribbled down one long, drunk night
I burned them, and fled from your sight
I spend more than I owe
I'm spent more than you know
I've seen the world you bring
and I'm not sure what I should sing
I'm not sure if I should sing

Finish It
03:52

you are a failure in everyone's favor
but you still are a failure to me
an absent shell of what i seek
so go play the martyr, but crucify brothers
and stumble back into the smoke
where everything's calm, but nothing is warm
i fell along the interstate
trying to keep pace
cause i think too much
when i am buzzed
but you don't feel anything forever
no, nothing stays with you forever
now i don't feel anything forever
and i can't stay with you forever
i was a matchstick and you were the gasoline
i never wanted to strike
i lost it all once, but i'd do it again to see that
you're finally done for tonight
maybe i could finish this if you would help me finish it
