No Dreams

Would you believe there was a time when I thought I had it all
A time when I stared only backwards and stood only tall
If I never said that I saw you I wouldn't know why
We stand at attention remembering days that went by
Would you believe I'd forgot all about it till now
You tell me again to get past it but I don't know how
Give her a place she can rest with the one that she loves
Tell her to stay for as long as she needs till she's ready
You stood in my way like you wanted to leave all along
I thought that you got what you wanted but then I was wrong
She left in the morning with nothing but tears in her eyes
You did all you could but you knew that the sun had to rise
And would you say to my face you were ready
Or that you thought of me all along
And did you think I wouldn't know you were ready
Like you said I'd be all along

Sun Bleached

Let's look our best
Let's let our faces light up in the aquamarine
Like the windows we opened to let in the sky's tourmaline
Larger than life
But smaller than stories we tell in the dead of the night
We are so many things on this day and all of them bright
Let's just relax
Let's close our eyes and pretend like we're still asleep for a while
The day won't forget us just yet
Ebb and flow
Like a dream half-remembered
Like the words in your mind while you're falling asleep
Can we hold spaces in all three dimensions
And let the wind shape them in static abstractions
Forgetting our clothes on the weather-worn stones
Watch them fade into a lighter shade of blue

Chamomile

Never to be
Everything to me
Always what I see
Always what I see
Locked away in dreams
Grasp at straws for things to say
That I don't even mean
Same as ever
When your life is a candle you say what you must
Midnight heat into daytime tarnish and rust
Feel the weight of the emptiness pushing down
You will grow to remember this fondly
Daydreams and aspartame lies
Say you'll be there by my side
And I know it may look like I'm running
But I'm just along for the ride
And I leave you behind like lost blood or broken teeth
Moving along
What's been going on
What's been going wrong
Nothing going on
Same as ever
Does it hurt when I tell you to change your mind
Do you know what it's like to be out of time
Just be sure to keep laughing and I'll be fine
You will grow to remember this fondly
("I'm trying" I say as I tell myself this is a temporary setback and soon I'll be
Better than ever and well on my way to a life where I have something real to wake up for
Chamomile tea leaves at three in the morning, they don't help me sleep but at least I can feel like I'm
Working to change these old patterns I've fallen into)
Daydreams and aspartame lies
Say you'll be there by my side
And I know it may look like I'm running
But I'm just along for the ride

Cowardice and fire in my lungs
Your name was on my tongue
But I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
And they'll put the blame on you
And they'll never find out who
But it was always me not you
It was always me not you
Solitude and weak apologies
You wouldn't lie to me
But you're not the one I need
You're not the one I need
And it's hard to let you go
When there's time to take it slow
So let's see where this will go
Let's see where this will go

Fake Moon Landing

Call me a dead believer
I am not wild in my youth
Call me a warm silence
I am not yours or mine
But I know
That I can't stay with you all night
I lost my nerve and I don't know why
Call me on short notice
I'm just a way to pass the time
Ask all the wrong questions
You don't know anything I feel
But it's alright
You take what you will from me
I give it all and I give it freely
You take what you will from me
I give it all and I give it freely

Fade from white as I sit up straight
And I can't feel my face
I can't tell what's real and what is fake
But I know I didn't dream this
Soon enough my mind will retrace all the
Steps that I made
Decisions on parade and I'll say,
"My god, what was I thinking"
There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And I was alone
Staring up at the cold metal ceiling
Cluttered thoughts congealing
Gladly free of feeling in the dead heat of time
No consolation
Awful things that I saw in the mirror
I move like nothing's real
And my voice comes through all muffled and out of order
And my words lack any meaning
There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And I was alone
He slams the brakes as he loses control
His mind becomes a hole as the sky begins to roll
And he knows
It's really over
Soon enough his disinterested savior
Will laugh at his behavior
And quickly accept failure and save the story
For a gap in conversation
There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And all the flowers were made of stone
