You Feel Everything

You went back to work
After many months away
You still get those dreams
You still get no sleep
And I know it won't be long
Until your boss is on your case
You wish you could be gone
To where you feel everything
You feel everything
When we're in bed and talking about the day
It's so banal you feel insane
I forget how you feel everything
You feel everything
You went back to work
After seven months away
You were fired in your dreams
Wrote novels every day
And I know that you will quit
So go jump the lake
Go walk down the path
Wherever you feel everything
You feel everything
When we're in bed and talking about the day
It's so banal you feel insane
I forget how you feel everything
You feel everything
I forget how you feel everything
You feel everything
I forget how you feel everything
You feel everything
I forget how you feel everything
You feel everything

Awkward Questions
03:59

The sun barely touches the horizon
When I walk I make a game out of your name
Our love doesn't need the scrutinizing
As much as awkward questions like on our first date
But let's not go back to then
Right now you're consoling an adolescent girl
She's lying down you're smoothing out her matted hair
She doesn't know her power when she's broken up
She really sped things up
We're going somewhere hot
We don't know where I know it can't be soon enough
You love to feel the sun so much you burn your skin
I don't mind it near as much as I pretend
But I can really only kind of swim
The moon's up so long we exercise in
Its lustre and its absence all the same
Everything I've waited for is arriving
And everything was very worth the wait
But let's not wait some more
We can show our girl the world until the planes are gone
The sand the sun the balkans you feel beautiful
How the winter makes you beautiful you'll never know
I'll keep telling you though
Like how I saw you first
Laughing to yourself across a waiting room
The Siberian poppies just about to bloom
The winter hadn't tarnished either one of you
The sun barely touches the horizon
When I walk I make a game out of your name
Our love doesn't need the scrutinizing
As much as awkward questions like on our first date
The moon's up so long we exercise in
Its lustre and its absence all the same
Everything I've waited for is arriving
And everything was very worth the wait

Beautiful Still

Don't stare into the light
It makes your sleep so pale
The northern lights
Like my taxes last night
Nearly stunned me
Stared at them endlessly
Don't stare into the light
It makes my mind so dull
But the politics the apocalypse
Won't kill me
It's snowing on the tv screen
But didn't we make something beautiful?
Didn't we make a life so beautiful?
Can't we do something beautiful still?
Can't we do something beautiful still?
Don't stare into the light
Can't we make something beautiful still?

Light Years
03:31

I am leaving my body
I am coming home again
I am moving in a line
But it's hardly straight
I want you to catch me
In a turbulent embrace
I want you to come back to me
In that semi altered state
I don't endorse the stuff but I want you to be happy
If you drift enough you'll end up light years away
I can see your eyes are a distant constellation
I am floating somewhere in your space
I am tumbling somewhere in your space
Interdependent movement
Like the motion of a flame
I am not the oxygen
But I flicker all the same
Am I the fuel or the heat
How the gas evaporates
Maybe you will catch me soon
I will not dissipate
I don't endorse the stuff but I want you to be happy
If you drift enough you'll end up light years away
I can see your eyes are a distant constellation
I am floating somewhere in your space
I am tumbling somewhere in your space
I am fumbling somewhere in your space
I am burning somewhere in your space
I am vaporizing somewhere in your space
I am fumbling somewhere in your space
I am burning up somewhere in your space
I am tumbling somewhere in your space
Somewhere in your space
I am fumbling somewhere in your space
Somewhere in your space
I am vaporizing somewhere in your space
Somewhere in your space
I am burning somewhere in your space

You Are a Wild Animal
04:41

You are a wild animal
Walking on a mountain trail
You are a wild animal
Sleeping in the snow
You are a wild animal
Drinking from a glacial stream
You are a wild animal
But now you're in the bath
And the aftermath

Shook Loose

Today could be the day
The pit in your stomach starts to dissipate
That is not a promise but you never know
Today could be the day
The cloud over your head starts to evaporate
It will start sometime
I promise you
And I recall you, last February: fucking obtuse
But then March hit and you shook loose
The sun's coming back at exponential rates
Unlike the money that we put away
Today could be the day
Your boss calls you in to terminate
That is your dream and it follows you
Today could be the day
The banks drop the interest rate
It will start sometime
I promise you
And I recall you, last February: tying the noose
But then March hit and you shook loose
The sun's coming back at exponential rates
Unlike the money that we put away
Last February: reading the news
But then March hit and you shook loose
The sun's coming back at exponential rates
Unlike the money that we put away

You imagine such horrible things
They keep you from sleep
When you wake you're a wreck
Our girl is a dream let's not wake her
The world is full of horrible things
I see how that incapacitates you if it
Would shield you from horrible things
I wouldn't wake you
But then you wake up
And the sun is in the sky
Some days you wake up
You're grateful to be alive
Then you wake up
And our girl is by your side
And when we make up
At least these things are right
You imagine such horrible things
All the films you watched as a teen on repeat
The directors are dead
But not the pictures
The world is full of horrible things
The images accumulate in your mind
Holds nothing back and is
Gifted with fiction
But then you wake up
And the sun is in the sky
Some days you wake up
You're grateful to be alive
Then you wake up
And our girl is by your side
And when we make up
At least these things are right
