Isn't It Always

Forget the songs I write
Even I forget the words sometimes
I can't seem to believe myself
for more than 4 years at a time
and that's to say
I tear out my back pages
and I don't need to trust myself
to know I go in phases
and that's a lie
I changed my mind
I'll only ever be the myself
I always knew I'd become in time
I don't know why it sounds so bad
to say I'm all I've got
and I can't believe it
took me so long just to know I'm not
and it's lonesome thing to say
that all I'll ever be
is a version of myself
I hope that no one ever sees
by no means
am I done
trying to figure
out which words to sing
and it's a drag to know
my voice will never sing
simple ways of phrasing
things I'll never see
I don't know why it sounds so bad
to say I'm all I've got
and I can't believe it
took me so long just to know I'm not
and it's lonesome thing to say
that all I'll ever be
is a version of myself
I hope that no one ever sees
Isn't it always
the only thing ever
to make you feel better
is somebody else
Isn't it always
the only thing ever
to make you feel better
is somebody else

Wonders For Me Lately

broken open
taken aside
he left while I was catching a train
it took me two days to cry
and when it happened
I imagine it felt
alright to know the folks
he didn't quite recognize
were keeping busy
living the life he made
with his partner in crime
the choir girl in the back
Tennessee
held onto me
that day
with a trembling hand
hold heaven close
over and over again
it goes cold without
the breath it's used to breathing
blow out a flame
trying to start it again
an empty rain cloud
what did you think would happen
late son's an angel
other's a man angelic
in his manner of life
I'm proud to call him my dad
a family name
cut in half and it wanes
on pessimistic optimism
maybe it's not that bad
I don't know, it's a slow
slow reproach I find
applying to myself
it's just that I cope
reverie is doing
wonders for me
lately and I hope
it's starting to show
hold heaven close
over and over again
it goes cold without
the breath it's used to breathing
blow out a flame
trying to start it again
an empty rain cloud
what did you think would happen
(2x)

No Object

we won't show
the blow our heads back
towards the ceiling
thoughts no more
we'll roll
our glass eyes
that we got
a few months ago
towards all
we want
walk inside the
shards implode
and all
we want
is what we've
always known
we can't leave
I don't want to leave
we step outside into the smoke
of all the people we call home
and build a monument in the middle
of the thought that we're alone
worship everything we know
to be the things that make us whole
and try to make them into something
we can say is all our own
we all show
the blow our heads back
towards the ceiling thoughts
and more
we roll
our eyes
across
the floor
we step outside into the smoke
of all the people we call home
and build a monument in the middle
of the thought that we're alone
worship everything we know
to be the things that make us whole
and try to make them into something
we can say is all our own

Do Me A Favor

hopeless to bed you assume that you'll rise
you go through the day
with night on your face
the sun is a violent surprise
and you
can't shake the feeling you've lost it all
and you
know that you're gone but keep telling yourself that nothing's impossible
but do me a favor and see
that you can't always be your own savior
and do me a favor and see
that they can't always be the people you need them to be
focus a while for me just on today
and focus a while for me
just on the smile that you
just can't seem to get to stay
so you
can feel every moment that passes by
and you
can feel yourself breathing in circles on purpose immaculate stay alive
but do me a favor and see
that you can't always be your own savior
and do me a favor and see
that they can't always be the people you need them to be
it's one day at a time for you
one day at a time for you (3x)

most days you'd wake
you'd cry a paisley chain
of mistakes
and I'd say
most days I wake
I try my hardest not to break
and I hope you know
that we both should be happy I let you go
we couldn't breathe
come undone for me
love's suffering
come undone for me
we were never happy at the same time you know
and it took us so long to separate and finally be whole
come undone
make me whole
