lyca song 03:35
i was in the moon, i was bathed in it too you're looking mighty bright in the laser light sworn it all before, not gonna fall for that racing around, all the way down and back the scruff of my neck the tongue of my cheek you're not my mother but i'll let you she was already gone when i met you hours in the rain and the queen anne's lace she was on her side in a tired mind and the breaths were short, just like a medal porch swing seat with every little cough, something shutting off on beat abandoned for dead on albemarle street you're not my mother but i'll let you i've got no other and i'm wet through from the stuff in my head to the jump in my feet i had 9 lives and i left you, but I would never have tried to forget you
2.
you don't sleep as tight and i can't sit back alone hard to feel aright in the reaches of your throne in the reaches of your throne but you know we never had a hundred hideaways and you always could find your brothers for the coming back inside time of day i'm sorry i'm just like the others i'm sorry i'm just like the others was a perfect fight never got to the core don't it feel alright when it leaves you wanting more when it leaves you wanting more but you know we never had a hundred hideaways and you always could find your brothers for the coming back inside time of day i'm sorry i'm just like the others i'm sorry i'm just like the others ah but we're singing for you

clown car 03:31
yellow roads going all night froze in the throes of the green-red light the golden coal and the diamond heist of the clown car and i was poised for an exit bid if you looked sad but you never did satisfied in the tireless skid of the clown car but if i'm alright then we're all alright and if you're alright then we're all alright and if i'm alright then you're alright and we're all alright aah arms in arms in the green-red thrall couldn't say where your eyelids fall couldn't say you were here at all in the clown car and i was poised to feel the glow of all these strangers i guess i know and the chevron white of somewhere to go in the clown car but if i'm alright then we're all alright and if you're alright then we're all alright and if i'm alright then you're alright and we're all alright aah

famous 03:38
the kids were all at beck and call, you could tell them all apart they knew a lot about it all and they knew it all by heart oh yeah they should have been famous remember lee at 17, had yet to leave a mark his sister made the magazine and he sat in the dark but yeah he should have been famous hold a little tighter when she goes a little higher so come on hold a little tighter when she goes a little higher so come on and after all the alcohol and dancing on the lawn string lights wrapped up in a ball and set aside til dawn i drifted to the rise and fall, you sang into my arm oh yeah we should have been famous
5.

boxed wine 03:29
the boys in your hair and me on the shoulder the sorriest scare would've sent me hill running but i was living for your legend a table too big to bet in and the ruse was the room, or the way you would walk through and you were the muse, or the one they could talk to if i was to learn my lesson and if you were to let the best in chute cold wrapped bone i was in the state of texas boxed wine, some light we were staring at the ceiling dark cage, 2008 you were only happening to me in history i followed my docent, all clumsy and tooth-faced as moment by moment was spoiled by my suitcase that i was in love to lessen and i was too tired for guessing chute cold wrapped bone i was in the state of texas boxed fine, summer fine we were staring at the ceiling laying waste, 2008 you were only happening to me in history chute cold flagpole i was in the state of texas boxed wine, always right we were staring at the feeling a torn page blown safe you were only happening to me

frogs 03:48
we both woke up early on someone else’s couch drove still drunk on main street with no one else around our bodies quickly freezing, yeah we were older now new years eve was beautiful we’d dressed for the event got some wine on my tie so good thing it was red you just smiled while certain things came unglued in my head how we sat like frogs in that spot on the rug it hurts to know, my love you always were a wallflower but i always would forget we’d go for walks on saturdays all clouded with regret you were something different i hadn’t fucked up yet your mindset was a mystery I found it hard to gauge i often would make speeches how we weren’t on the same page you never knew I slept around, i guess I haven’t changed I hate when you smoke as you’re aware, I’m sure and it hurts to know, my love my love we fell asleep a second time the sun was coming in my cell phone softly nudging that it had to be plugged in some neighbor couldn’t start his car, the engine sputtering i ran across that length of bone it hurts to know, my love can’t hold my love can't hold my love just can't hold
9.
i'll try to keep my sadness on straight, one eye love come up here to watch it turn late, one eye love used to have more stories than these, cut off at the knees i swear tell me it's all lit up tall, one eye love down along the museum mall, one eye love feel that fifth avenue breeze and feed me your seaside prayers got my hand full of leaves but the gesture just seems so spare took them out friday to get waterphones tugged by the train and the skin of my bones always was blind when it came to my love feel you in light turning under your coat dashed all my dreams and i'm racing them home and everyone's cheering but every record i hold has an asterisk coming after it pulled it like a picture of you, one eye love stole it like the stairs down to your room, one eye love miles from the traveler's post, see it hovering in snow and air i tripped over your ghost, was it me who left it there small bundle of clothes, was it me who left you bare took them out friday to get waterphones tugged by the train and the skin of my bones always was blind when it came to my love feel you in light turning under your coat dashed all my dreams and i'm racing them home and everyone's cheering but every record i hold has an asterisk coming after it

nightday 03:10
offered some and i was shrugging please i was fucking rubber ducking everything carving colors in the summer seat wishing all the wishes all were free the clouds that we found are down in the ground now wearing your warm shade where i was always bound stay out and slide babe, we got our own dance hall welcome to night day, welcome to the slow fall welcome to night day offered some and i was shrugging please i was fucking loving all the sympathy feel the fury of the hurricane wishing all the wishes all away the clouds that we found are down in the ground now wearing your warm shade where i was always bound stay out of sight babe, we got the whole damn hall welcome to night day, welcome to the slow fall welcome to night day, welcome to the slow fall
11.
like most things, you didn't choose it drifted into it until you got caught up in the ties of the heartstrings swelling with music no sudden movements or you're straight to the back of the line not your part of town, no you're just rooming among the humans with no curtains or places to hide all your heartstrings tethered the evening when you were leaving you raised your hand, a not quite goodbye to the back of the line and then the ferry boat comes while you're sleeping she sees you dreaming and warms and lifts you up like a child and all your heartstrings are swirling after all that you'd ask her, you know before you open your eyes you're at the back of the line

hello 02:44
poetry is hard when we're smoking weed just catching all your high thoughts, the scrolling feed i don't fix nothing at all just set at some table sipping a straw and if you want to put yourself there hello how far we fall for whom we love hello how strong we are when we're above hello comedy is hard feeling this need missing all your right flaws to cause a scene i don't think it moves at a crawl the splitting of a cable you're pulling taut and if you want to put yourself there hello how far we fall from whom we love hello how strong we are when we're above hello i don't plan the years in advance because it's all the same but i think i thought our kids would call each other names
