while you were sleeping on the couch i thought about walking out and driving back to the national park shouldn’t have made it a last minute thing to see the stars in cherry spring but that’s just me, showing up in clouds earlier on we stopped to brave a mangled bridge over a range of all the different shades of green but now you wouldn’t wait all night in case the weather app was right and it would clear up after three the wedding was the best one yet, my brother’s love was evident and my whole family fell for you meantime i’d been nervous for the speech i couldn’t bear to let you read but that’s just me, afraid to take advice almost entirely overcast, could only see one measly patch that drifted across the expanse you asked if i’d seen that before, tugging my eyes from the floor but that’s just you, pulling me to dance all the times i’ve laid awake and wondered which of us will break and if we’re just too different these might be the cards i hold the laundry i will never fold the grievances i will not put to bed until you come and find me in my head

midas 04:50
you have the midas touch feel the metal in everything been around long enough to have what you’re handling but you’ll lose it too the fool in you you’ll lose it too you have the midas touch and nothing will be the same it’s all getting through the glove anything you can name you’ll lose it too the fool in you you’ll lose it too you have the midas touch keep everything apart hold out for the taste of love hold out for the change of heart you’ll lose it too the fool in you you’ll lose it too

we set out for upstate on valentine’s day i bought you pretty flowers you had to hold the whole way the lovebirds up in front were flapping on about their love as i DJ’d from the back seat wishing somebody would turn the volume up we arrived well after midnight to the chateau in the trees her folks were set to sell the place so she spent the four nights torn between her privilege and grief i did okay the first day but i only got more fragile you tried including me with jokes and cutting digs that i would always then mishandle i would always then mishandle come on baby let’s unite the front let’s batten down the hatches though the only time we have alone is sleeping in the basement on a busted blow up mattress let’s sing out all our favorite songs let’s go and make it all about us let’s ruin all the goodbyes and show them at the wrong times how we look in the good light let’s move into the good light let’s take up all the good light

maine 04:08
was all the way to maine remembered it was yours the drumming of the waves the screaming of the shore and i was sure i could find it if no one was watching but i was blinded tidepool eyesore but i was light then i was light then i was light then i was light had to jump into the lake to feel how down it goes your secrets all are safe right there in a row in a row and all that i'd give through a fog unlocking couldn't hide it tidepool eyesore but i was light then i was light then i was light then i was light

is this that frozen garden you almost fall apart in but then you stone into a swan again and fly the fountain dry is this that goddamn garden i almost fall apart in but then i swing into a song and wonder why the fountain died is this that frozen garden that no one thought of starting that they let burn into a swamp and come july they'll say we tried

a book made me feel better about living so i bought a stone to commemorate the feeling and i didn’t seem to spiral when i had it in my pocket but then i lost it and that was part of what it meant took a walk and talked about what happened with this weekend was feeling all strong but then you got me on the defense but you said a lot of stuff that i’m excited to let seep in and then pretend that i thought of it myself or that i came across it in a book

feeling in figure eights cursing the city walls nothing accumulates and destiny never calls remember the church they made the roof that could not be built so they just left a hole and one day they found it filled we came to this full stop running lost our faith while jumping friends say they saw it coming but what do they know, little know it alls stepped off the new year floor needed another a breath it was an older tune the fogies were owning it was months till i said a word who knows what was in your head if i could get back there now don’t know what i’d do instead we came to this full stop running found our faith while jumping friends say they saw it coming but what do they know, little know it alls

the landing 03:17
oh my poet in the white grove my poseidon in the sea foam madhatter laughing patterns while you’re taking in the show don’t tell anyone i’m rattled plucking every flower petal as more chariots keep entering the battlefield below i want to find the landing be the one to find the landing and be defined by the landing i kind of want to be the landing then i want to hide the landing and someday die on the landing if i could only find the landing if we could only find the landing oh my mother gone too soon wish you could have heard the loon couldn’t bring myself to ask but then you showed up in the moon and my petty little secret, and i don’t know why i keep it, is i’m in it for the glory, i don’t care about the view

keep an eye on myself such a dummy ain’t it funny i can feel my felt talk in circles but the spin doesn’t help keep an eye on myself i’m camera cursed got a vision of the kitchen where i die of thirst close enough to somebody else to keep an eye only myself my rainbow’s wet i’m such a fuck in this fucking mess climbed up to the top of my shelf just to keep an eye on myself all to keep an eye on myself gotta keep an eye on myself
