Brute Force
03:57
|
|||
The car smells like piss
And orange slices
Zoned out at the corner market entrance
Or aging gracefully
As a prop
As a gutted building
It comes around less often
We don’t know you like that
Nothing’s owed you like that
An easy joke, I noticed you misspoke
But you’re not misunderstood, you’re just awful

Atone
Bite my tongue
Start again real slow
Do I treat you awful
When I leave my body?
We’re born different
You were always above
True hacks take it easy on themselves, and I won’t do it
Pollen
Blue-green paint
Residue from old tape
Whether I know or I don’t know
Resign to wrestle out or outgrow

Fitting Room
03:43
|

It was a hatchet job, I came in first and left last
Trying to be thorough
Overslept again and let the dishes all stack
Building your cathedral
You’re looking for an out, and it’s fitting you look in the well-lit places
Brittle, green-yellow
Pressed against the red clay on our feet
Tried to exit quietly
The whole house bending
60hz and throbbing endlessly
Was it all conditioning?

Nudge
02:10
|
|||
Fetishize the past and now you get to live it
The snake creeps back soon as you forgive it
Fetishize the past and now you get to buy it
The snake creeps back soon as it gets quiet
I’ve forgiven a lot of things
Never man-made scarcity
Driving past a row of empty buildings

Fir

|

Creatures of habit
Call me when you haven’t run back to where the pain is
I get it, I just can’t laugh with it
It never worked for me

Treading
05:25
|
|||
Red clay, treading water at the lake
Northeast Georgia, four to a backseat
Every summer I get closer
Hardest part of a new life
Reconcile the old one sober
Even just one night
Cloud-eyed stray cat let inside
Peers out, drizzle, asleep on the couch
|

Trail
01:58
|
|||
Trailing off when you talk at all
Should’ve waited til the morning for those pills
Trying not to sound concerned checking in
You’d take that wrong
Tell a story, your eyes half-closed
Recognize it as a play I had to read
Effortless, but honestly,
What do you get out of this?
Effortlessly
Effortless, but honestly,
What do you get out of this?

Bench Seat
03:43
|

I assume
You won’t remember me
So I’ve been workshopping my thousand-yard stare
To jog your memory
All you contain would be lost on me
Better I stay slumped in the backseat
And I assume
Nothing I do lasts
We’ve been preserving your childhood chess set
To sell you on the past
All night went down like you saw in a dream
Recreate the room from memory
And I can tell by the slant of your letters you mean it this time
I’m a stain dried in your clothes, a guard rail viewed up close
Every streak of paint shows
Far too close to leave clean
