Finally 03:22
I’m wrong and I know it But not willing to show it ‘Til finally, finally I break the string Which one way was better? See neither, know never? Tied twice to be tethered in two? Finally Finally I learn to tell the truth to myself I wrote every letter but sung them much better But when will I learn to make you sing? Finally Finally I learn to tell the truth to you Finally, finally Finally, finally Finally I learn to tell the truth

Garter Snake 03:35
Sold Saturday’s blues for a Sunday hue Maybe a moment too soon Now: new, alone, and awake, I am a garter snake blending my color with you Fortune favors my weakness I was never a fake But almost halfway there Moving myself along and knowing that I’m wrong Eating my dining room chair I am addicted to indecision I am addicted and I feel wicked Does history repeat? It could be sweet but not a weekend repair The crime is knowing nothing at all And standing 7 feet tall Trapped in the mirror again I’m fucking no one at all and staring straight at the wall Its something I used to do What pleasure I choose to keep after I buried it deep Try to uncover it all I am addicted to indecision I am addicted and I feel wicked New, alone, and awake, I am a garter snake New, alone, and awake, I am a garter snake

Let me know when you go Let me know when you go I’ve got a mouthful of glass and no one to ask I’ve got a mouthful of glass and no one to tell about it There’s something here
4.
Golden Boy your ma’s greatest joy Hiding the butt of your cigarette Not a word, your thoughts Knitted and purled Neatly wrapped over your shoulder You’re much too young to face The barrel of a gun Sidling up to your doorstep Golden yes, now just wishes at best I never got to know you Saw your face, neither time nor a place A picture upon her mantle Saw her cry a handful of times Wondering who you’d have been You’re much too young to face The barrel of a gun But you’re not the first, nor the last Frozen time now forever a child As I grow you stay just the same
5.
One day I’ll find a house where we could live Shut your eyes, quiet night in weeping hands Tree of life with ripened vines that bear no fruit Turn away, feeding fire, and wasting heat Honeycomb, soft unknowing gritted teeth Canopy, covered island, warm and sweet Heaving sigh, wine and rye, that rings in tune Gone away, nervous laughter, fitted sheet One day I’ll find a house where we could live

What will I do if it never amounts to you? I try to walk away When I don’t know what to say about you What will I do if it never amounts to you? I walked away But I wanted you to stay You didn’t ask for me So I thought i needed something more I guess I did But was I worth moving for? I see you on the street In open air and in my core I feel a rhythm Of a song i knew before What will I do if it never amounts to you? I try to walk away When I don’t know what to say about you What will I do if it never amounts to you? I walked away But I wanted you to stay I didn’t say the things That I know now I’m through the door I didn’t know myself When will I know myself? It complicated me, I’m not alone in this I know It was a habit I’d like to break all of those now What will I do if it never amounts to you? I try to walk away When I don’t know what to say about you What will I do if it never amounts to you? I walked away But I wanted you to stay

Tone Pome 01:55
Snow falling on the ground Doesn’t make a sound Paints a living portrait in the window Of my living room Speak when there is nothing left to say When words evolve from clay They sink into your bones And they find a way to stiffen you As they often do I couldn’t hold a thought A memory in rot Now delicate and frail Time, meet me in the pale Alternating when It soon begins to bend Snow falling on the ground Effervescent town Riding in the spring to bring another wound To bloom again Fold in upon the Earth Reverse internal birth Reborn until the end Catch, still a moving part Weathering the start Echoing a wren
8.
Wash It Away 05:29
Don’t lie The notes are on the page Waiting every day For a fuller life A statement lying bare Behind closed eyes Wish it wouldn’t bother Staying under water When they must rise When the world is ending And there is no pretending That it’s alright now It was cruel to be so kind I must admit I’m through with it And wash it away Finding the key To get rid of me And wash it away Sunlight Drifting through the curtain Showing where the hurt is So it won’t bite A reel without a lure is just a fool’s fight What’s another word for leaving things unheard Without the right line? When your heart is breaking And there’s no mistaking That you’ve done wrong now It was cruel to be so kind
