Days Without Sun 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Days without sun add up Radiant light run out of me Days without sun add up Tally em unknown Days… days... Submarine on the subway Beached on vacation (whale beached) To the surface for a good look Fold the pages on a old book Splash the water my overwhelmed cup Look to the stars tank flowing over On a day with no shine I heard the sour note (no shine) Helped me correct Straighten the boat out Back on course from the side trip Hands on the wheel, closed a good grip Couldn’t tune this damn thing to save my life Only play when the TVs on Walls so thin let the neighbors in To the secret world of melody, Flittering birds in a plum tree (pomegranate) Unripe not ready, But fall where it may Didn’t miss that grapefruit slice at first Shine away neon sign

Soap and Bread 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Days of bites on legs are over For now - scratches of the past Bugs glowing lamp light as night creeps on Bats putting degrees to good use Get a good grip Its the day we take the can to the curb Next life is the one we deserve Hear the rattle of thunder could be anything Contact mike picking up the gold ring Get soap and bread

Haunted Attractions 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Breathe in check the fact sheet Consumed by haunted attractions The ride won’t slow down Lean tower of verge of collapsing Lazy ride down the river with sharks Jumping fish right for the heart Wistful in the roaring mist Consumed by the memories I've missed The gloom is my glue Painter sits at the northwest window Acrylic drying on brush Cement setting do not rush me Came to meditate on the unforked road Swoop down an unglamorous zoom Car blades are wiped out Rain sings against glass panel My favorite drummer back with the band Rhythm rises to find me solid frozen With my ever-loving head in my hands Ever-loving shoes in the sands Funhouse warp and distort me Contortionist funny feeling Letter to the lover of a long lost editor Write of regret and return to sensitive Here I check the fact sheet Consumed by haunted attractions The ride won’t slow down Lean tower of verge of collapsing And laughter from the other room Is the rumination my doom All of a sudden i’m in love with Falling in love with the pause button

Partial Undercurrent 05:40

Partial undercurrent August 2021 Perfected my hair in the car on the way to the party The setting spread out Each face I found staring blank back Eyes alert for the gleam of a missing key

Reddest Sheepdog 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Saw u at the scene change, liars around the fire Thought the sled would pull us through but our legs got tired The reddest sheepdog left his post, Echoes of the open field kissing the ghost Ears at attention, span the circumference. Off before the gunshot - what did I miss? (thought of it as nothing - I hate to admit it, look in the mirror and I’ll admit it) I thought these shoes would walk themselves but they were all heel Scales of justice on a shark Move, cutting through the water like a knife through a melon, Or u die!!

Gravity of the Souffle 04:03
lyrics
buy track
I brawled in a moment of weakness I beg for you to spite the darkness Gimme the judgement So I can bask in the will Weather ever changing Schedule re-arranging Lend me your umbrella So I can stand in

False Indigo 02:31
lyrics
buy track
False indigo won't you let me know Allow me roam find my own time capsule Solid ground consecrated and holy Total baloney - fake to the core don't you know me Each state of blue I pass through Car wash unrolled windows Patter of battery reaching out at me Grabbing for the essence that soaks through So fully breaking the grip of the grime That sticks to my past crimes I leave it behind

Long Range View 03:19
lyrics
buy track
The long range view.. Long range view. Fading out the city, rising cacti Ready for the long range view Telescope both eyes Steep slopes of alluvial cone Hike up the alpine Marking Telescope both eyes Long range view long range view Eat lunch much later In a crater shaped like a figure 8 Trinity can’t escape infinity Today tomorrow and the next place Watch myself moving in front of me Comfortable ghost Creeping along like the branch of a song Geist without a host Survey goes on forever, never make a difference Just compare stand back aware Patch of least resistance

Homing Instinct 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Drawn to the bank of the river Sturdy light pointed finger Guides me towards deliverance Just let the lesson linger When I arrive at the gleaming beacon I come home all alone Fridge door opens to an echo Blanks walls cold with stone Not a fish in the freezer Ice crystals still and beautiful Time is my own, how I choose Swimming over the grass on the lawn Home straight home run home straight home
