The Inedible Choke

what a way to find my way to
your house at a time like this
I can't believe how much I've missed this
I am halved and in some ways I'm less than
but this could be just the thing
to get me back out on my feet
but who's to say?
what a way to live on top or inside of a stack
what a way to hold you close instead of leaving slack
I know it may not seem like we're on track
take it how you want to I am back
xenoglossy words fall out of me
I'm tearing up the floor
I'm trying to find something much more than I usually
do you see what I hear? I fear I swear I called your name
at least I thought it might have been
but who's to say?
tell me all about it on the way home in your car
tell me about your favorite king or queen or sun or star
I know it may not seem like we're that far
it's just something that you know you have you are
the way it felt to lay beside you just before you woke
the way it felt to tear away the inedible choke
I know it may have seemed like I misspoke
tear away the inedible choke

Earthworm

some of the best things require effort, pressure, time
but it often seems to me it's just as good if it falls in line
I'm not ready to go yet—
when I'm with you I've never changed my mind
did you know that my heart was built to rush—
blood or otherwise
and lately it's easy to find
that you can have what you want
and all you've gotta do is ask for it and I'll be waiting
trudging in the mud like an earthworm boring
catch me with my feelings pouring
out of me and I'll try to remember
letting go feels the same as surrender
well it seems like yesterday that I believed I would never leave
now it seems like anyday could be the day that I'm able to see
did you know that I'm a pincushion—
the way your every word sticks with me
and did you know that surrender
can often feel the same as being set free
and it must be so easy to see

I can't tell my peaks
from my valleys anymore
I'll have to take your word for it
cause I'm miles and miles from the shore
to be vainglorious with you
is the only thing that I gotta do
when I need something to hold on to
it's the only thing that I gotta do
I remember what you said
but I've forgotten what you meant
I'll have to take your word for it
cause there's no time that I wouldn't spend

Softly Again
04:42
|

I'm waking up with salt on my eyes
wondering in which dream I must've died
think of a time when your smile was quiet
cause it's blinding me now to what I need to get by
I think a lot about the way this feeling has spread
the strangest moments seem to play and replay in my head
asking me if I believe in anything
then ask anything softly to let it ring
in my pocket snow melting around my ring
a little thing that seems to remind me of me and you
asking me if I believe this feeling is true
then ask anything softly again for you
my heart is rushing ahead
and I've got no choice but to follow it

Basin
04:58
|
|||
the walls of this house
have become very soft
and I am pushing through
to let my soul aloft
take it all from me
I cannot believe
how quickly this whole thing
has turned itself around
time cannot contain
the snow in the juniper shade
or the way this basin looks
today filled with rain
