Memory Loss

I left the lights on in the car
'cause yours turn off on their own.
Found my battery dead in the cold
and I walked five miles home.
You once woke me and told me-
“the window's been open all night,”
betrayed, like I let the light in
uninvited, like an unknown stray.
Now I'm awake and I'm crawling
out the window like a teen
face down in the gravel, searching
to be lost- for silence in my ears.
There's a spider inside my mind,
a rustle behind my eardrum,
cobwebs where I forgot to dust
and its musty and cluttered
back in the dark.
I swore I saw it
in the corner of my eye.
I swore I saw it, back in the dark
it's not a flaw to forget.

Slow

listen to them shouting down the hall
radio and tv at the same time
wonder why you’ve felt so behind
there's something making you falter
there’s something slow in the water
there's something creeping in
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow
there’s something slow in the water
it's seeping in your skin
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow
it’s deafening, pressing in on you
you can’t shut out all the noise
you only have your own voice
it’s okay to want to be softer
there’s something slow in the water
there's something creeping in
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow
there’s something slow in the water
it's seeping in your skin
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow
there’s something slow in the water
there's something creeping in
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow
there’s something slow in the water
it's seeping in your skin
there's something slow in the water
theres something slow

are you healing?
are your bruises fading?
you keep throwing yourself on the floor
ask me for help
I’m so close now
when you're hurting you ask for more
are you healing?
do you feel alive?
you keep holding your hand in the fire
can you hear me?
we've been here before
when you're hurting you ask for more
and I know it's hard to say when
and I know it's hard to quit
you can't know when the last time is the last
'til after you've decided you wont look back
and I know it's hard to say when
and I know it's hard to quit
you can't know when the last time is the last
'til after you've decided you wont look back

Winter

All my blues glow yellow sun
low on the horizon, cold.
Born in retrograde
mercury dropping below.
Zero light, inside or out.
Huddle in the snowfall
hibernate in my mind
curl up on your tummy like a cub asking:
where will you be in five years?
Tell me all your existential fears
I bet they’re holding hands with mine,
tell me - where will you be in five years?
Bright night, moonlit snow
sparks fly from the fire we light,
melt deep to the heart of dirt
remind me of the earth beneath us.
Tell me, where do your memories go
when you’re not tryin’ to dig ‘em up, tell me:
where will you be in five years?
Tell me all your existential fears
I bet they’re holding hands with mine,
tell me - where will you be in five years?
Where will you be in five years?
Tell me all your existential fears
I bet they’re holding hands with mine,
tell me - where will you be in five years?
