Beast and King
01:23

Beast you met me
King claw from the sky
Fuck the heights you spoke from
And the garden you ate from
And fuck me
Lord brought the beast clean the earth in sea

Water's No Crop
02:59

Water’s no crop I’d offer
I wished you’d offered first
Water’s no crop I’d offer
I wished you’d offered first
We live strictly for each other arrangements
Fend off lonely claims aimed to distract our verbal arrangements
Each day I cut my hair
Each day I cut my hair
Calendar fueled by the body’s crop
I’d like to be in your harvest
Keep the day’s growth in jars
I’d like to be in your harvest
Water’s no crop I’d offer
I wished you’d offered first
We live strictly for each other arrangements
Fend off lonely claims aimed to distract our verbal pursuits
I’m no grass bordered ocean neither dramatic nor desolate
No rare bird
Nor heavenly sent
Calendar fueled by the body’s crop
I’d like to be in your harvest
Keep the day’s growth in jars
I’d like to be in your harvest

Everybody Knows
02:38
|

Everybody knows
Past pictures brought past ghosts
Floral pattern pleased our partnered host
Lover your body’s brought to sad men
Everybody knows
Sad voices sing sad notes
Absent face and absent eyes
Her back bent and closed eyes
you are copper greening in open air
lover your body’s brought to sad men

your daughter called him love
She might’ve well been newborn but other men knew
that daughter ain’t my daughter
And I know how beauty looks
She’s girl behind your money
And the position she prefers
is a costume she’s worn for so long
And it ain’t no suit
And it ain’t no business of mine
I’m gonna focus on the frame
We saw walls grow
I’m gonna focus on the frame
We saw walls grow
Your romance was beautiful when framed
A well lit picture shows no sides
It bats eyes plays games and knew names
She’s girl behind your money
And the position she prefers
is a costume she’s worn for so long
And it ain’t no suit
And it ain’t no business of mine
My melancholy she expected
I’m gonna focus on the frame
We saw walls grow
I’m gonna focus on the frame
See sides of shapes
My home’s not large
We saw walls grow
I’m gonna call in sick
I got no reason to go in and
I’m gonna call in sick
Call up a girl I know

One kingfisher and a whippoorwill
Maybe I saw two

Heirloom Cloth
02:39
|
|||
Metals mine
Heirloom cloth
Words for tears
And pictures
Fabrics fine
Color touched
Pink in each
Tone
Rented room
First awake
Brighter blue
Bright green
Parallel
And then opposite
Over here
See

Animal Knew Love

Animal knew love
The child brought a new love
All done well
Prison got the man free
Your girl sold the family
All done well

Common Law
03:08
|
|||
Mirror me attractive songs
Common law said time brought truth
No don’t right these wrongs
Small town
Behave well
Behave for far too long
Keep me captive keep me pure
Mirror me attractive songs
A Childs not
Obliged to
Anything
Anything gone long enough
Became legal and the truth

We'll Ride in Your Car
03:13
|
|||
We’ll ride in your car
And let god decide
If buttons stay buttoned
If shoulders stay clothed for now
If barely you speak to the taylor who treated you
To loosely woven loosely laid
Taylor dressmaker body portrayed
All living
We’ll ride in your car
And let god decide
If buttons stay buttoned
If shoulders stay clothed for now
If barely you speak to the Taylor who treated you
All living

Palm Plant
02:58
|
|||
Where’s your night going I’d like to watch
Partner talking partner doing nothing at all
Buy fruit buy nothing written
Partner you partner me what’s written is enough for me
Write who your king be
Wild you may be
Who does your talking who kisses your feet
Who’s been growing who’s in need of light
Passion flower child taking
Palm plant waving the day away
Write who your king be
Wild you may be
My heart know nothing written

Cable to the Sky
02:45
|
|||
No shared space and a wire ran from you
Two hands and what they’re tied to
Cable to the sky
Cable to the sky
Each of your constraints brought new breeding
New life new bodies and old seeming
I took my things I took my family I took my car
Packed with lamp shades and milk crates and your bizarre baby girl’s kitten’s birthday dress
No shared space and a wire ran from you
Two hands and what they’re tied to
Cable to the sky
Cable to the sky
The only romance I know
Is from the midwest to the southwest
all your failures bought in gold
No shared space and a wire ran from you
Two hands and what they’re tied to
Cable to the sky
Cable to the sky
Cable to the sky brought a voice to me
The stove’s safe and it’s all my empathy
And I’m independent questions
and the mystery remains
Whether you separately repeat all my wondering

Indoors
02:14
|
|||
Painted boxes our love immobile I’m hiding with you
Glowing boxes micro systems micro climate
I want no movement I want you hiding I want you clear
All life be internal and indoors
I have no needs
Sounding brass and resonate reed
Games played and life made between four walls
Introduce through introductions
Introspective inspections
I want you to be unseen
I want you to be physically contained
I wanted you to be internal and indoors
I want you to periodically bury your hair
I want you to live in a sphere
I want music to be heard without sounding
I want to wear matching canvas clothes
I want to be unknown and unknowing
I want daylight to never change
I want our forgotten bodies to be nothing but clocks
I have no need to go outside

Thick Air
00:32
|
|||
It’s no dark room and it’s no secret
Lowly whitewashed and quiet resolve
Precise as she might be vocal
Patience pushed past thick air

Luxury
02:59
|
|||
I’d like to be your luxury
Adorn your waring tools
And ornament on your tree
Seated with silver and wearing your jewels
The taste of meat and cream
Follow you to sights unseen
And what can we do with these rich times
Serving me serving you
Citrus and sweet
Worry by me you will find three moves back to two
Pattern please you I will give you each day a new
Call on me come court me
New additions and simple decision
Id gladly serve your severity
I’d like to be your luxury
Worn for wearing with no need
Purposeful leisured purposefully
And what can we do with these rich times
Serving me serving you
Citrus and sweet
Worry by me you will find three moves back to two
Pattern please you I will give you each day a new
