you have the weight of dandelions
you have the weight of cowardly lions
i'm not gonna make demands
i'm not gonna make demands
you are so wise
you are working the light
do you know your own history?
what threads you pulled out of me?
well, can you put me back into solids?
can you fuck me back into solids?
is that your seismograph?
is that your seismograph?
how much did we move?
how much did we move?
did we move? did we move?
did we move?

sorry city
02:54

every time i go outside
i mute the world
i close my eyes
and walk right into folks i meet
and we say, we say, "sorry, sorry"
we say, we say, "sorry, sorry
i've been too long inside this city
sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
i didn't mean to interact with you.
i didn't mean to make you think i wanted to."
let's just forget we ever met
go back to living in our own heads
i promise i won't go outside again
again, again, again
so sorry, sorry city
we say it though its lost its meaning
sorry, sorry, sorry city
we say it til it loses meaning

lost light

sew a song for my sister
so we survived another winter
we don't have to talk about that night
i held your hand, you lost your light
bones break in the same place
bodies unravel & embrace
we walk together, though apart
i can hear her in my heart
hide away from the thunder
so we survive another summer
we don't have to talk about that night
you held my hand, i lost my light

there was a bad moon hanging over me
when i was asleep i couldn't even dream
except to see long lengths of trees
wrapped around me, bloody, at best
when i awoke, my wrists they spoke
of hidden wars in my head
looked for a latch to push it back
maybe in you i found that
there was a bad sun, got in my lungs
i coughed it up til it got dark
i closed my eyes again that night
saw tiny lights blink off and on
wanted to be like those light beams
that travelled down from the sky
but i am here
going nowhere
i am lost, lost, lost
in the feedback
i am lost in the feedback
i am lost in the feedback
i am lost in the feedback
what's an experience?
how do i know if i've had one?
what's an experience?
how do i know if i've had one?
what's an experience?
how do i know if i've had one?
what's an experience?
how do i know if i've had one?
maybe i won't go anywhere
who cares, not even me
i haven't time to divine
i'm too occupied with just staying alive
but to survive i must invite
the endless night into my room
and hold it close, though i don't know
if what it sings in my ear is enough
all that i know is singing slows
the thoughts that go 'round in my head
like: how do we fix any of this
when we admit we're complicit?
well, i am, too, what can we do
except kill time til it's too late?
but is it good to burn the wood
while for the end we wait?
hope is hard to have now, hit reset.
hope is hard to have now, hit reset.
hit reset. hit reset.
hit reset. hit reset.
