Finery

It’s what I know you’re clothed in only sunlight and your flesh
So I’ll bring the breeze and then you’ll need to close up all the rest
Your shoulders shown and makeup thick until there’s nothing left
I still see you, I still see you
You’re gonna learn me, you’re gonna learn me only, hopefully
Don’t fold your hands and go to sleep
You’re going hungry, you never need be, only needing me
You’re wearing empty dressed up finery
Hush, you’re blushing, cover up, there’s worry on your face
Culture’s kept and blessed men believe in awful things
You dance until your feet both bleed, I wanna hear you sing
I still see you, I still see you
You’re gonna learn me, you’re gonna learn me only, hopefully
Don’t fold your hands and go to sleep
You’re going hungry, you never need be, only needing me
You’re wearing empty dressed up finery
Wear the ring, the clothes, they’re gifts for you to have, to hold, to know
Even in the end you’re my own
Waste and want make all the bold become the one’s that they don’t know
It’s cold, you’re coming home

Bed Down

You know? In moments of weakness I could want you
But you don’t make the shape or the blood of anything
Swear and shake, but you will not take, you will not take me
Put away that look, I burned
Every touch you took
I won’t be tasting you
I know, you never gave a damn about me
I know your body, all of the appeal & and all the pain
I won’t bed down with such a hate,
Well at least, at least not anymore
Put away that look
Gathered and thrown away
Every touch you took
I will not taste you anymore
I’ve been held too well since i left
Put away that look
Gathered and thrown away
Every touch you took
I burned
Put away that look
Gathered and thrown away
Every touch you took
I’ve learned
And I won’t be tasting you
No more

Catalogue
03:17

Everything old is sewn up
Sometimes you heal, when I tear down
Sometimes you’re ripping my stitches out
Catalogue everyone else
Each cut rate kiss, my discount mouth
So scared, too much of me fooled around
Ain’t like it really is
Cheap like we were as kids
Clean, on our way back to new now
Growing a heart takes a while
I’d rather this be quick somehow
But you’re fine with the pace of my turn around
All that I am alone
Is true, who I am at home
New, on my way back to you now
Back to you now
Press against me with your chest
I feel your tempo less
Than I ought to, be still won’t you
Wait, mean the things you say
You’re promised, honest, safe
I’m never not the same, it’s you that moves
It’s you that moves
Everything old is sewn up
Sometimes you heal, when I tear down
Sometimes you’re ripping my stitches out

Makeshift
04:15
|

Behold, the way you’re feeling
You put a robe on everything
And it aint right, but you crown emotion instead of holding me as king
It’s only thin, it’s only pain, it didn’t make or give your name
Notice your reflection, it’s your face
Amen, make amends
Makeshift break and bend
Time you will not spend alone
Hydrangea soft, but violent
You’re busy seeking other things
I don’t know why, but honesty rarely honestly makes it back to me
I haven’t left, you haven’t tried, I haven’t changed and I won’t tonight
Sit and talk, stay with me, it’s alright
Amen, make amends
Makeshift break and bend
Time you will not spend alone
Alone
I never fall outside of love
I never fall outside of love
I never fall outside of love
I never fall outside of love

Gold
03:47
|

Covered in gold, forgetting my skin
I recall you, I recall when
Pulling your shirt, up over your head
Laugh and get stuck, get stuck in bed
All that I do is a shadow of you and the light you make
I’m turning my face away from the shade
Swaying on cue, I’ll be mimicking you and the way you shake
You’re a difficult love, I’m a narrow escape
All of my clothes, none of which fit
Bringing back us, meeting as kids
Covered up red, figured out fame,
Honor your death, making my name
All of my guilt and the way that I’m built, I don’t sleep so well
All of that hope, the end of a rope
Swinging on cue, I’ll be mimicking you and the way you fell
When I know what you know, it’s an easy let go
All that I do is a shadow of you and the light you make
I’m turning my face away from the shade
swaying on cue, I’ll be mimicking you and the way you shake
You’re a difficult love, I’m a narrow escape.
You’re a difficult love, I’m a narrow escape.
Covered in gold, forgetting my skin
I recall you, I recall when

Bourbon
03:54
|

Overcome by bourbon and ordinary talk
All the things that own us are smaller than we thought
Posture and pose and flex and pretend
That nobody knows how much we give in
All the waking moments, choosing who to serve
As for me and my house, we fluctuate and learn
Chemical built or marble and carved
Blood’ll be spilt and all of it’s ours
Not one we make can help
We yell we cut ourselves
Every half-assed promise, every running mouth
“Think before you speak, son”, I haven’t figured out
Bridle and bit, saddle and tack
Which is the beast and who’s on its back
Not one we make can help
We yell, we cut ourselves until we see
Where it leads, where it leads
We melt our golden jewelry,
I am overwhelmed, I am over
I am overwhelmed, I am over
I am overwhelmed until I see
Overcome by bourbon and ordinary talk
All the things that own us are smaller than we thought

Until Tomorrow
02:45
|

I’m a forever type of person
You kinda like my courtesy
You say that I can stay, until tomorrow
Well a “one night’s” a fine start for me
Honey, you haven’t measured round your finger
And you’ve never tried on my last name
But you’re saying I can stay until tomorrow
Just an evening, to make you glad I came
You’re used to love that comes with ways of ending
You only know the ones who leave (at dawn)
A one-night stand
And my slow hand
Is all it takes…ooohhhhooo
And you’re saying I can stay until tomorrow
Well I bide my time and wait patiently
So you know, I want it all eventually

Bon Temps
03:28
|

Upon a time, you live in a parish where
Flooding comes, he’ll kiss you to keep you there
Bon temps breaking, breathing’s getting scarce
Water come to call, on you
Jealous after all, me too
Switching lovers, is easy, for you, not me
You say I’m quiet, pot calling kettle black
You never write, you’re bad at the aftermath
So you stepped out, you can take it back
Water come to call, on you
Jealous after all, yeah, me too
Baby, come see, to me, levee fixed
Go by…my place
Go by my place
Go by my place
Water come to call, on you
Jealous after all, me too
Bon temps breaking, you been getting scared,
You won’t drown unless you’re here

Unfold
03:37
|

Close touch, nearly, enough to feel you breathe
Stay close, hiding, then unfold to me
All, I break when I fall, everybody hangs up
Mine, taking your time, wanna make my mind up
Years spent trying, wanna hear you speak
Dragged out silence, all & only me
Gone, I know I’m wrong, I’m the one who held up
Soon, make enough room, for you and I to make up
Please, worried that I might leave, when you offer me the best of everything
…You been waiting up on me
Missing, constant, everything I’ll be
Take, habit and pace, everything at face up
Mine, taking my time, already made your mind up
Please, worried that I might leave, when you offer me the best of everything

Each to Each

If we’re growing old, let us be
Marrow carry underground, shade and sinew, settle down
If we got a while, on borrowed time
Death can wait impatiently, the dog has caught him up a tree
And i’ll remind myself & my bride
I came here for the fight
I came here for the fight
The world is never right
I came here for the fight
Measure out a life, both of ours
Arguments and coffee spoons, dancing in the living room
Every tiny word you sent to me
Kept and keeping even still, finger written window sill
I breath, it shows, what we both know
I came here for the fight
I came here for the fight
The world is never right
I came here for the fight
You are mine
We can take our time
Mm-mm-mm-mmmmm

Tell you what our love’s like, west texas in the rain
Pretty under lightning, empty under day
I can feign our closeness, but lit up spider veins
Glowing on my missteps, showing who to blame
I don’t know if I, ever make it through
Then again I don’t, own a love so true
I wanna say, “I’m sorry”
You say, “I know you do”
But you can let it go, it’s up to you
Oh, I can’t soldier on
So cold, won’t take me long
Go, but before you do
Pull me close, in to you
I don’t know if I, ever make it through
Then again I don’t, own a love so true
I wanna say, “I’m sorry”
You say, “I know you do”
But you can let it go, it’s up to you
Darling, I’ve been using faulty metaphor,
Forgotten where it’s buried and who the treasure’s for
Tell you what our love’s like, it’s a great restart
Whereupon you fall for, me and my double-heart
