Some pseudo philosophic shit,
About how everything means nothing,
and nothing means everything.
How are those trees in the clearing you?
How sharp intakes of breath you?
I don't want to leave, to breathe, to want, to need.
Every day is worth it, every breath is ours.

Lake Michigan - Predawn
03:47
|

|
You would swallow the world for me,
For me again.
But I am pale and sickly,
Falling down to your feet,
Evading eyes and lips.
Filter downstream and end up lost and weak,
At my knees.

Lake Michigan - Peak
04:50
|
|||
|
Swing from snowcapped pylons,
Run through yellow cornfields.
Long grass and hot coffee,
Drenched in sweat and summer fallouts.
“I’ve been writing lots again.”
“I’ve been feeling lost again.”
It feels like that lake,
Will never freeze again.
It feels like all those paths,
will be gone when I turn round.

Hopelesstown - Smitten
02:25
|

|
they say a pessimist is an optimist with experience,
that everything happens for a reason,
but I'd have to disagree with that,
because evidently, things have been happening to me
I've been in and out of love,
out of my own bed,
off it with the world,
into people like you
she woke up with a smile,
donned a floral dress for a dreary day,
she didn't understand all the fuss,
little did she know my fuss was for her then

Hopelesstown - Other
02:16
|
|||
|
bury me - in the wet soil of
the places we've been,
and been without
(I've been without)
cherish me,
as I have you,
feel my cold hands - against your skin
your face;
half brazen, half curious
and a little bored I guess

Hopelesstown - Spring 2
03:00
|
|||
|
I'll meet your friend outside the library,
it was spring,
and you smelled guilty,
so I wrote your name across the overpass
we're delirious,
twirling through the confusion,
you're so serious,
with me
reach for my better half,
only to slip and fall,
as the sun sets on our town,
which never existed
we're delirious,
swimming through the confusion,
and we're so serious,
with eachother
