Novel

I'm writing a novel. A look into
The porticoes of my mind
Try it on. An arm at a time
Just an ink splotch on a page
Pick up my pen. Write something
Find the right words write them in
'Til I start it all again
Yeah
You've been spending these past few weeks orbiting yourself
It's easier to look at the past than to put it back up on a shelf, well
I don't know where to go, but ain't that a part of being free?
So will you help me to read the letters through the leaves?

Semaphores

Antlers caught in the branches
I'm just trying to get back home
With the windows down
And the A/C way high
Birdnest caught in the rafters
I'm just trying to get it down
A tangle of wires
Some foreign language I don't know
The feeling percolates the room
Why are you standing next to me
So tell me why
I bite my tongue and let it bleed
Let new scars form between my teeth
I used to lean into your voice
Carrying my name each day
Well, but now
You only speak in semaphores
Porch lights don't turn on anymore
Talking slow
The radio
Pushing through
But it's not you
Too hard to see the words to write
Or to release into the air
So I don't know
Why I can't find an open door
Before you up and close five more
The feeling percolates the room
I find myself again near you
It's just now
You only speak in semaphores
I recite shitty metaphors
Talking slow
The radio
Pushing through
But it's not you
Fading in
And out again
For something new
Afraid it's you

Selling childhood toys on Craigslist
Feels so weird
Haven't played with them in years
Remember I wanted to take the car and drive it
All the way to Canada
Still unsown fields
It's too easy to be bitter
Too hard to bite back my own tongue
And I'm here rearranging this library
Think it's best to say...
Watched the sun cave in against itself
A thousand horizons
All folded into one
Whenever I'm with you I don't have to worry
About my voice
Or anything I might say
Well it's too easy to be bitter
Too hard to bite back my own tongue
And I'm here rearranging this library
I think it's best to say...
I'm glad I'm here
