Ohh 02:41
Oh, so slow. Impossibly soft.

Poughkeepsie 02:35
I'm going. Northbound, son. Take me to Poughkeepsie, take me to Poughkeepsie. Let me ride. I'm on my train, you're on my mind. I'm going. Northbound, son. Take me for a ride, take me to Poughkeepsie and form a poison hive. You were never one, but you were certain fun. I'm going. Northbound, son. Take me to Poughkeepsie, take me to Poughkeepsie and let me have my hide. Escape with what I know if that was all I had.

Dying States 04:57
Sleeping through some dying states. Dreaming of what once was greatness. My delay in getting away your hanging something over me like a ghost just above on his dying day. Something leads to everything. Everything is what I mean when I said "I need" Not a part of you and a piece of me.

PeRSON 06:00
All the people that I know *really* know are hard to know. Person leads a quiet life in a home. Could you know? All these creatures are moving forward to take something they smell on us. One a poet and one a painter Painting portraits of mortal danger. And one lender and one a taker, one who knew me and one a stranger. And one a healer from television who tells me that my eyes aren't working. And one a former lover with packed hands in solvent like a secret potion. And one a runner and one a standstill. One a father who knows my feelings. And one a general and one specific whose name I knew once but since forgotten. And one a master and one above him whose moving parts, disgusting puppet. And I'm a builder of certain fortress and certainty, I certain promise.

Missile 04:30
We were not singing, we were just talking. We were not running, we were just walking. My love, my love , my love there is no just in us. You take your picture, I'll have the red one. One of the colors I have forgiven. My love, my love, my love there us no just in us. You organizer, me with a footprint. You put our things in colorful boxes. My love, my love, my love wrapped in a bow was us. Do you remember when we were younger? I was a missile, you were my target. Fixing my sights on a pin of a spot from a world away. Maybe some federal man come through and take all my land. But I am a family man Don't need a house for a home. So I will ride on the rails looking for you in a song. Trade in my wings for some wheels to cart off all of my fears

with you, I feel I am prepared for high water, mama.

The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping you hadn't had experience in this world yet. It makes me wonder about the science of thinking, it makes me wonder about the lives that you've led. It makes me wonder if there's someone who knows you and knew me as well but isn't telling you yet. The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping, do angels kiss your lips and tickle your head? Well I don't know. My girl's tall, she makes tall girls. Once we went down for a walk in a town with a high population of bird life. You were so wide-eyed, your eyes say to me "I'm learning that sand is the hardest to dig, I keep digging my hole, it keeps caving in. And the problems get big and the bigger they get, so do fears and the thoughts that will come with them." Like, "I live in a country I don't understand anymore I'm afraid and I'm locking my door and I'm beating my brains on a learning rock and I can't pay my rent and I can't get a job." And, "I'm looking for more, it keeps breaking my heart. I'm pinning my hopes on a spinning thing. What I want is house with a white picket fence, what I need is a God, not a diamond ring." Or, "Will I stay gold to my mom and my dad and my friends? How I long to so." But for now you are small and you're in my heart and you'll be there forever. That's all I know.
