staring into my golden dreams
staring backwards and in between
somebody wants you around
a pick up game to make me proud
somebody wants you around
another line and i'll steal it now
standing outside of the show
i play cards it's what i do
golden silence dissolves
someone new but wait don't call

give it back
all the time you wasted
go back to bed
all the dreams that scared you
you were never really here
and i’ll stay on my phone where i am safe from thought
it never happens like the way i want
pay it back
what’s this time you’ve wasted
i’m down on my ankles
trying to make myself last
when you shut up and fall back asleep
what are you gonna do when there’s no one for you to hold onto
i am just some friend that you are too scared you might hold onto
johnny selfish
lies i’m falling
into nothing that can end like scripture
will you shut up and fall back asleep
touching something doesn’t mean that you mean that much to me
cause i am right here
but i’m fleeting
give me your ears in them i’m whispering
i know what i have to do
now that i am nothing new
hollow but sometimes whole
sand inside a fragile bowl

in the kitchen melting legos
i am sick i am alone
under some skin doesn’t matter
i am sick i am alone
coasting
you’re a favorite one
but you’re come and gone
wake up in some morning
you are well and you are fine
call your mother on her birthday (i forgot)
sit inside unwind
somebody called you golden once
you’re my favorite one
but you’re come and gone
and when i am with my friends
i feel okay
all i want is for someone
call me the golden babe

Bad At Parties

it’s nothing like it was before
tell us what you wanted most
something sits in the side of my tongue
grass is growing on my thumb
tell us what it means to want
visiting all my old haunts
went to the party
i just sit on the back stairs
sitting outside foot in face
meet you at your grandmas’ place
something lies in the side of my lungs
hard to forget it when it comes
went to the party
i just sit on the back stairs
it’s nothing like you thought it’d be
what is it now that you see
that you see
golden me i could be free

when you coming over
will you tell me about
things you’ve been listening to
what it all means to you
i will tell a joke
about being free
reading when i can focus
starts with the letters abc
abc
i can see
i can see
just one more fight and i will make myself go home this time around
golden silicon
it isn’t in my head
notes covering my walls
hot in the morning i am leaning
into no one again
i should not be allowed
to love anything this much
guess i gotta learn sometime
sometime it’s right now
sometimes it’s next week
sometime october
when it’s all said and done
when it’s all said and done

knees hurt again but nobody minds
i come up with a new dance everyday
i will bike to the show and i will play
please take my memories they’re free
don’t ask me
someone again
admire your friends
unpack all your small animal figurines
i will go and say things that i don’t mean
water
and it is thinking more
about the one you were
adored
work all day
something is slowly
slowly
slowly
slower
slower
slower
slower i am so
slowly
going away
and it’s like trying to get the lighting right
in your new room
water
but it is thinking more
about the time you were
adored

now i’m just
pretty face to pick on
did you ever
think you were
think you were
think you were
some kind of treasure
lie you keep on glowing
lie you keep on glowing
don’t touch it
everybody knows you’re the weak
freak
everybody knows

Wow, Lucky

lillies painted out in gold
just another story told
when i am alone onto the next thing
getting bored
have you seen the pyramids
do you know how strong it is
just to be sitting here
to be yourself
to read now
i’m getting lucky wow
but not like in the funny way you’d think
how do you stop a sinking drain chain
and it’s like when you grow up tall
you don’t notice it at all
tarot card who will i be
i’ve gone to capadoci
sleep now
do i have to show you how
sleep now
do i have to show you how
i’m getting lucky wow

Soft Again

soft again
human chorus
soft again
holding out
late and you are tired
someone you’d admire
dried up hands
soft again
love this stance
tear a new
piece of cardboard i’ll get sharper
on the edge it’s just another
place to jump off
place to jump off
got it back
lock the track
happy you, nothing
left to do
early you are tired
saving face these liars
sing a song that will make sense
it is the only defense
a place to jump off
place to jump off
did you ask
did you ask
did you ask
why
did you think
did you think
how
early you are sleeping
no one to hear you dreaming

Nervous Yet

absess
i’ll think less
i still feel like a tourist
call you on the phone
things you take when you’re alone
walk you ‘round the block
chinatown bus
and i keep on biting the inside of my lip
when i’m not even nervous yet
ghost ship
tight lipped
kiss i’d give when i didn’t want to be intimate
and realize
how wise
you weren’t before
but if living is patience
and grief to rely on
then i’m not even nervous yet
but i’m alone and i am laughing
all alone and i am laughing
all alone but i am laughing
all alone but i am laughing
and i keep on biting the inside of my lip
when i’m not even nervous yet

oceans 12
plays on my bus with the sound on
you are a sad
you're nothing
with no light in your room
listening conversation
too fast too slow
listening conversation
too fast too slow
to bury large boxes
in a pile of snow
is to be working hard
is to be in the know
listening conversation
too fast too slow
glistening conversation
too fast too slow
lowly phase
caught up in a steam blaze
awake and running to look
for somebody else to chase
glowing lonely
as you stare off into space
a place to begin
outside a wheel spins
a place to begin
outside a wheel spins
