eric took a knife
cut off his arm at the bone
but no one noticed
only for my eyes and ears where the secrets were told
and sent down to the river
to leave us and pan it for gold
eric's just fine
there never was blood on the tide of his old
old polyester
and he took the space where the arm used to be
and he wrapped it around and around
til there was no more rest of her!
and i'll be gone
and i'll be gone!
i'll charge through that wood door out into the front lawn
and throw this silly world out into the big sun
and we'll all live in eric's invisible arms

sing something strong
flow thoughtful, waterfall and long
tendentious yawn
repeats forever it goes on and on and on and on
she's left the room please stop the song
daisy you're the girl i never knew
there will be no one before or after you
highlight skies and it was beautiful
i saw it all before june was gone
and i saw you, and i saw you
you fall from high, you have no weight
you hit the ground and float away
oh if you knew, oh if you knew
i saw it all
under the falls

The Day We Met (Improv)

*This song was improvised in the middle of the night*
well i was there and you were scared
and no one left you on a train
i wasn't left out in the rain
i was known and someone wasn't leaving all the same
but i was leaving, i wont ever play this game
i was scared and someone left
i always got the best of you
there was nothing, nothing you could do
i was known to be alone, i have no home
so i just roam and roam and roam...
well the day we met it was the same i felt about you then
that i will feel about you when this all begins
and i saw you in the t.v. there and
you had the strangest colored hair
i remember that about you
oo woo oo
oo woo oo
well i loved you then and i love you now
and i'll love you when i'm falling down
that seems to happen all the time
i wont ever open my eyes when im asleep
i dont wanna be asleep, but i don't wanna wake up
i don't wanna wake up from this dream
it's you and me
oh its you and me
and thats the way its been since i was ten
i remember you then and you arent the same
as you are now but i still see you in my brain
i loved you then and i love you now
and i'll love you when we're all around
but no ones really there, and you're not scared
and i'm not scared

Dallas Doesn't Love You

well maybe dallas doesn't love you
that's a small blip on the atlas spin it round and try again
mine is at lightning speeds and never ever slowing down
when did this building eat my house and go to sleep
stir of a mouse and there's nothing left to
see lost in the hallways there's no lights to wake you up
i need to wake you up
well theres a room across the street, through thick concrete
and wire fences in the dark is where you sleep
stands guard, a monolith, won't ever let you out or let me in
why can't i just break through the walls and maybe then
defense would fall and light would resonate within
your favorite sounds would flood your ears again and love would find it's way inside your broken skin
i need to wake you up

Plastic Gold

nothing's worth fighting for
all alone, broken home
nothing's worse than open eyes
and billboard words, flightless birds
well i'm a loud little radio, or so i'm told
so i'm told
the light breaks all
around my skin, never comes in
waiting for so very long
right or wrong, always gone
there's always something to be told
little radio, growing old
plastic gold
