Lake Song

i was born in a lake
but it all dried up in a heatwave
now i wait for a rain
to fill it back up so i can have a drink
well this is what i got
it's not if i have or have not
lately i forgot
Big Man comes down
sees what we've done
when it's time to tell him how it all went down:
it's just the price we paid to say we won
"well this is what we got
and hey, we gave it our best shot"
now that nothing can't be bought
but until it comes back to me
i'm in half
until it comes back to me
i'm in half
until it comes back to me
i'm in half
until

It Was
04:13
|

that abstract unknowable longing
it mainly comes at night
you can identify
but you can’t describe
it was a good evening
but i ruined it
too fucked up again
what do you do for work?
do you like it there?
do you think you’re helping the earth?
or do you do it just because you’re scared?
it was a good evening
did i ruin it? i was talking to a friend
it was a good weekend
but i couldn’t stop
thinking about how it was gonna end
it was a good evening
but i ruined it too fucked up again
it was a good feeling
but i couldn’t stop
thinking about how it was gonna end

Light In
04:11
|

|
can you bring me something else love
cause the last one didn’t help much
and i’d be lying
if i said that i needed more
and maybe it’s the timing
but i feel the need
to let the light in
it’s been sneaking in
underneath the door
i guess there’s no harm in trying
i can’t help it, i can’t hide it
and i’m getting pretty tired of running
to the store
but it’s always there
for when i don’t care
anymore
when i’m feeling restless
and i’m so so sick of texas
i just picture myself
sleeping on your floor
in this particular vision
i don’t feel there’s something missing
and i’m content
waking up and walking with you to the store
they sell us their solutions
to our problems and we use ‘em
then i wake up more confused
speeding toward
almost gone
when i promise you
i’m almost done
(if it really bothers you)
i’m almost through
(at the end i start to tell the truth)
sunshine and the morning dew
(i’m coming home)
this is an easy one

Rabbitbrush

rabbitbrush grows on the side of the road
little pile of stones tells me where to go
upheaval dome
don’t know why but i don’t feel alone
i walk around
yeah i walk around
where a meteor
hit the ground
i don’t mind at all
if you found someone to call
home
for now
home for now
i made a sound
yeah i moved my mouth
but i don’t remember
what came out
sundown
drive past quiet homes
‘darkness on the edge of town’
on my car radio
i’ll never tell
what my cupholder knows

Waving
04:37
|
|||
|
plantlike
he spends his time
staying put
waiting for the sun to shine
the nighttime
leaves him feeling stepped on
by any boot or leaf
or stranger’s smile
he wants to put up a sign
telling you and everyone
he’s not so unkind
it’ll say
“if i’m waving you off
just come on through”
needing more and more
and finding myself back from the store
so i don’t open the door
you could write
but when i try
all my words sound so tired
so if i’m waving you off
just come on through
so if i’m waving you off
just come on through
yeah if i’m waving you off
just come on through
so if i’m waving you off
just come on through
so if i’m waving you off
just come on through
so if i’m waving you off
just come on through

Night

rolling
downhill
is this still fun
can’t tell
night drags
head down
moving slow
across town

Taking A Break
05:42
|
|||
|
i hear myself speaking
but i know i’m not saying anything
finished up what i was drinking
now i’m taking a little break
and i still sing to myself upon waking
but lately i don’t know what to sing
is there nothing at stake
look at the piles of clothes
before it’s time to go to work
there’s one on the bed
and there’s one on the floor
and none of it’s clean
and neither am i
except for those almost two weeks
but i still had
something to help me sleep
something to help me sleep
something to help me sleep
in my jeans
i don’t need some oracle of truth
to tell me that
i’ve seen the things that i’ve seen
i’m so full of memories
i’m so full of memories
i’m so full of memories
that i need
was i breaking when i said
what you were saying did not make sense
i could keep it to myself
and still subconsciously repent
was i breaking when i said
what you were saying did not make sense
i could keep it to myself
and still subconsciously repent
was i breaking?
was i breaking?
was i breaking?
was i breaking?

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks.

Like a lot of songs on this album... starts quiet and spatial and progressively gets loud, complex, and pulsing. Love it! Many sonic layers; another well-crafted album!
