Eternal costume party of the soul (free) 03:58
lyrics
download
there were things with rigid structure and other things for which the lack of structure served as definition there were days and there were weekends all made of minutes made of seconds for our senses to absorb and these were ways we had of counting to break down life and neatly label every particle of change it was a dream that we were chasing along with the dragon and the fountain of youth and other drugs that we had taken that we remembered later on when we were taken in and shaken there was nothing that could save us but we made it safe regardless although our faith was unenhanced by this as we'd grown bored with miracles by then there was a foolish belief in some truly complete understanding of the root of potentiality to know the underlying form of the underlying format a conscious comprehension of being as the pattern of newness has grown old with reuse it precludes hope for anything new

Ribbons (free) 03:24
lyrics
download
i could write this song, but what good would it do me i've written so many wrong words that time is wasting through me and maybe it's best if left unsung and buried but it makes me feel useless when i can't explain myself like the little red ribbons gone to raised white rows back when i could communicate well and while i can't help but hate it, i can't help but know it's the only thing i can relate to these notes now
3.
Waste of space (free) 02:01
lyrics
download
well we never worked out i just hate that i regretted whatever i did to dissuade you from loving me but we never worked out and there's no way to deny now all those days that i died inside for each time i'd seen you and so whatever is left of me from the way i've unravelled as i've striven to travel as far as i can from you in mind and through time and on highways and buslines and whatever good drugs i could find on the way well whatever occurs in my blessings and curses my hope now is only that i never see you alive again
4.
Presentation (free) 01:25
lyrics
download
if i could escape myself in some harmless way then i could present to you somewhat unchanged a person as clean, as cured but not myself at all i tried to erase the past i drank away what i can't recall is all i think about these days without all the pills that helped allay the pain these sober mornings i wake ashamed and afraid you'll be gone as well
5.
Stifling safety (free) 04:05
lyrics
download
when i'm tired and i'm cold alone on this long road i'll scrape up my thin hope in hopes that they're not too thin i'll breathe out i'll breathe in i'll breathe out i'm breathing and i've caught my breath when i'm scared and holed up inside me i give up these four walls these two eyes contain me until they die... now i'm out and i'm free the void was not empty and these souls were not lost and i'm not a lost soul just drifting apart from the stifling safety of blood flow and tissue and vision and pale skin... i lay back my ears ring i stare at the ceiling and breathe my last breath again and again and again
6.
Transpose (free) 03:29
lyrics
download
i could guess i could speculate freely i suppose but who knows where the guessing is going so i guess that's the reason i like to transpose from the lives of other people that i know so my freeform takes the form of a preformat show like the way that i do like the does in the road when the face of potential has grown too close i close my eyes and hope it missed but if you're honest, what direction could i take that had not been traversed or conversed upon as the obvious has expanded it's spectrum to encompass the face of the earth i'm a skeptic, a spectacle a secret nothing to hide, but i keep it discreetly and i've got no skill, but i've learned not to hone what i have my pride is in what i've not shown so if i never show improvement i'm not losing any ground that i'll have to gain back and i won't deign to show my face or join a race i know can never be run or be won anyway

Oasis (free) 02:10
lyrics
download
we wept for all we can't forget made love within the tempests eye my hands in yours your eyes in mine though we're beset by disaster pursued by regret i have buried my love in you so as the future comes faster than i can accept i'm prepared just by being with you and our love grows still a turgid vine entwined in every shard of life that once had seemed long since expired so as the sun rises over the desert we walk in the lushest oasis and as the world we know draws to a close we walk on surviving what would have killed us alone
9.
Migratory Patterns (free) 02:59
lyrics
download
it's getting dark outside i'll leave the light on late and hope the moths will find their way back home it's getting cold tonight and from the fire escape i see the moon's collected frost across his face beside the fireplace we hide like hummingbirds our eager fingers wicking nectar from a flower and i'm content with my silence and what that silence contains i've relinquished the anger i have forgotten their names i asked for nothing more than this i hoped for nothing less and when the weather improves i feel a potent reluctance and i avoid correspondence and i won't ask forgiveness for my solitude or for avoiding you whoever you all are now i will hibernate and migrate all this will dissipate and we will just keep on aging away
10.
Cancer (free) 02:36
lyrics
download
after the diagnosis and the panic and optimistic relatives go home you're alone in a room with cancer all around you and after the prognosis and the treatment starts to take it's toll your memories are growing dim you're alone in a room with cancer all around you and you try to sleep but you can't sleep with the lights on you don't want to turn off or to try to fall asleep
11.
When dying (free) 03:03
lyrics
download
some people remember what others forget while discrepancies fall to the arms of regret in death beds indicted or otherwise fed to the wolves that unite in the corner offensive and the carnage incarnate is carefully laid in the imprint of footsteps that follow each fatal mistake and our lives are just follow the dots and fill in the holes and wait on the clock until the body gets old and disposed of and is nothing more painful than all the unchangeable things laid to rest yet awakened to seep through the indigent mores of the elderly transgressors mind as it's desperately trying to sleep in the hours preceding their death throught eternal unsated remorse
12.
Fire (free) 04:43
lyrics
download
it seems harder at first it gets harder to care as the world will wear out all it's boarders can bear as the edges grow frayed and difficult to discern what cards one should have played had they wanted to learn and when the fire came i had nothing to save i watched it burn to the ground i had nothing to say

Exit Interview Denver, Colorado

for many years music was my life and, although i was never very good, i was always very passionate about it. now my life has taken me elsewhere. these seven pieces i leave here to serve as the portrait of my former self. as much for me as for anyone else. let us always remember where we have been, with an eye to the ground where our feet will fall on the path ahead. ... more
