Ghosts on a Summer Night

we're not unlike,
these dying summer nights.
two as you like,
just ghosts on a summer night.
we're walking on forever,
(you say) without regrets,
hand in hand forever,
(i'm right, you're left)
we're not unlike,
these dying summer nights.
two as you like,
just ghosts on a summer night.
wont' be seeing you that often,
from your place,
your place up north.
and you won't call that often,
just to talk
and i won't.
we're not unlike,
these dying summer nights.
two as you like,
just ghosts on a summer night.

Murdering Hug
03:17

am i only,
wants but one?
wants just you.
to take trite titles,
never to own,
not to be held,
but to behold.
in the coldest of nights,
to sleep alone,
is to shiver,
in your murdering hug,
smothering every "i love you",
you've said...and will regret.
but you'd rather be alone,
than be with me,
than two as one.
settled the separate,
the skeleton key,
is perched in the lock,
but left unturned.
we'll relive the story eventually,
rewritten i'm sure,
by the jaded, the empty on piano keys,
undressing the beds for what's in store.
in the coldest of nights,
to sleep alone,
is to shiver,
in your murdering hug,
smothering every "i love you",
you've said...and will regret.

Stalemates You'll Say

waiting behind with the faithful.
taking the line where the train goes.
just let if break my darling,
and walk away.
it's drawn on your face in his kisses.
reads of your lips' failed resistance.
just let it break my darling,
and walk away.
tracing the curves of your hipbone.
teasing the lace covered window.
just stay awake 'til the morning,
starts to break.
covering under a faint laugh.
it's drawn on my face like a plane crash.
just fly away with tomorrow,
on the way.

Dissect as Dialog
02:45

thread may not reveal,
or mend my ways.
mother, doctors and death,
still light the way,
to your name.
estrangement of it all,
outing parts as whole,
i wonder if you're on to me,
and will you hold as tight?
lying uncertainty,
with her claws still stuck in me.
all aglow along the lines,
i've walked but couldn't say,
if your plots and plans,
include my name?
draw out my guilty face.

Scarlet

can you save them all?
save them all,
and have any left for you?
and through it all,
phone lines cut off,
but could it still be there?
with an "A",
sign your name so scarlet,
i heard you’ve been calling on,
the closest names in your apartment,
have had you buried far too long.
a nightly call,
where mouths don't talk,
but have so much to say to you.
to a jewelry box, to a spinning doll,
now holds on to what was.
with an "A",
sign your name so scarlet,
i heard you’ve been calling on,
the closest names in your apartment,
have had you buried far too long.

So So Cinema

i heard you singing,
saying 1960 is not so far away,
lover this room looks safe,
blue and yellow staring down,
blue and brown,
like any other day.
i heard you breaking,
breathing breaths so deep,
that it's disheartening.
breathe now. and in and out. repeat.
the local weather's speaking volumes,
but whatever please please promise me,
won't you promise me?
you're so so sinful.
and i'm so so wrong.
you're so so seductive,
and you're so close,
you're so close.
i heard you coughing across oceans,
with your mouth still counting cigarettes,
my love. don't exhale yet.
a million dolls hold dying flowers,
i just hope you got the cards i sent.
i heard you waiting, a dreaming lighthouse,
painted all penelope,
with your beams still out to sea.
float jet engines i'm dependent,
just promise that you'll remember me,
and our thirty-three.
now you're so so silent dear.
and i'm so so cold.
i'm so so sure of it.
i want you so so close

we'll make our houses in this bed,
and never need to write these songs again.
and i'll stop shivering you'll see,
just as the lace brings the morning.
we'll make our promises to wait.
at least we'll have something left to break.
and i'll stop waiting up all night,
to see which name replaces mine.

Falling Down Everything
03:02
|
|||
|
with our bed strings erased,
i'll be the only ghost haunting this place,
still haunting this place.
but in the wind, in a way,
i'll find that everything,
everything fades.
and everything is gray,
i'm falling down everything.

Late Nights Lately
03:45
|
|||
|
late nights lately,
i've been sleeping.
more or less without you,
and lately i've discovered,
you're the comfort i'm missing.
i'm missing.
but i still dream of city scenes,
and living all too fast.
buildings built with diving boards,
i'm jumping at.
i still dream of holding hands,
living all too planned.
build me something beautiful,
on this ugly past,
and i'll love you best.
two 'til morning,
if clocks keep ticking,
on and on and tomorrow will have me,
and we won't speak of it.
keep quiet and spinning.
i'm spinning

Antidote
02:12
|

|
raised on love songs,
all and all alone.
and don't let yourself talk,
through phones, on phones,
to new ones on old tones,
looking for something to grow,
from this rabbit hole.
easy, easy.
fall into my lap for once,
and treat me, treat me.
treat me like your own.
and sing the song i wrote,
my silence antidote.
