I remember clawing at the walls
It was not the same
But close
I’d forgotten breathing long and deep
It was not the same
But close
In a bathtub left to flood
With tiles scratched with letters “I gave up”
In a dream I saw you leaving
At the counter you saw me pleading
Feel myself fall into the tide
All the comfort g the night sky
She looks to me and says “you’ve got to want to get out,
Those men don’t care a bit they’ll hurt you just to feel bad”

Allston felt like the furthest part of the city
Biking up that hill past office window palms, you called me
Concrete radiating heat
Falling asleep
In the light of the morning I’m grieving the choices I’m making
Who knew it would come to this?
I’ve run away time and time and time again
Who knew I’d end up like this?
I’ve run all around my head, all around my head
Smoke pours out my mouth
And they all yell and they shout
“Run away, run away, run away, run away”
Run away run away run away run away
I think I see through all of the clarity
I used to jump in the river and wish for company-
Don’t call me
With people still all around me
There are gaps in my memory
Check my bank account for the first time in weeks
My mom calls and tells me she’s worried
Who knew it would come to this?
I’ve run away time and time and time again
Who knew I’d end up like this?
I’ve run all around my head, all around my head
Smoke pours out my mouth
And they all yell and they shout
“Run away, run away, run away, run away”
Run away run away run away run away
Who could have predicted this?
When I was young I meant to run away from home
I took the bus and climbed the top of
The tallest hill that I had ever known
Smoke pours out my mouth
And they all yell and they shout
“Run away, run away, run away, run away”
Run away run away run away run away…

Lately I’ve been wanting
To close the space
Left between you and me
And I’ve been stuck in a fever dream
Time to open the door
Now you tell me about a dream you had
Something about airplanes
Tasting the fruit in the sun
Sugar dissolves all at once
I keep seeing
Violets in the winter
And the snow won’t last long in this heat
And the words
I need are on the tip of my tongue
I can see it - make it happen - wait and see
Stuck inside thinking
About the lights on within possibility
I see the fruit trees are growing
I hear the angels are calling
And now you tell me about a dream you had
Linen and lace and warm rain
A feeling that I can’t contain
A feeling that I won’t contain
(I can see it…Make it happen
I can see it…Make it happen
Just for me..Know I want it
Just for me…Make it happen
Just for me)
I keep seeing
Violets in the winter
And the snow won’t last long in this heat
And the words
I need are sweet my tongue
Know I want it - make it happen - just for me
Just for me

Blood Moon

I walked for hours not long ago
And my hands touched the sky above
Ninety degrees in the nighttime breeze
Wrapped around my fevered love
The key was left under my chest
When I passed out lonesome again
The space I made and the place I stayed
Showed me all the depths of the end
You talked to me on the phone at night
Sleep flooded alley around my eyes
Met you at the citgo station
I was all red-hot inside
On the blood moon
I walked for miles alone at night
Tried to make some sense of this
Ate up all the fruit that’s left
Float around me like a kiss
On the blood moon
Childhood bedroom
Sidewalk’s cracked
Death coming soon
On the blood moon
On the blood moon
Try to break the curse
Childhood bedroom
Feeling gets worse

CVS

I feel brand new again
Sick and tired of this place again
Fluorescent in the aisle of the CVS
And I will let it go let it go let it go
Forget the rest
Melody overcomes memory becomes what I need
When you say you feel alone
When you say you feel alone
I just want to go back home
Let’s go watch the winter melt
We’ll wake up in a garden
And from that place we’ll remember all the times we had
We’ll remember all the times we had
We’ll remember all the times we had
Good or bad
Baby, good or bad

Pink Light

I tell myself it’s all just a matter of right place and right time
And I tell myself if that’s the case, that’s just fine
And you follow the pink light up the staircase that leads to your bedroom
And you tell me I can stay here, if I want to
I see you underwater
I see the sunlight dance
I tell myself it’s all just a matter of right place and right time
And I tell myself if that’s the case, that’s just fine
And I’m so tired of living this life on a shallow line
Mood is an anvil, smile’s a shock down the spine
I see you underwater
I see the sunlight dance - dance
I see us falling apart
I see the sunlight dance - dance - dance

Pasadena

Pasadena, California
And the house is underwater
And the house is underwater
Desert mountainside
Desert morning walks
The sap sticky on our tongues
Cactus grows beneath the sun
Twenty nine palms
Twenty nine years ago
When the house was underwater, when the house was…
I’ve been stuck in my head and I’m so sick of waiting
Been thinking about us but unable to say it
Slow look out the window watch morning’s rush hour
And thinking of leaving and climbing the tower
And longing no longer feels so much like death
But final results catastrophize the test
The star dips her finger into the well of emotion
She knows the demand of true love is devotion
It’s me still alive still distraught in my cloud
Still looking for honey to taste in the drought
I’m so fucking tired of being this woeful
I’m left I’m not lost
I’m lonely, I’m hopeful
I’m left I’m not lost
I’m lonely, I’m hopeful
I’m left I’m not lost
I’m lonely, I’m hopeful

Blue Echo Window

On the third floor there’s a blue echo window
The ladder leads deeper inside
A ghost just above me who can’t find the lightswitch
To see in the hot dark night
Empty pantry cupboards and blue echo window
Reflects and refracts the traffic
Texts from an old friend who wants to see me naked
But I can’t give up on this yet
I thought, I thought, I thought
I can still listen to music in the wind
I feel, I feel, I feel
The garden of evil looming overhead
Inside this house with the blue echo window
Screens d me I can’t go to Jersey
It’s not safe to see the plant matter decaying
On the trails underneath my feet
I’m bored of this room and the mirror is psychic
The blue echo window’s the same
They tell me I’m lost but I’ve got to keep working
They know judgment day won’t wait
I think, I think, I think
I’m still drawing all the things I feel
I ache, I ache, I ache
But today’s not the end

Untourable Album

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
