Scavengers
02:54

passed out on the sand
in a bridesmaids dress
with the wedding guests
like scavengers on the dune
scattered by the light of the moon
no treasure to find
so we pass the time
worried it would end too soon
like cold and restless stars
we shiver till we spark
then a silent falling arc
comes burning down the sky
and we’re alive
corpses comb the beach
to find their hearts
in the cold and dark
so far they’re out of reach
silhouettes out on the sea
could the light from the stars
ever change who we are
asleep in the washed up debris
like cold and restless stars
we shiver till we spark
then a silent falling arc
comes burning down the sky
and we’re alive
running through the sand
in a bridesmaids dress
with the wedding guests
like scavengers on the dune
scattered by the light of the moon
no treasure to find
so we pass the time
worried it would all end
like cold and restless stars
we shiver till we spark
then a silent falling arc
comes burning down the sky
and we’re alive

Long Distance Swimmers
04:17
|

|
we swam out past the waves
long distance swimmers in the night
our better judgement cast away
no coast in sight
the sky ahead grew dark
the lights were off in a baseball park
we thought we’d only go so far
well here we are
sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone
we heard the home crowd cheer for more
when they saw the hometown hitter score
the summer night was hot and nothing stirred the trees
but for just a little while life's a breeze
then the forecast from the weather girl
whose prediction should have been
so predictable
sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone
when branches shake the dead leaves fall
we rehearsed each night for the curtain call
a better offer took the baritone away
made the opera a one woman play
the diamond lay beneath a foot of snow
no one cared so they cancelled the show
the midnight static and the tv glow
oh i should have known
sun blind
wind blown
long distance swimmers
swim alone
in the freezing sea
and far from home
long distance swimmers
swim alone

Geraldine
04:41

|
paralyzed in the frozen time
grabbing any fragment i can find
but none of this is mine
dreamy eyed i watched the bride
drive away and wave goodbye
spring of nineteen sixty five
oh geraldine
there’s a part of me
that can’t believe i’ll ever sleep
long enough to dream
sound asleep in the drivers seat
debating this reality
with ghosts, delusions, and memories
maybe they’re all the same
oh geraldine
there’s a part of me
that can’t believe i’ll ever sleep
long enough to dream
wide awake
green light from a nightstand clock
entombed in the bed like a burial plot
paralyzed
in the frozen time
grabbing any fragment i can find
but none of this is mine
oh geraldine
the last face i ever see
the last word i whisper
oh garaldine
oh geraldine
there's a part of me
that can't believe i'll ever sleep
long enough to dream

Where I'm At
04:53
|
|||
|
telephone cords run along the ocean floor
our voices stretched across the depth
while ocean waves kept us pressed against the shore
i'd have guessed
that’s what the ocean’s for
like a pin
stuck in a map
where i am
i guess that’s where i’m at
a cartographer who never left her home
charting paths across the world and back
the illusion starts to crack
tracing scattered patterns
till i lost track
like a pin
stuck in a map
where i am
i guess that’s where i’m at
whoever drew the serpents on the sea
must have understood my curiosity
the blue expanse of all eternity
these regrets
will be the death of me
like a pin
stuck in a map
where i am
i guess that’s where i’m at
