Roosevelt
She’s skipping stones on the river of her enemy
He’s up in lights on the banks of her memory
Oh the day has a way of loving you
But oh the night has a way of leaving you
And up on her wall a framed The Man In The Arena quote
And in a box she’s fading on the note he wrote
Oh the day has a way of loving you
But oh the night has a way of leaving you
Oh the day has a way of needing you
But oh the night has a way of cheating you
Oh the day has a way of loving you
But oh the night has a way of leaving you

She Was Going To Grow You A Garden
Drinking Irish whiskey on the dock
A drink for every ship that’s leaving
Drink for every ship that’s leaving
Time is on her hands like a clock
Watch as the ships are leaving
Watching as the ships are leaving
Home where the bluebird knows my song
Known where everything knows nothing until it’s gone
Breaking down to build up things
Fall a tree to count the rings
She was gonna grow you a garden
She was gonna make you a sun
She was gonna grow you a garden
You were gonna make yourself the rain
You were gonna make yourself the rain
Drinking Irish whiskey on the dock
A drink for every ship that’s leaving
Drink for every ship that’s leaving
Time is on her hands like a clock
Watch as the ships are leaving
Watching as the ships are leaving
Here where the blackbird is always near
Fear where the clouded mind longs to be clear
Break it up to start new things
For all it takes and all it brings
She was gonna grow you a garden
She was gonna make you a sun
She was gonna grow you a garden
You were gonna make yourself the rain
You were gonna make yourself the rain

Et Mortuus Est
Drive our car real far just to get lost
And we keep racing down these dead end roads for no reason
Turn ourselves around only to find
Direction holds no meaning to us now only seasons
that we evolve into
Can we try again
Or can we play pretend
That oh I really loved it here
It’s funny how you miss the things that you could never hold dear
Oh and I know we’re dying
because there is no rewinding
And oh I’ll really miss it here
It’s funny how you love the things that you could never hold near

Carus
I know I can see whoever I want
Starving for you weary of the hunt
If you keep on running I may tire of the chase
And never arrive at your fortress of lace
The prettiest things I’ve collected for you
I minded the shape, aesthetic and hue
I’m packing them all in a suitcase
I’ll bring them to you in your fortress of lace
I’ll bring them to you in your fortress of lace
Out in the sunshine and in darkness too
I have grown flowers, flowers for you
And I’m picking a bouquet and my finest vase
For you to admire in your fortress of lace
For you to watch die in your fortress of lace
I wrote you a letter I’ll send it someday
Now decades like days since I’ve gone away
I’m stuck in a story on your bookcase
You read time to time in your fortress of lace
You read time to time in your fortress of lace
You read time to time in your fortress of lace

Plato’s Cave
The dark it felt soft with the moon in your hands
And the birds that we drew flew away with our plans
And bodies fill formless gardens and suns
Like flashes of loss floods the spill of the tongues
Lonely and sad like the lips that you bought
Spit out the words to inhale the thought
Monogrammed words like a catch phrase bouquet
Tattooed in your heart pumping joy through your veins
But never as low as I often go
But always more real than you’ll ever feel
We’ve all got a secret we’re dying to tell
The riddles we wrap up inside of ourselves
Oh oh see only shadow
Oh oh hear only echo
Try and break free darling
Let restlessness leave starving
Memento Vivere
Up from the deep dawning
Wake from the sleep mo(u)rning
Memento Mori
A doctorate degree in misery
Organically farming out all debris
It’s painfully painless and different like me
Like things that you feel but can’t quite believe
A fire is burning up Plato’s Cave
An ocean of thought killing all of the flames
Oh oh see only shadow
Oh oh hear only echo
And oh if you feel something
Seek to just be nothing
Memento Vivere
Love is the ghost haunting
Time lost on endless wanting
Memento Mori

Belgrade Street
In a natural disaster
I hear the earth moves faster
Think I found something real this time I was
Driving south with a north mind
90 miles an hour down that dotted line I’ve been
Cutting ties resurrecting rye
Staring at the present like the future and past died
Having a drink with worry bygones be gone
Oh woah there goes my mind again
Just like you and me
It ain’t star crossed it’s a coin toss
As far as the eye will let us see
Philadelphia moon, morning glory and bar rooms
Believe I lost who I’d been this time I was
Blooming slow motion in real time
Reasons skipping lines like they were fated to find rhymes
Suffocating time breathing paradigm
Conjuring a code to cleave the flaw from ripe vine
Having a beer with memory because we’re old friends
Oh woah there goes my mind again
Just like you and me
It ain’t star crossed it’s a coin toss
As far as the eye will let us see
Ringing bells in rafters
Echo all lost chapters
I swore I could hear them this time I was
Running fast on crooked path
Weaving back and forth like I was threading a black dress just
Passing time to past lives
Rewinding wounded heart like it was dying to revive
Having a shot with emptiness to kill the void
Oh woah there goes my mind again
Just like you and me
It ain’t star crossed it’s a coin toss
As far as the eye will let us see
