You tip toe across the sidewalk The worms spread out before your footsteps You said the same thing about existence That we are running away from an impending doom And god could come down and squash us at any second After the first spring rain I won’t be looking back over my shoulder Sunny day studded calendar I’m gonna go outside Like a worm coming out of the muck After the first spring rain Watching you dance Is like a quantum computer Crunching imaginary numbers They just don’t exist in out dimension You turn into schrödinger’s cat When I don’t see you for months at a time You could be dead or alive After the robots win I won’t be asking you if you can come over I wont be opening a box best left closed I’m going back into the mud For the winter

Outside Eyes 03:27
Act I What a talented actress with far too many speaking lines I met a taloned redactress And set the record straight Act II We’ll cut the scene where she is kissing you And all her friends are watching through the window All the things in secret that you do The irony of outside eyes Act III you find that all your honesty Is getting you nowhere Everything is up in the air And all the little boxes are filled with perfect squares The message in their glare is What a talented actress With far too many speaking lines And a passion for dactyls Let’s hope she isn’t straight Act IV we’ll keep the scene where she is leaving you And all her friends are sleeping in their bedrooms All the things in secret that you do The irony of outside eyes

Traveling in my UFO Thru the stratosphere Only lightspeed can make my heartbeat Faster

We wanted to understand time and growth We wanted to understand time and growth together We were tired of understanding that we weren’t standing on the earth But tethered to it I wanted to understand time and sloth And complacency And how all the little loves were lost now The vacancy in my eyesight is growing We called the earth on a landline No one picked up For what it’s worth It rang Sandy said to me “R U free?”

Two long years of mistakes boiled down to one thick slip of a mess By the time we second-guessed our second guess The second guessing was getting reckless Now I’m counting pennies for beer With full intent I don’t stop to think “Maybe I shouldn’t get drunk tonight” I’ll get ashamed at the checkout I’ll get the spins on my bed I’ll get a headache in the morning and I’ll get drunk later again One year later I’ve developed habits like a mason I’ve built walls like the brick-layer I am And I thought I’d left some windows But I’m not sure that I’m tall enough To see out of them Watching all my favorite people Turn into the best versions of themselves And never knowing how to grow like that myself I was burned by the heat If the moment I had let go From the get-go I was timid and bored So I ran up to a rose bush Took one for the scrapbook and Took one for the road I was caught in the beat of my own shaky tempo I was lost in a maze of words and body-temples I was rolled up in a rug and thrown against the wall And all this time you’ve been dancing through my mind And I can only tap my foot 10,000 thread count All turn to chains now And I’m alone again But I keep dancing
