Sanguine

Cold cups of caffeine
A seafoam breeze
and hidden electricity
The spark on your iris
follows me
wherever we let our eyes meet
Tell me my name
Tell me everything feels the same
I'll steady my veins
and hold the energy in this place
The touch of your fingers
across my wrist
takes the rust out of my blood
Tell me my name
Tell me everything feels the same
I'll steady my veins
and hold the energy in this place
Wasting our time in honest ways
To wake from the sanguine
dream to our
favorite shade of blue

Ash

I oughta lie low
I can feel the smoke
it's rising, again
On the dark coast
try to keep your windows closed
and talk about that sunset
The sunset
I remember
sifting through your songs
in the old growth cedar
but they hide now
deep beneath a brittle black
we'd rather look at sunsets
The sunset
Scattered ash scatters again
An embers hue now heavenly to view
The jealous moon will steal the color of all things
without a thought of what it's used to
The sunset

Let It Rest
02:52
|
|

I'll sit and wait on the Sertraline
to diffuse into my bloodstream
a racing mind starved of dopamine
til then I'll figure out and think about and figure out
Caught up and pensive
I'm spent, I'm pulled in
Too damn defensive
to let it rest, to let it rest, let it end
I'll take the time to write it down
just to tear it all to pieces
I'll try to find the kinder way
to work it out
Caught up and pensive
I'm spent, I'm pulled in
Too damn defensive
to let it rest, to let it rest, just let it rest, let it end

Pfeiffer Beach
04:11
|
|

|
The haze in my head
the sea at my feet
hollow and chest heavy
on purple Pfeiffer Beach
I'm not interested in longing for a world in which we already live
But how long could it take
with these waves? With these waves...
I'll draw a line in the sand
expose the garnet beneath
like veins having endlessly craved for oxygen for weeks
We're not interested in longing for a world the way it already is
How long would it take for the waves to rise?
How long can we stay
pinned in between
before the wildfires mingle with these waves
With these waves
