SJM 04:06
I waited for you all my life Always in short supply Your muscles made me quiver Good enough to crucify But in retrospect I ask myself If I could ever call you kind And if I ran you up that pedestal Would you finally meet my eyes I swallowed my reflection In seven different ways The “You Take My Breath” collection Indebted to the haze So I changed the recollection In service of the rain But I made a resurrection Too relevant to change When they took me up to heaven And carved into my brain I thought I’d finally met them But even angels fall from grace And tho I’ll fall into depression I’ll have more time to brace To leave a last impression That puts you where I’m placed In my Silver Juniper Mindset. You were Laid bare Jupiter Violet It’s just my Silver Juniper Mindset That will make it whole. In my Silver Juniper Mindset You were Laid bare Jupiter Violet It's just my Silver Juniper Mindset That will make it whole.

Good Grief 04:51
She said You know But don’t forget the outcome The grief This show But don’t forget to outrun Cause if it doesn’t feel right, baby, then it doesn’t feel right Cheap shades Feel the sweat In the shade Fuck the interwet She says Silhouette In a daze Do you feel yet Cause it’s just good grief And it’s just your love And it’s just the way you make me feel All the time Cause it’s just good grief And it’s just your love And it’s just the way you make me feel All the time Can this be all the time All the time All the time Can this be all the time You said I know I’m a sucker for the rerun These thoughts Alone Or Touching temples with a “someone” Cause if it doesn’t feel right then it doesn’t feel right, baby Cause it doesn’t feel right, no it doesn’t feel right Cheap shades Feel the sweat In the shade Fuck the interwet She says Silhouette In a daze Do you feel yet Cause it’s just good grief And it’s just your love And it’s just the way you make me feel All the time

... if 02:58
If only you could be here to Compress the light of winter’s view In mirrors i see something new If only you and only you Can’t find the time To make the time to find the ways To say the things That only play back out of phase Till we align I only feel the outer blaze Till shepherds bring The stone that shimmers anyways I feel so fine I feel the light I speak in dreams That i call mine I’m bending time Till we align And I find you And only you If only you could be here to Compress the light of winter’s view In mirrors i see something new If only you and only you I see the tides Of winter in another face I only sing With words that put you out of place But i’ll take my time To realign Will i find you And only you If only you could be here to Compress the light of winter’s view In mirrors i see something new If only you and only you If only you could be here to Compress the light of winter’s view In mirrors i see something new If only you and only you

Inner Rain 03:46
[shunner] There is solace in remembering that for great lengths of time it was necessary to let the algae take over, but now you run our overgrown nails through the harvest, disgusted by the yield, but grateful the cracks beneath now have an opportunity to fill. The pressure gauge in the submarine is full of light and doubt departs the byproduct. When all was younger, if I rolled my eyes far back enough at the mention of the mask I could occasionally see your dangling toes, but now you float abreast the vessel. Whereas once the peace seemed outta reach, warded by rotting poplars and ribbons of cold sweat, now I see it sleeping in the fountain, and I see it again in the distance, breathing in the waterfall. I see it a third time from our bed, holding his string of lights below the shelf, spinning one between its forefingers. There is solace in the home in the meat. There is solace in the lungs for the first time since the woods, and there is no more need to be an iteration. Embers of the party fade Colors in the window No love in the tunnel needed I’ll exude a new glow Eyes above the bed frame Pretty sure that you know I’ll hold you up if you hold me too But you can’t have a [mdx view] Done watching buildings fall Colors in the window No light in the tunnel needed I’ll exude a new glow Body flatscreen so dramatic Watersutra seems systematic Call it blackstar, call it tragic I wing at the waistline and i’m so glad it’s a Body flatscreen so dramatic Water sutra seems systematic Call it blackstar, call it tragic I wing at the waistline and i’m so glad it’s a [shunner] Done watching the buildings fall New boundaries and old foes No light in the tunnel needed I’ll exude a new glow Celebrate the spit stains Wish you were here to see though Oh i loved you so goddamn much You can’t have a rainbow Embers of the party fade Colors in the window No love in the tunnel needed I’ll exude a new glow Eyes above the bed frame Pretty sure that you know I’ll hold you up if you hold me too But you can’t have a rainbow

All I Need 05:25
Tricking out the moon Slipping deep into this dream A dream where I hold you close As The Boat takes us upstream Your hands in my hair Are all I want all the time It would be such a blessing Just to know that you’re mine But I won’t Figure it out this time Unable to compromise But I won’t Lay to rest in time When I want you by my side But it’s stupid And annoying How I waste all of my time When you’re all I want and you’re all that I need Cause my life goes like this As my death goes like this And in this dream Where I exist Oh I can do anything I want But all I need is your kiss Already dropped out of school bitch Hit it like i’m king krule bitch Hit it like i’m on new shit Hit it like i’m on new shit Did a cool flip off Jupiter Had a heel bruise for a year While out of commission I learned a thing or two about tears But I won’t Let this pass me by I want to take hold of time And I won’t, lose my grip to a lie I want you by my side But it’s But it’s stupid And annoying How I waste all of my time When you’re all I want and you’re all that i need Cause my life goes like this As my death goes like this And in this dream Where I exist Oh I can do anything I want But all I need is your kiss Cause my life goes like this As my death goes like this And in this dream Where I exist Oh I can do anything I want But all I need is your kiss

Perfect 08:13
I’d give my life But I’m worth it In this room In my heart But all I fear It’s Perfect take a scythe In the dark One in the same, So if we’re one same Why can’t I ever recall your name One in the same, I find we’re one in the same As the Sun reflects off yr face And as I'm falling from grace I finally see these mistakes I fear I’ll never escape this place But in the greatest of wakes I call you one in the same As the sunlight takes my face Tonight I’m perfect in grace Take to The Boat to displace All our beautiful, rotten ways And from The Boat we embrace I finally take those mistakes And the sun reflects off my face I’d give my life But I’m worth it In this room In my heart But all I fear It’s Perfect Take a scythe In the dark One in the same, So if we’re one same Why can’t I ever recall your name One in the same, I find we’re one in the same As the Sun reflects off yr face One in the same, I heard we’re one in the same Though I could never see you aflame One in the same, I find that you’re not to blame Though you could never see my face And I find solace in ways In which I made my escape But still the sun counters our embrace One in the same I see you pick up the pace And I resent all that you encase I never thought I wouldn’t be alright Perspectives shifting through each night Your eyes are giving me back that light But I don’t want to die As death reflects in all i see I will admit I've lived a cool dream Facing them and all my seams Cause I don’t want to die My life is a delicacy Wrapped in plastic and unseen as you cut coyotes off this scene That scream into the night With death so perfect in this dream Find courage mangled in those screams Facing them and all my seams Cause I don’t want to die If this unfolds into the spring I know it never was your fault In this damn wish so perfect and free it still is perfect in the fall If this unfolds into the spring I know it never was your fault In this damn wish so perfect and free It still is perfect in the fall Winters pure curiosity will spread me over the white asphalt To summers perfect ocean breeze, I become one with the waves and salt Cause I don’t want to die Cause I don't want to die Cause I don't want to die Cause I don't want to die I forgive you.

The Boat. 06:22
Now i may be a little bitter As the curtains take the blame And the sunlight reveals hope And we’re one in the same You can’t convince me that i matter You can’t tell me that it’s in vain Just take me to The Boat Or take me to my grave Oh i’ll take anything that happens And i’ll wander my way through pain So just take me to the boat Or… The entrance that I yield Is worth all my life Cut into stars Waves that crash again All of which I save You draw the ways you draw the silence You’re a memory in this game You’re a vicious drawn out hoax Punching down in a secret rave You cut the course, you cut the rapids And you’ll lose everything to his name In a world that loves your throat And bites into your shame You can’t convince me that i matter You can’t tell me that it’s in vain Just take me to The Boat Or take me to my grave Oh i’ll take anything that happens And i’ll wander my way through pain So just take me to the boat Or take me to my grave You draw the ways you draw the silence You’re a memory in this game You’re a vicious drawn out hoax Punching down in a secret rave You cut the course, you cut the rapids And you’ll lose everything to his name In a world that loves your throat And bites into your shame
