tree

way back when the forest was a tree
you knelt down and kissed us tenderly
and from your spit far as the eye could see
grew the grapes, grew the grapes

a wine that could outsweet the finest flora
on a tongue so sharp it came and almost tore ya
and in the place that we now know as california
we fell asleep, fell asleep

mother, were you weeping when the sun went down
mother, did you hold us in your arms
are we sorry enough?

when we woke

obelisk

be yourself, be yourself and one day everything will be the way you want
the brand, want the brand and lock your soul in an obelisk

struggle

so we begin
bohemian
plebian

everybody’s trying to hustle
size of muscle
so even when you’re not in times of trouble
you can still identify with struggle

shine

i might turn the forest into books of poetry about you
make the homeless birdies sing like vienna philharmonic strings
but no one gets to leave without the stars your eyes hold setting flame
when you just stand there you are spreading love throughout the land

and i couldn’t be yours, and you couldn’t be mine
’cause i talk about light but you shine
bold & bright

i could live a thousand lives and die a thousand deaths before you
even made the small mistake of feeling good about yourself
what a coincidence the candles do the same dance you do
and here i’m working on my wax on wax off still

i write songs about my feelings

i write songs about my feelings
i write songs about my feelings
i write songs about my feelings
and i feel bad

there’s not enough rhyme or reason
not enough songs or seasons
not enough for the feelings that i’ve had

HOW CAN YOU

how can you bury a lover and cherish a conman
how can you tell us you hear us and just look away

it’s not real, nothing, nowhere, nobody
