If you have to know why I go away
I'm seeing stars at the wrong time of day
I'm locked in but you see the room is glowing
These plans are hatching and they won't stop crying
I've got a time limit
Ten minutes a week of these spitting, flaring embers
The homunculus climbs up out of his slumber
I can't tell you exactly what he says but it is genius
Hibernate for a while, come back when I least expect it
I've got a time limit
What can I do for you?
When you've done everything for me.
Why am I half asleep
When you wake me up - can you show me the clock!? Because
I've got a time limit

When I feel the pull

When I feel the pull
Of sweetest music ever heard
The tide of heat flood through my head
Of something that cannot be said
I will stop and breathe
And thank you for the things that keep my soul alight
And even when they're out of reach
Thank you for the things you teach me

Expired room

Don't stay too long in this expired room
I collected these stories just for you
Walking on the beach near a wedding
I replay these memories again and again and again and again
Tape repeat. I add new sounds to the roll
Recycled sunlight trapped and muted now
Don't let your feet merge with the ground
These stories take your will to move and stop you from breathing and even from making a sound
Maybe Camus saw this coming
Hopeful, I meet hard reality
But I add my own flair to the telling
I take these stories and whisper tragedy

Let you go

We were the company of Bear Grylls
Through ten feet of undergrowth
We were the friendships that meant the most
But never quite got to the phone
And I wanted to say that
I'll remember the faces I have known
And I want to keep these memories in
And hold them as I let you go
Weddings and dancing and violin
Glimpse on the inside of plans
One heady day and they're gone away
Pictures continue romance
Chopped sweet potato becomes a paste
Piano with fingers too small
Late nights and stories and broken plates
God gently covers us all

Home from Strath Creek

Oh my God
You put the beauty in the trees
Filling balloons inside of me
Separate
But every breath was breathing you
And I know
You don't need these vessels of us
Where we meet
God you create humanity
Filling them with joy of company
You are God
In the field and in the factories
From this dust you breathe life into me
Separate
But not separate
