A horrible death Yes a horrible death A horrible death Yes a horrible death He drowned in the river but before he drowned he fell to his horrible death to his horrible death he rolled down the bank through a patch of brambles and he cut his arms and his legs on the way down to his horrible death to his horrible death to his horrible death before he reached the water he reached the rocks where the frogs were waiting to tear him apart and his horrible death yes his horrible death had just begun and if you think you know you don't know anything at all you only know what we told ya we only know what they told us we don't know anything at all

Did I wake you from your evening slumber summer moon oh summer moon I wish I could see you through the trees where you move as you please you remind me of someone I used to know and you remind me of someone I used to be Did I wake you from your evening slumber summer moon oh summer moon summer moon you remind me of someone I used to know and you remind me of someone I used to be summer moon oh summer moon I’ve been looking for an answer but all I see is you and when I wake up you’ll be dreaming over somewhere new I am here for just a moment but before I leave would you tell me of the places that you have seen? I wish you could guide me on the sea but I’m lost in the webs you weave. Did I wake you from your evening slumber summer moon oh summer moon summer moon you remind me of someone I used to know and you remind me of someone I used to be I don’t want to find my way I just want to find your light again I don’t want to find my way I just want to find myself again

oh, when my heartbeat slows  lay me down where the white birch grow  and I know  yeah I know that I'll find you again  again  So salt the earth where I walked on it  and say a prayer for all the dust I bit  But don't forget what my friends all know  that I got no soul  and no devil is gonna hold me down  and hope you'll play this at my funeral  if I don't make it as long as you make it  and hope you'll play this at my funeral  if I don't make it as long as you make it  so lay me down on my electric deathbed  cause I'm not done with all of these songs inside my head  no no  I'm not done with them and I'm not done with you  no, I'm not done at all.  and I won't give up  and I won't give up  I won't give up  and I won' give up  not even if it kills me  not after I'm already dead  and I'd be lying if i told you that I wasn't scared  but I don't want to lie to you  not to you  and my friends all know  that I got no soul  and no devil is gonna hold me down  no devil  and hope you'll play this at my funeral  if I don't make it as long as you make it  and hope you'll play this at my funeral  if I don't make it as long as you make it

Vanished Buildings 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I think and I worry about the last climbing rose The marbled rose the pink rose the red rose with the white marbling I remember picking it out as a boy Williams’ nursery there were four then four marbled roses three pink roses on the old fence the Wattys’ fence the fence I couldn’t see over the tennis fence of my distant youth the rose knows what I know of vanished buildings it has lost its home, its shade and its siblings all without moving through space its world vanished around it the rose knows what i know of creeping doom the climbing hydrangea began its life only a few years ago and yet it grows with a vigor unmatched by the frail rose the frail, frail rose the last of its kind the doomed rose the thickness of the hydrangea leaf and the ever gripping twisting tendrils that threaten to touch to tear to suffocate and blind grow closer on two sides now surrounded, the rose has watched the vanishing has felt the shifting and now it knows it will soon know death and yet it blooms and knows not why but it blooms and blooms and in my mind too, in my memory, you.

Solitude 03:47
lyrics

In the well where we were sleeping we weren’t dreaming so well if I told you I had a feeling would you have believed it would you have believed me? I miss you but I’ll never miss you more than more than the way I used to find beauty in my solitude and I want to to reach you but I’ll never reach you in the way you want me to In the dream where we were living we weren’t breathing so well if I told you I had a feeling would you have believed it would have believed and if you couldn’t would you leave? I miss you but I’ll never miss you more than more than the way I used to find beauty in my solitude and I want to to reach you but I’ll never reach you in the way you want me to

I’ve waited so long so long to see what I used to see and to be what I used to want to be now that I see what I have to do I don’t have to do it with you no, no I have to follow my heart I know it sounds cliche no, it doesn’t sound smart but I do. I do. if I feel it again, I’ll know when Then I’ll build myself a home home. after the fight came down and all the cheers had rung out I stood alone in the moonlight and I asked her for some advice she didn’t say anything, no, she didn’t even look my way but I smiled, and I woke up the next day and the next day and the next day I’m gonna let you down I’m gonna let you down I’m gonna let you down but slowly I’m gonna let you down so slow I’m gonna let you down but slowly slowly.

October 05:54

There’s a shadow in my bedroom and it speaks to me so slowly it groans and then it creaks it tells me that it is so lonely sometimes even I believe in ghosts and things and bones that breathe there’s a figure in the forest and it whispers all its secrets to the solitary trees behind the red and yellow leaves so bury me October I’ve been waiting, drag me under disperse me into vapor, take my body, take my wonder. so bury me October I’ve been waiting, drag me under disperse me into vapor, take my body, take my wonder. oh, oh There’s a shadow in my bedroom and it speaks to me so slowly it groans and then it creaks it tells me that it is so lonely sometimes even I believe in ghosts and things and bones that breathe there’s a figure in the forest and it whispers all its secrets to the solitary trees behind the red and yellow leaves so bury me October I’ve been waiting, drag me under disperse me into vapor, take my body, take my wonder. so bury me October I’ve been waiting, drag me under disperse me into vapor, take my body, take my wonder. oh, oh, I’ve got nothing to lose bury me October
