Busy as a Bee
03:56
|
|||
|
Little bee with those vibrating wings
She sticks her tail into all the things
She whips around while you're sleeping
Oh elated, floating on a breeze
Sticky icky the honey drip
Collecting miles like a business trip
Into bee holes she stumbles and slips
And moves on to a moving target
Flowering carrots
Tally ho! You striped drone
Closing in on me
Sally forth, you domestic force!
Busy as a bee
Approach march and stinger my heart
Spread your revelry
Little bee are you talking to me?
Your buzzing reaches a new frequency
I strain my ears for a meaning
Oh please repeat buzzing melody
Sticky icky a money drip
She's humming octaves like a working stiff
When she's written a closed-lipped clip
Put it on loop
Baby, that's a hit
She don't never miss

Features

Walking on our way to my house
In the shoes
I took from your father while he was sucked into the news
Had I known what we would do
Our lives conclude
Didn't think of returning to Juneau in our motherhood
Our close features
Almost believably everlasting
At most, creatures
Of comfort 'til we soften every one
Leaving her alone
Mix of guacamole we cashed out
All the chips
And continued to rearrange around a bowl of dip
To record a second clip
The hour's hit
All the people coming forward just to get a glimpse
Our close features
Almost believably everlasting
At most, creatures
Of comfort 'til we soften every one
Leaving her alone

Crumbs
02:59
|

|
If there's crumbs, well
You know where they're from
They're the pieces of the thoughts you left
Betraying a messy set of lips
As if those precious looks weren't legible enough
As if I couldn't want just one more kiss
Or the pleasure of a frequent respite
Keeping time doesn't seem so fair
I'll spend it all tonight
With you in mind for a willing share
And let the rest beware
If there's drums, well
You know I'll beat 'em
Hammering steps to follow through this mess
Listening for you to sing along
In your whispered, calm non-resistance
Making sure you don't let on
That you're dropping on these crumbs along the way
Keeping time doesn't seem so fair
I'll spend it all tonight
With you in mind for a willing share
And let the rest beware
To find me following
Treading on your toes
Maintaining
Still half-unwittingly
A quarter un-supposed
For keeps
Please don't fall asleep
Wearing all these clothes just for me
Haste towards our far-off dreams
Gathering up the crumbs in between
Keeping time doesn't seem so fair
I'll spend it all tonight
With you in mind for a willing share
And let the rest beware

Lists

|
Accept the free gifts of love and grace
Mistake the message of a turning phrase
If you could only see the way I see your face
Or the space beneath that you long to hate
In the morning renewed
Like a list of crimes
You had in mind, for
In the evening, atuned
Can't block out those reminders viewed
And reviewed
Splash some water and refresh your fate
Tangled silken threads still dominate
A person to impersonate a great escape
Let's not leave it there
It's not too late
In the morning renewed
Like a list of crimes
You had in mind, for
In the evening, atuned
Can't block out those reminders viewed
And reviewed

Shugga Loaf
05:32
|
|||
|
Peering down to glassy Lake Winona
Craggled with signs of age and things unspoken
Seen trees taken down
Heard their screams loud
Marble veneer shown through the seems
Bed losing air while the children rustle
Trying to make sense of all the bustle
Where the soft-sided city slickers
Eat their own weight in liquor
Sitting out by the creek
Hear the cow elk scream to awaken the herds
Who were wrapped in brand-name sheets
Though, the one beside me speaks with different words
Floating dramatically to the peaks
Keep watching over all of us
Or we will surely be ground to dust
Shake our feet from these worn ingredients
'Til we feel it deep in our guts
Grapple with signs of destruction
Place yourself above God and heaven
Look down to a crowd
Oh, let's not go down
Don't wanna join the legions
Keep watching over all of us
Or we will surely be ground to dust
Shake our feet from these worn ingredients
'Til we feel it deep in our guts
Pampered by coin operation
Sweating loonies, dehydration location
Back on the road
Stuff overflows as we
Lighten toward a destination

Hexagon
03:57
|
|||
|
If 6 is the number of the beast
Well, you got me
I was thinking more along the lines and vertices
Connecting points to keep up belief
Dissecting moments to be elite
Hanging in interiors until our points meet
Don't you think they always come in groups of 3?
Honeycombs
The innards of my brain
Can't tell what's sticky or of what I'll be ashamed
With you by me I will not be afraid
Walking the pathways
Descending into caves
These syllables seem to go on for days
In the best kind of ways
It would take a lot for you to play along
In the end it's right
We've got a hexagon

Be Firsty (Mas Crunchy)
03:17
|
|||
|
When your heart slowed
We turned a key
A lifted you up with certainty
Into this world, originally
Streaking
Cosmic
Virginity
First is the worst
Second is the best
You are a crater
Laid upon my chest
Bridge beginning
To override the course of night
In the skyline
Shines a prodigeous light
Flickering beacon
To guide a watchful eye
With fits of might
Enter protector
Of happy filaments
Leading electricity
To power love's arrest
First is the worst
Second is the best
You are a crater
Laid upon my chest

Diaper Bandaids
02:48
|
|||
|
We were kids once
Playing in trees
On the wet, cold tundra
Kept up the speed
As we fell on our knees
Wielding axe heads under
Wild things at play
Doing what we was trained
Without complaint
The only time we would learn anything
Using diaper bandaids
Keep it up with the feeling
After the fight is gone
Had we won or lost in believing
Nothing left to be done

Octagon
05:04
|
|||
|
A strap
It holds
A scabbard
A mold
The fires forge
A likeness all
Too familiar
To be ignored
In time is an enemy
We fall out of favor
With our queens who drag
Us through the empty streets
Our youth she will surely weep
I can't believe how far we've come
To get where we are
8 players set to ground
8 walls to gather 'round
Ermina is in the fields
He fights, he will not yield
Before betting's done
Pineapples in the rum
Commence the engagement
Grapple with the present placement
A raw outcry lets out
Begin to froth at mouth
Towards yesterday's adversary
Take downs come aplenty
In time is an enemy
We fall out of favor
With our queens who drag
Us through the empty streets
Our youth she will surely weep
I can't believe how far we've come
To get where we are
Looking back...
A smile unfolds...
You never know what moments will take hold
I wish that we...
Could reminisce
To feel the weight of friendship
It'd be like living in the octagon
Resisting sleep
Keep fighting on
Or just to know that it happened once
For you to know it meant just as much
I can't believe how far we've come
I can't believe how far we've come
I can't believe how far we've come
To forget where we are
