I coughed up blood the first time I saw how bright you laughed You asked me to try the water but I just dived too deep You told me to take a step back said you'd felt it all the same before and you don't want any more you told me I should have known you told me I should have known you wanted the sand to kiss your toes but your eyes stayed closed from the sea and the moon behind see if I can find how not to need. Love poems have a way of never letting go visions and vibrancy sing those hopes silly like action was a state of maybe maybe I just might be crazy but I could have sworn the swallow and the sword but I could have a sword if I swallow what I'd sworn.

Sunny Boy 03:28
Light me up baby like the rain like an old cigarette stain when it happens as the sun when it dampens again but the melody remains. And the tan-lines on your face and the wet that's on your cheek oh you know I'd slip asleep and wake up sunny if I could. I want to smoke a lonely cigarette through the crack that's in your window and the looping in my thoughts and the hole, the hole in the mirror Because it tends to pour when I'm up drinking thinking like a cloud collecting too much wet but I can hear music even in a silent room and I don't have to strain all that much. I want to slip asleep and wake up sunny but I don't think I could sleep even if I wanted to I've gotten so used to blue from the way my blankets used to wrap around you twin-bed alone again and cycling memories like a scrapbook tossing in the reef. Oh you know I'd slip asleep and wake up sunny boy. Sunny Boy.

please take it easy on me I talk to myself more than anyone else I know and I'm only so hard on because so I'm hard on myself where the hell did all my teeth go I tried to swallow everything I know now even this song is silent and even food feels hungry to me this water just tastes thirsty they've written the same damn thing maybe someone else will bring something else to talk about when we finally get it all out I'm watching it pour cupped hands it's spilling out on the floor and I'm grasping, grasping dumb mouth wide open and numb but please take it easy on me where the hell did my teeth go because I'm new to this when I tried to swallow everything I know and all that sensitive bullshit doesn't make me feel much better not knowing and knowing that it's looking like someday lately a friend said it's not the dreams I'll miss that yellow room and making you spit reptile laughs on a rock in the sun.

Bank Beach 02:31
You can hear the ocean roar even in dull summer bank lines don't you know put your ear to the teller and tell her you hear the sea screaming paperclip machine squeal stapler clap noise peek from diffuse keyboard purposeless-ness close your eyes feel the sand on your toes little bank brine kisses it's so easy to miss this.

We kissed them like home. We kissed them like anger burns tape worm hungry. Gnawing glow puke green deflates like spray-fire doubts made good lunch How much life lives hoisting shoulds like flags plopped foreign-packed unearthed far off soldiers fighting in dirt and they only ever hugged us out mirth But didn't you know mountains are always dry But didn't you know they were just lungless foothills Maybe they thought if they could shake the fruit from a good tree they wouldn't be barren too Maybe they thought that summer fruit was all to frightening. And you thought all those dead trees looked pretty like veins or lightning Well I guess they do if I crook sideways But then the wind blew and you were cold. But then the wind blew and you were cold.
