letters: homing stranger
02:06

a man writes a letter to his wife as he flees unspeakable horrors
there you go into the night
before the sun will rise
and if we meet again my love
i know that I will find
something else has come for me
something in the night
intangible well that would be sweet
its subtle but awful bright
just like you
just like you are
homing stranger
bubblewrap manger
and in the light it will come for me
upon the moonlit wall
and take me as i close my eyes
and fall in the floor
just like you
just like you did
roaming taser

childhood memories of AIWS
all these things seem larger
than before
seems ive lost my height
or sunk
cuz i dont see it
i don't see it
anymore
i cant reach it
i cant reach it
anymore
i used to be
so tall
even at an age when i was
small
but i don't see it
i don't see that
anymore
its so present
it is pasted on every wall
let me tell you
about it
alarm clock
close to me
less than 2 feet
now
its over there
its in the same place
but further away
i havent
moved from the bed
the bed is the size of my feet to my head
and now im
lying in a parking lot
i dont see it
i don't see it
anymore
something else has
covered it from before
it not right
its coming every night
one day maybe it will slow
sympathetic i am writing on the wall
at this age i don't know what it means at all
ha ha ha ha

a trinket for my car?

an open letter
stolen water (I know)
in a pail
for the village
someone
going to
lose a hand for this one
theyve got enough
they've got enough
they've got far too much
they've got
oceans of the stuff
and everyone else
is drinking drops from up high
sold out
around about
at the time
that its most convenient for you
i know
all about
the little tricks that you use to keep control
but you've got enough
you've got enough
you've got far too much
someone
should do
something
about people like you
there's no
room here
for you and what you hold dear
cuz you've had enough
you've taken enough
you've run us dry
all the time
and what for?
a trinket for my car?
and never ending servience to you
well i'm good
i've seen enough
i know that im walking on your palm
but you can
close it
cuz I wont be your doormat

letters: lady elise
01:36
|

|
a former sailor reminisces about a time before
lady elise
lying on the beach
it was so beautiful
before the bombs fell
that's why im writing you a note
cuz i miss the boats
and eating dinner on the bay
life was much better that way
not like now
everywhere is the ground
i'm always stood steadily
and it makes me uneasy
cuz i want to float
on my own or in a boat
i want to feel the sun
without always having to run

polly questions the nature of the world around her
how do you outrun a dream
how do you get clean?
do you wonder why
its getting harder to see the sky
and does it make you sad
do you look longingly into the black
or do you lie on the floor for no reason
did you pick your side
do you know why you picked your side
can you back it up
and if you cant why did you make that choice
were you confident
that you would catch the man
who stole all of your time
and did you make good distance
on your way to him
and did you get whats right
did you choose your label
do you know why you chose that label
can you back it up
and if you cant then why did you not give it up
did you check for this
did you make sure to check for that
did you double check
did you know that this
contradicts with that
and did you know that it contradicts with you

ode to streetlamp
01:36
|

|
boe sees his future in the glow of a halogen streetlamp
something has caught my eye
i know that i will die
i saw it in the light of a streetlamp
it showed the time the place
location and where i will face
they'll put me in a vase
where i will stay forever
but it wont matter to me
cuz i've got no agency
i lost it long ago and now
i hope and see
