Coyote

He could’ve shedded hair like snakes
Could’ve shedded skin like skn
I was standing in the lee
Didn’t know where to begin
Hey, they couldn’t treat him
I’ll own my problems
If I can keep them
Back in the canyons
Cursing exes
Taking their habits
Coyote and rabbit

Gimme Something
02:48
|

Gimme something, gimme something
What could it be you put to your face
Gimme something, gimme something
Do you recall if everything was falling apart
If everything was falling apart
Gimme something, gimme something
I’m looking for a place where we can become undressed
Gimme something, gimme something
When I have got no love to give
Or if everything was falling apart
If everything was falling apart

Now Is Was
03:46
|

To make me humble, watching you crumble
The lines tied to my diversions
Give warning
Here, where the heft of that notion
Turning our mirror to glass
While you, becoming the roses
You’re holding
I want to be where everything now is was
I want to see where everything now is was
I wanna do right by you
I wanna do right by you
I just wanna do right

Was/ Just Was
02:21
|

Toss your fabric and stuffing
From the fire escape
Now you’re waiting on nothing
Slow on down
It didn’t feel like it was when it was
It didn’t feel like it was, but it just was
Hung up in a shirt pocket
For the world to see
Join the lost and forgotten
If I could just see
If I could just see what it was when it was
It didn’t feel like it was, but it just was

Baby
03:54
|

Baby, I will always love you
In between the times that I do not
And after all my lonesome dreams are captured
I’ll bemoan the loves that I have lost
And would you be one of them
Replace me
And would I start to
Disregard you
Here we find us in another chapter
In your building tapping at the walls
And washing in with peels of sundry laughter
And in the change from our love’s freeze to thaw
What I have lost
To think of this
What I have sought
What I would miss

Aperture
03:30
|
|||
You don’t have to, but I want for you
To want to know me better than you have to
And I’m pressed against the cold clay of your statue
And I’m wanting to look at and not just past you
With anger as an aperture
Yours is the last image I will capture
And yelling at the paper and the plaster
I’m digging deeper into this disaster
Thinking of you, looking from that armchair
At me - low-grade pining for that black hair
But I wouldn’t want to think that you’d look back there

People
03:29
|
|||
People walking by and we are talking
In the streetlight by the Polish grocery
Trying just to tie up a little tangle
You and I from such different angles
We could be anyone
People walking by and we are talking
Older than us, their-own-business keeping
You and I decide the way it catches
How it empties, if it scratches
It could happen to anyone

Winter's
03:30

Risking illness I sit on the stones on winter’s coldest morning
Waiting on not a knock at the door
Risking illness unknown to me now, I get up in the morning
The thought now remains
I can look back and say
From the edge of the stage
I was here when his life slipped away
Unfurl the thought that was plain - he could be there in the morning
Your thousand-yard stare
I didn’t feel him there
He’s gone for me now
For you, he’s around
I was his age times nine
27 on the day that he died

This

I wouldn’t mind some help with this one, babe
To do no harm in breathing minutes
While we delay to finish it
Stuck on the losing end of this green light
And out of season, bells are ringing
It’s just your voice singing
Wringing the rag of my last thoughts on this
The bells ring out of season
And I have no reason
