My House is Loud My house is loud; it’s reflecting walls The memories bouncing in spaces Clutching for pardon in empty halls Pleading don’t leave me now The time expands and then it dies They lay together just passing by For they are ghosts to the other Asleep unspoken Now the house is loud The walls are standing so cold I never heard you call from the window I never heard you at all It’s just a lame excuse It’s just a cause to kick There’s a million biting lines kicking outward All just caving in Just help me please Well, there was something in these walls But there’s nothing left hanging on I swear I can hear better days of kindness sometimes In the thick of the night I hear the sun come though It says, “Hey, remember”. You can still hear it in the quiet Refrain Go out and hunt for angel rays Dark against the wall above Like Devils dancing for our love Their eyes as deep as water below My house is screaming in answers My house is screaming in answers The house is drowning in answers The house is drowning without you Just when I needed you most you said goodbye

Three Walls 02:48
Three Walls I was down in New Orleans in 2013 There on the wall of a building in chalk line Read someone’s awakening or shattered dream It said, Jesus is a melting snowman It said, Jesus was a melting snowman All the suns are gone from the walls where they rose It seems that their shine had dimmed Now screws and chipped paint mark her poignant woes And the suns light the insides of boxes The suns light the insides of boxes There’s a map that I stare at with my morning tea The pushpins tell dusty stories Marking great spaces between land and sea But now only the distance between us

Dublin Rooftops Somewhere there’s a slide show It wouldn’t play now, the device deceased, device deceased But in a corner in my mind it plays all the time Though only in fragmented bursting scenes There’s a part where the rain came through the radio Dublin rooftops stepping out and up to the night Familiar city stretches and breathes summer air From our tiny window we climbed onto the moon And heard the Temple choir stumble far below our pew There’s a part where the rain came through the radio Leaning heads on windows, singing to the sky Outside was…? Outside was…? I can’t remember You sat on the curb and cried then I found you water There were brilliant colors in the night It felt good to make you smile; it felt good to make you smile At the edge of a midnight we buried the bottle dry In a promised to come back; in a promised to come back In a promised to come back 10 years gone Leaning heads on windows, singing to the sky Driving towards…? Driving towards…? I can’t remember Somewhere there’s a slide show It wouldn’t play now, the device deceased, device deceased But in a corner in my mind it plays all the time Though only in fragmented bursting scenes There’s a part where the rain came through the radio

Hard Dying Time There’s a girl who fought for space Because she couldn’t stand the room She needed fireworks ablaze In open skies exploding To light the rails and change her chase She burned her house to roman glass And shook the scales to wake the wolf Ruminate remove the past Into piles of hard dying time She’s a roller-skate stomach first time She’s the belly of winter in the summertime Don’t give yourself away In open skies exploding Would you blink it away, blink me away? I’d light the rails and change this chase I’d burn this house to roman glass And shook the scales to wake the wolf Ruminate remove the past Into piles of hard dying time Well, lay down, lay down A bullet’s got to land I can’t come with you where you’re going But I never left till now Remember our songs, they were worth a lifetime Remember a lifetime with random acts of love The idea of you still lingers It is perfect and it’s flawed It is flawed magnificent Magnificently so We’d light the rails and change the chase We burned the house to roman glass And shake the walls to wake the wolf Ruminate remove the past Into piles of hard dying time

Railroad Self Loose track of your railroad self It sounds all right till it sounds all wrong We convince ourselves in the words we implore They’re poignant, pretty, and sweet as pennies Pitched against some dying door Loose track of your railroad self Somewhere down the long, long line There’s a bend that breaks and cures But no one ever really breathes that air We just die trying then try some more There’s a lonely sound It’s your railroad self too far to mend Loose track of your railroad self There’s not much fun running ‘round tonight I miss you too much to even really try Not worth the sirens, not worth the pavements Just empty chasing, fictionalized See how she goes away See how she’s gone away She’s a lonely sound and gone gone gone

Punch of the Day I can hear you in my mourning It was all a ghost of things that you’ve said Every word saved and calling out From beds of staggered years compressed in time The numbered days reside here inside I believed you in our time together I held you up and you the same for me We just pass by and through our time There’s nothing more to say, nothing to say Until our time resigns here inside The words escape explode Bursting to testify that we are fully alive They shimmer in our minds, cry out Carried home by lions in yellow sun In roses blooming, faces beating red As madness burned against our love No, no, no Ride blind in your town tonight To lean against some tide Removing pieces of our love and longing It feels so good and keeps you moving Beyond the punch of the day

Song For Summer Well, she said that she was brave But brave to stay or brave or go? She doesn’t really seem to know But she feels free, she feels free She wants to buy a world of wonder She wants to cry a song for summer She gets to me, ‘cause I know that summer too There is pain flying, kicking in doors It makes her run wild, reckless and sure Her sirens spinning, singing loud Burning up, they call to be free She hears the wind it moves too slowly She wants to cry she knows she’s lonely She gets to me, and I’m feeling lonely too We’ve come undone at times We’ve come undone at times The words undone, in your song for summer Our words undone Did she suppose, suppose to know Of heaven or hell, heaven or hell? The lamb and the wolf, they don’t know They drown and die, never free The goddamn sky, it blows away “So it goes”, is what she’s saying Winning and loosing, it’s all the same You take what you want, then feel free She wants to buy a world of wonder She wants to write a song for summer She gets to me cause I know that summer too She gets to me cause I know that summer I never wanted to be lovers that would call it an end

Like Fading Stars She was beholden to attention her way Someone said it was beautiful She could light the air To shine without time It shone throughout her hair then was gone I can see her dancing midair Miles above the line It was a place we came together And never marked the time Churning up through wheels all turning Driven into the road We are the dust of a million patterns That wonders where to go We were hoping for something different Where everything is missed Where satellites won’t loose their orbit to sail away Gone Wait for me Where have you gone? You are clouded in confidences We’re speaking down, past, beyond Feel the world spinning ‘round See the stars moving outward They’re pulling from here Me here, and you there, same fading stars Somewhere, we were somewhere Like same fading stars Oh, you were somewhere like fading stars Somehow, we were shining Like fading stars

I was there when you said the words Under the biggest sky I’ve ever heard It was quiet as hell, and held us as one In the canyons that poured below the blue Spilling ‘round us so high and so low You were there; the words in the sand I held your eyes, I don’t understand The sun in your cloths, the light in the wind We gave up our fear and let go To a promise that was marked by the waves Do you remember the sound? The light of things they are falling In the cause that we choose And In this cause that we’ve fallen under Shining fields are what we find The light of things is all the time The weight of things in my mourning The weight of things in your view And in the wave that we’ve fallen under Shining fields are what we find The light of things is all the time You make light of these things Now close as continents are away The devil called at the end of your stay As our burning time crashed to the sea We were love that died in the air From an arrow of secrets that you shared Then the distance came in...
