Coal

darling you've got the prettiest eyes
and when you walk through a room I sort of die
I like all the hardest parts of you
you make beautiful every shade of blue
I like the way you say my name
when that whiskeys got your tongue aflame
and I like the way you read Kerouac
manana darling I'll promise that
so take my heart
and press it into coal
I'll make all your fires brighter
make sure you don't spend a god damn minute
cold
sometimes I see a white truck pass through
and I think wisconsin misses you
though surely not more than I do
send me another song or two
and I want nothing than to be
always with you in up north country
sure I know you gotta leave
but for now I'll forgo that misery
we should drive to the carnival
three towns away rip through the pines
and we should be the only ones
dancing round neon funnel cake signs
so take my heart
and press it into coal
I'll make all your fires brighter
make sure you don't spend a god damn
minute cold

Lake Life

I know you're disappointed
I can see it in your eyes
I'm fucked up
I can't lie
And I know that you see me like a star in the sky
I don't know, don't know why
Honey I've been trying to get to the bottom of this
dark lake
and honey I convinced you to follow me and that was
my mistake
cause I wouldn't be here without you
you would be free without me
break apart this house
let's foreclose, let's move out
you liked the way I poured your coffee in that cafe
left your number for me
I overthought calling you smoked a cigarette or two
or three
we spent our nights beneath the pines
drinking cheap red wine
rather sleep on needles than a bed
now we've got weeks and months and miles
I don't really see you smile anymore
honey I've been trying to
get to the bottom of this dark lake
and honey I convinced you to follow me and that was
my mistake, because I wouldn't be here without you
you would be free without me
break apart this house, let's foreclose
let's move out
let's move out
let's move out

Lilacs

I thought about cutting lilacs for you
but I cut my own palm
the blood drips onto stem onto soil I think
I think you were wearing black
or maybe that dark dark gray
that makes me think of black holes and dead stars
anyways you blended in with the smoke
from the fireworks
caught glittered glimpses of you through explosions
in the sky
you you said we were something
meant to be
then tucked my hair behind my ear
what a bittersweet memory
I've never seen you as sad
as when I left
I'm sorry I hurt you like that
never wanted your tears soaking into
the cement
this is a song about love tried and true
that still crumbles apart
I hope you know that you'll always have
half of my heart.

West Texas Sun

These west texas sunsets remind me I'm alone
and this sun has me burnt to the bone
on my third cup of gas station coffee
tasting last nights cigarettes
my poor heart beating like a drum
these highways blur for me
another night where I'm supposed to be
chasing the moon to the desert
met a man last night
said he's been drinking his whole life
wished he had a wife
tried not to cry under the buzz of the neon lights
these highways blur for me
another night where I'm supposed to be
chasing the moon to the desert
