Power lines draw an arch ‘cross the sky as red and rusty as blood. From the backseat I could theorize all those things to come. But beneath the pines, we committed the crime of being much too young To realize we had time on our side, but now that’s over and done. On fire escapes the whole city shakes as the air fills with dust It’s not hard to see that when we breathe it’s much too dangerous But you said to me that you had to leave and I said well if you must. But don’t expect me to ever grieve for the ending of us. The distance is getting further each day. The memories are starting to fade. The distance is getting further each day. The memories are starting to fade.

Black Maria 03:44
Turning slowly towards the sun, to look back on all you’ve done. Tar-paper covered walls couldn’t contain it all. Oh, Black Maria x2 Beacon of the Garden State. The whole world illuminates. Pictures of butterflies and Ghost Dance before our eyes. Oh, Black Maria x2 You built the lights that burned out the night And you made the waves that crackle and fade. Oh, Black Maria x3

Hail to the rain, and to the day that we walk away. And we’ll celebrate our escape from this empty place. Hail to the snow, and to the glow after the show. And what we think we’re owed, it won’t cover what we don’t know. Here’s to the age of, never giving up. But this is the year of, more the same. Hail to the hail, the times we fail, the times we don’t succeed. Further up the trail we’ll discover where we’re meant to be. Here’s to the age of, never giving up. But this is the year of, more the same.

So close you can feel it when they turn their backs. I know excuses they don’t make up for facts. And they’ll do it again. It’s just too easy to... Come on, hang on to the things you never had and my attention. Come on, hang on to the things that make you sad and my affection. You said no love song would ever do, so I wrote this one for you. But you’re not even listening, and there’s just too many to... Come on, hang on to the things you never had and my attention. Come on, hang on to the things that make you sad and my affection. It’s starting to sink in, what we’re up against, what we’re up against. It’s starting to sink in, the ones that we call friends, the ones that we call…

Tracers 03:33
Make me, don’t tell me when to smile. Maybe that’s just not our style. But if we don’t meet your gaze, we’re the ones who have to pay. What do you believe? Who are you to tell us how and where to be? We already occupy this space. No exclusions. This time you have been traced. What are you afraid of, my sweet side? If we don’t fit your definitions, you denigrate us and cover it with lies. What do you believe? Who are you to tell us how and where to be? We already occupy this space. No exclusions. This time you have been traced.

I’m waking up from sleeping. I didn’t dream that you were keeping, A place for me next you, so now we’re one, when we were (two/too) Afraid to turn on the lights and see what kind of horrors might Be waiting there under our beds, we pulled the covers to our heads but Now, the sun shines through the shades, And we both awake, to find, that we were always okay. So we’ll dance as the stereo sings songs of love, and loss, and hope. And try to act like visionaries living beyond binary Systems like, wrong and right, and us and them, and day and night I count the stars in your eyes and in your arms I realize that Now, the sun shines through the shades, And we both awake, to find, that we were always okay. I don’t wanna go to sleep again, ‘cause I am already dreaming. And now, the sun shines through the shades, and we both awake, to find, that we were always okay.

From the legion halls to the liquor stores, And the shopping malls to the reservoir, We are all searching for more, but we won’t find a single thing tonight. And the parking lot, pay phones, And the gas station to the mobile homes, We just want some place to go, but there’s no where that we belong tonight. Yes I am aware that there is no reason, But I’ll never know completion. And I’m lousy with your best intentions, And these secrets, I’ll surely tell. From the legion halls, to the liquor stores.

You’re up against another incline, But you’ve already resigned To prove yourself, that you’re divine But no one here is too surprised, By your blighted courage or the fear in your eyes, And they’ll encourage you to not even try. So you attempt to cover your crimes, And desperately to memorize Your stories and your alibis, But you know that they’re a lie, That you tell yourself so you can sleep at night, And keep from feeling petrified. And what we’ve found, is where we draw the line, it changes all the time. And we are bound, to these intersecting lives, it’s yours and theirs and mine. So now it’s up to you to decide, Whether to run and hide, Or face those things that you despise In yourself and realize, That they won’t just stand by, while you try to make up your mind. What we’ve found, is where you draw the line, it changes all the time. And we’re still bound, to these intersecting lives, it’s yours and theirs and mine.

St. Anne 03:48
The rain will remain, until you’re old, older than this. You say to yourself, “Something seems askew and amiss.” These calendar pages go on for ages and years I know it’s not what you would hear Oh Anne I know you’re growing up. And it never feels near enough. You’ve made exceptions & concessions out of hand. It’s not too hard to understand. Silent armies marching in the streets, Roll over everyone they meet. But we’ve gotta take that chance, So that we can dance to the beat. We’ve lost the forest for the trees. That someday will rule everything.

Red, red red sweater, someone pulled the thread Unread letter, something left unsaid Your so clever, I was so misled I knew better, but you got in my head … We’re finally letting go, we’re leaving it behind Out here on our own. Unknown and undefined We’re waiting on a sign. We’re laughing with our friends We’re buried by the sound. We hope it never ends … Let’s stay here till this make sense Build a brand-new monument To the strange and the mundane The panoply of existence. Let’s slow down and take our time Settle up in our minds And try to feel something real For the rest of our lives.

Permafrost 05:17
You speak and spell numbers and letters well You go away forever and a day I know, I’m sure you’ve heard this all before It always sounds the same. You’re like the ocean tide You leave everything behind And I can’t decide If it’s all by design Winters return, you’d think someday I’d learn to To go to sleep, to make the most of things and I know, I’m lost. This life is permafrost and It barely melts at all. You’re like the open sea You break too easily And it’s all tragedy When you’re next to me. You’re never just okay You’re never just alright

The yearbook portrait photographer, just can’t understand. Her fine art degree in photography hasn’t turned out like she planned. She goes around from school to school taking pictures of mathletes, the jocks and the cool kids and the band geeks and faculty too. It’s unfulfilling but what can she do? She has to make a living. The yearbook portrait photographer, spends most of her days, Wondering how all the plans that she made seem to go so astray. She sits alone in her studio and remembers the dreams of gallery shows, Pulitzer prizes and exhibitions, but now she has this sinking suspicion she isn’t truly the living. But what she can’t see, is what her pictures mean. In purses and wallets and Christmas cards send to distant relations afar, And passed between high school lovers that write on the backs, “Have a great summer!” It’s all lost on her. The yearbook portrait photographer
