Post-It Note

If I want to get a word into
a conversation with you
I have to keep it short
So I wrote it on a Post-it note
all ready to go
Waiting for an opening
Listening
Let me read what I wrote
on my Post-it note

Rippin'

Teathered thru USB
Unstable connectivity
Rip myself away
Rip myself away
Wait till it's safe to remove
it's currently in use
(I can't cut loose)
Keep my cables closed and try to
keep a steady pulse
It's getting closer to the day that I'll
rip myself away
rip myself away

In the Red Brick Canyon
by the Eastern Shore
Down a narrow valley
lit by blinking stars
By the rails
of a two-way train
Beneath a burble from the distant cars
I sink my feet into the bay
where I'll live out the rest of my days

Sideswiped My Heart

You went and left your mark
when you sideswiped my heart
Revved up and red hot
Never checkin your blind spot
Spun me out out outta control
Who are you? I gotta know!
You went and left your mark
when you sideswiped my heart
It all went so fast
I can't help think that
we were always destined to crash

Cowpoke

I pay no mind to
thoughtlessness in names you use
The way that you assume
Try not to get too bent at you
What else can I do?
Some people think they kno
just from the way I spoke
Well I ain't either or both
Just call me cowpoke
What do I gotta do
for this to get thru
I don't mean to
holler shout spit get upset at you
but you just don't quit so
What else can I do?
Some people think they kno
from the way I spoke
I ain't either or both
Just call me cowpoke

Toon World

Sunlight streaming thru the back seat
as you drop me off
Waving thru a window
Looking back to when we'd pass by
yr house drawn with an outline
how slowly over time
it became less defined
Part of a grid plan
of row homes and trash cans
Tessellation
Backrounds to brisk walks
My collection of landmarks
Mapping out my life
Light still glows out from yr window
as I pass by walking home

3 points of origin
on an alignment grid
Keeping viewpoints
delineated
Skewed it's angles
bisected path
Setting endpoints
nothing overlaps,
nothings that exact
Forced perspective, forced perspective
Forced perspective, forced perspective
Dithered positions
with data missing
You need your parallels
You need your parallels
You need your parallels
Nothing lines up
Forced perspective, forced perspective
Forced perspective, forced perspective

Grim Reaper (Cover)

I'm dropping out of school
I found a new job
doing what I love
and you can't stop me now
Mom and dad
Sorry that you had
to find things out this way
I guess you could say
it's better now with me
being the one
to take your souls away
I wanna be the grim reaper
I wanna be the grim reaper
I wanna be the grim reaper
I wanna be the grim reaper
Nothing you say
could change my mind

Beach House

Built on stilts
Never knocked down
Always been around
Need a place to leave behind
with ends untied
Re-identify
or give you space to hide
Wish you were here
Buried out by the coastline
