Bowling Shoes

I died in my dream last night
Wearing bowling shoes
I fell through the sky that night
How I felt so blue
the sun it shines behind your shape
I remember your mothers house
Blue as any bird
Of all the memories we had to kill
Most were in that house
The sun it shines behind your shape
The sun it shines behind your shape

The Weight of Water

You're hiding in your prose aren't you
Hoping that the words will haunt you
Too bad there's no truth in your prose
You're hiding in your clothes aren't you
Hoping that the warmth will find you
Winter always asks for too much
There's a saying about the weight of water
The body dies and the world soon after
Too bad you lose the world when you die
You're hiding in your jokes aren't you
Hoping that the laughs will heal you
Too bad you can't laugh at your own jokes
You're hiding in your mind aren't you
hoping that the thoughts will lend you
All the sanity you may need
There's a saying about the weight of water
The body dies and the world soon after
Too bad we lose the world when we die

Strangers

My friends know I'm way too nice
I let strangers talk all night
Much as I like listening
I don't like when my ears
Built a house inside my head
So that I would not forget
Memories are just like rooms but,
You can't walk back into them
Walk back into
Walk back in the room
Cut the dog from his leash
Just to watch him piss on my feet
Watch the sun going down
Just to come back boring as hell
All the colors on your wall
Remind me that I can't draw
Most of what I do create
Comes out of a strange mistake
Oh how
Oh how strange
Oh how strange it is
Watch the dog run away
Thought he'd come back like yesterday
Watch the sun going going down
Never thought it would not come around

Baseball Game

When I hear your name
I always picture your face
At a baseball game
or in the background space
I'm sad you died
but the train ride cost too much
My new room is small I
wonder if my thoughts will follow soon
There's a dog outside
who's really loud and rude
Heaven is well lit
Try to read some books
I hear it's kind of cold
I hope you have a coat

Losing Teeth

I lose love like child loses teeth
And I've found I love best
when I'm not chewing with my cheeks
I stood bedside watching you die
You woke up only to ask why
Why not let me die?
lead me to the flame
You scrubbed me with a cloth and your wedding band
It has not been long enough
since you stood in that gown
Why not let her die?
Lead her towards the flame
