blinds in summer heat

a couple days after the fireworks, you're late
a groupie says, 'tie me with velvet rope and wait.'
I'm sorry I didn't stick around to meet
the story won't end like blinds in summer heat
I'm taking a couple of extra longer days
it's making the moonlight pray for purple haze
send me to the floor without my dancing feet
friendly till the end like blinds in summer heat
your face looks familiar but no one knows your name
the place I remember was home but not the same
I have a spot to sit down but I haven't got a seat
I wish it wasn't hot like blinds in summer heat
the sun can't make it passed the shadows on the street
the one I'm following is blind in summer heat
and looking for an escape

wearin' bearskin to get through the night
where to begin without any light
I told a secret for a dirty thrill
to the wind of magnetic hill
it won't forgive as long as we fight
come with me to (3x)
magnetic hill
head down face plant in mid-afternoon
look up, I can't it's too early, June
I sold a secret for a party pill
to a girl on magnetic hill
time stood hold still
I'm coming too soon
come with me (3x)

rays upon rays

used to get down uptown we are
stray cats almost honey blue
don't wait the past will stick around
we found now I'm going through
in the outback out back
feel the pulse sing loudly with a tune
used to get crazy far from home
but the past left you
rays upon rays
feels like you've been gone for days
far away
heading out for a dart back again
now I'm inside someone's head
but it's not today it won't change
pray it won't get out of bed
with a ruler and a blank tape
someone give'r one take getting down
two takes going down
that's a heavy weight don't wait
my honey blue you're almost shining through
almost shining through (2x)
one take getting you
two takes shining through
wait it 's hard when you're alone
the past left you
rays upon rays
feels like you've been gone for days
far away

your anthem
05:10

I saw Celise in the crease for a moment
she mother's 3 just for me and she shouldn't
if I go what's the point in all the effort
if she knew then she turned her back on comfort
time to shine never mind it would just blind you
dim the light overnight I think it suits you
don't agree or decree that is what you meant
knock it down to the ground and whisper your anthem
to me
a narrow hall made for all that wish to go down
the only view left for you is what is around
pick a place any place you need to reply
is your face a disgrace to every blind eye
tell Celise the extra piece is just for plan B
if she knows let her go she shouldn't be free
take the pill no one will it happened again
knock it down to the ground and whisper your anthem
to me
let me please see Celise in Autumn shimmer
remove the chrome from my home in time for winter
if the light fades to white I'll say it again
the wall is down so hear the sound
I'm singing your anthem to you

see through the blood
04:01

hold me in a cell
make it tough to breath in my own skin
you told me I'm in hell
I don't think I'll lose but I won't win
show me what to do
make it easier for a rare day
I'm hardly seeing through
looks to me like you're far away
so far away
help me see on through
do I still believe when I don't see?
I was partly blaming you
thoughts that weren't thought by me

don't trust the bureau of me
said a smiling buddha sitting on the bar
crossed-legged in the gold paint
ain't he angry bout something?
I stared him down
press club holding a pear to eat
back under vines hold plenty
and Jenny ain't smiling here anymore
the wall is a door
chess and check and tell me stories again
about the cold, calm time we met
I bet you want to kiss me when you do
entourage bacon always round town
sleeping in a hammock
let's all get along pass the bong
Tuesday we'll catch a pow
someone's on the prowl
on our wild nights out
you don't want to say anything I can understand
I don't want to see anything that you can
with the lights out
someone standing over there waved at you
back on a jiffy poppy
never told you you're the star
forget I even brought it up instead I said wassup
nickname Jesus with a tat allergic to cats
and a swinging pad big enough for dancy bands
tell me twice you want to leave
I can't believe it now
you're on the prowl

round trip

I saw it yesterday
it's just a game we play
it's gone for good
I don't know what to say
I might as well just stay
under the hood
I saw this place before
a coast without a shore
another time
revolving with the door
I thought it'd show me more
but then I find
I'm looking back at you
a circle without blue
I see your eyes
what do you think you do
I don't know what is new
even surprise
I've seen your face before
I knew that face before
another day
revolving with the door
it only showed me more
of a single way
with you, now, we go on through
is there a requiem
is this the final end
does someone know
I won't do it again
I say that now and then
against the flow
I've seen that stop before
I don't know what it's for
on a round trip
revolving with a door
that failed to show me more
with you, now, we go on through

It's been a little while since I felt okay to hang with you
I think we all made imaginary friends
Mine would sing me songs about the skies when they were blue
and promised to be with me until the end
We're going through to sun
We're going through as one
It's been a little while since you felt okay to come on by
I got a lot more letters in the mail
Sitting in the dark waiting for the day I can see the sky
Hoping the world's okay if we fail
We're going through to sun
We're going through as one
(2x)
It's been a little while since we got together in the park
Everything has changed and nothing's new
Time to use your time when everything is in the dark
The only way around is going through
We're going through to sun
We're going through as one
