Burn A Day 03:42
If you’re looking to burn a day You can follow me around for a taste Of a life of aluminum make Where all the running is done in place Looks like its gonna rain all week And the mountains of my valley are so very steep And Im wondering how long it’ll take For all these little houses to just wash away Ive been lost and found Ive been outpaced As Im strewn across this desert plane Went out to an old haunt When I was back in town for a couple days No one knew me there anymore I guess that “home” is a transient place Ive been lost and found Ive been outweighed Ive been strewn across this desert plane

White Loon 02:48
A White loon flew over Skowhegan metal roofs As I twiddled my thumbs And read in the backseat The endless road outstretched before us I never thought it could be so long It’s late, midnight. I awake To the gravel underneath Strange and young I dream the whole night and morning through I never thought I could dream so long I never thought I could dream so long

Josefina 02:14
We must have reached the county line by now These worn out seats are starting to get to me And the dream of fall is resting on your shoulders Don’t go Josefina I can stay clean
5.
It came on like a spell, quickly I let it do its work on me I loosened my limbs and moulded to its touch I saw the sun, It bid me hello Playing its rays off of the snow. And in the glare I felt a repose A long lost feeling I was begging to know Hope, hope, hope.

Vestibule 03:46

Poster Boy 03:07
It seems so far fetched To find someone who gets you when you’re such a damn mess I hold things so close to me sometimes But I'm reticent to share Taxis are on strike Its a long way but I think we can make it back home If you don’t mind If you’ve got the energy The poster boy has passed away And a river rose in his place Thrashing through the undergrowth Its carving out a brand new face Somethings growing out of the ashes I tried but couldn’t look away I want you still sometimes darlin but I think I moved on today

Passing Face 03:12
With all your might Shoving off another phase That ate you up and brought you rage You tend the garden, save your place And all your time Spent it on another’s wage Soaking up a passing face To turn the frown another day It hurts to know No one minds you when misery comes your way With wandering eyes You scan the sky for passing planes And see the clouds as looming things So beautiful, they haunt the day It hurts to know No one minds you when misery comes to stay
10.
Flint Smile 03:42
Oh what to do with the fire That was lit by your smile Struck with the pains of desire And I just can’t hide anymore When the bars close down for the night Do we have to say goodbye? It’s spring in the valley and it’s warm enough To stay out for awhile Just say what it is that you need to hear from me And ill come through Just speak the words and I'll come through for you
11.
Commonplace 03:54
A long day can fray the edge of your frame It’ll put down the pollen glaze round the puddles of your brain And the only touch that you feel is all old and gray But such a feeling is commonplace, there is no need to run away I plucked away all the petals and am glad to say Something may have just come my way, when I had almost left the place Could it be the truth, or am I just seeing through Foggy glasses that obscure my view, and lead me astray I wont go down I wont go down I'll be right here
