Candlelight
Candlelight starts a fire
And that fire
Starts off the night
And so
So you start a fire
And that fire
Starts off the night
Stuck like super glue
Stuck like an angel in the snow
These mindless conversations
Go through the nation
The less you know
Time
Time ticks on and on
Even if the time is wrong
To start off the night
And try
There's a million reasons why
You try to stay so shy
Just keep on moving

Childhood Crush

She's a sleeper cell hidden in plain sight
You have been friends for years but just now you realize
She has been letting you know the whole time
She has seen you change throughout your life
You lose interest one too many times
She knows your ins and outs she knows your favorite bites
You've gone to the movies together more than twice
But you can't see what she's been saying as she writes
In permanent ink across your eyes
Let us carry on for your sake
I have checked out for several days
At least my phone still has service sometimes
How my heart isn't alone why don't I
Call when Rushmore floods its eyes
Why don't I stand on the mountain I'm pushing
America open up your eyes
America open up your heart
I have been speaking to you all afternoon
But nothing I have said is coming through to you
Is any of it true
or true to you

I'm lost in a liar's kiss
She asks me how I'm doing
But a promise is a promise
And I've always kept my promises
Mistakes own me
I try to own up to them too
There is no way I am sure
There is no way I can be hurt
I wish that were true
Light it consumes me
But it costs so much
Death you are amusing
But you won't win this war
I've got a Friend who's got a cage for you
I've got a Friend to put an end to your rule
Do You hear me?

I’ve had a tough week all my life
After you left I couldn’t tell
You can do this
you are the only one
All of this has been my fault until now
I have always loved you
Don’t save me over this town
They have more to live for
they have more to be let down
Time is after me again
If it could change I know you would
Now that it’s changed I know you should
This is bigger than pirates
but it’s all on you
All the little things we’ve done
So goes this time we polarized
Come on darling, quiet eyes
We lost and won inside your mind
Everything will stay the same
Or at least by another name
Have an open mind
I’m not the only one
Everyone is as real as the stars
I am not so sure of it
There are chills now down my spine
I wish you were here to comfort me
Down in this room I’m left behind
Now I’m just a memory
Let me be
please

A felefold of characters
Gathered at your funeral
I scanned the crowd
To learn who you had become
When the waters grew cold
I saw you for what you were
Shimmering water
Please glance below me
Snow descends in sunlight
With a broken tease
Unkempt lioness
Standing before me
Carry your heart to my tomb
Collective cries from that street corner
Easy etchings for a third act scene
I have never left these islands
If you cry don't cry about me
Please
don't cry about me

It felt crazy in the moment
I saw an archipelago of human fantasy
We were sailing out of port
The sun had gone down offshore
Caribbean houses perched on the hillside
This is their fantasy and ambition
The distance I felt of this sailor
I felt no kinship with them
Take me home to Seattle
To watch the distant shore
I want to know all your battles
I don't want to know you anymore
