Body Aha 03:58
April and recently married A tree outside my window blooms heavy and tired and blown out sprawled on the ash-dark wall it blooms Paint on the shutters thrown open Paint on the outthrown eaves Lush spring blue is clinging to The tightly folded leaves My body is a house I rent on unknown terms I build it up Painting each room white and new Painting each room for you Painting each room for you I roll my sleeves to the elbow I roll each pant to the knee Dresses for sale are hanging down Like the flags of liberty My house is not a child’s house It’s a heavy house and mine and the air that burned me bathes me now down the bud-soaked sidewalk lines My body is a house I rent on unknown terms I build it up Painting each room white and new Painting each room for you Painting each room for you Celandine grows down the street all plated leaves and choking blooms Our flattened boxes on the floors and dusty pages fill our rooms But your body holds tight to me Spring pushes through The walls of this city White arms are Enfolding me Spring pushes through The walls of this city My body is a house I rent on unknown terms I build it up Painting each room white and new Painting each room for you Painting each room for you

Yeah I know what you think You think you can't change And you want to break out But you don't think you know a way out away from your tattoos So you set off alone You want only you But your fingers they move Your hands start to shake coming from a place, yeah, from a place so far Between two stones It's where you wake up And you don't even know How you became paralyzed, paralyzed by a dream You decide how you have to Draw the line, only if you Switch to drive, going forward Hope to glide, only once you Make the sign, destination You decide, you don't know, only you Yeah but you still find yourself Just running around And you can't find a way To break out of your skin, and you just wait, yeah, just keeping waiting again You decide how you have to Draw the line, only if you Switch to drive, going forward Hope to glide, only once you Make the sign, destination You decide, you don't know, only you I can't sleep; I'm not free; I don't know anything I can't see; I can't breathe; i don't own anything What I need, I'll break free, of the stones holding me What I need, I'll break free, of two stones holding me

Grow 03:12
Box of letters Buried under Somewhere in my closet i don’t know Lost the center As I enter Into a month or a year of I don't know And the spaces now are endless And the fire’s long gone cold I’ve got much more time than I know what to do with It reminds me I’m growing old And I know That I’ll grow alone No more shelter From whatever Skin’s the roof when tiles all erode Check the weather Lace some leather Head out into sideways sleet and snow Think that you would do the same to strengthen where it's soft And I'll begin to entertain the thought it might be lost And the spaces now are endless And the fire’s long gone cold I’ve got much more time than I know what to do with It reminds me I’m growing old And I know That I’ll grow alone Mumble something if it's just to hear the sound Of words that aren’t always stuck beneath the ground Some sounds that might say something secret if they squint And words that might say more, more than I’d admit And the spaces now are endless And the fire’s long gone cold I’ve got much more time than I know what to do with It reminds me I’m growing old And I know That I’ll grow alone Yeah the spaces can be endless And the fire embers glow I’ve got much more time so I’ll walk a road and somewhere I'll accept that I’m growing old And I know That it’s time That I grow alone

The Shakes 03:43
And when I see that place you know I get the shakes And when I see their faces something inside me gets ready to quake And I don’t know if it’s visible And I don’t know if I’m spinning all these wheels myself I’m trembling now trembling down I don’t know why I'm shaking I’m trembling now Trembling down I don’t know why I'm saying Just don’t take it away Just don’t take it away And when I hear that song I might know where I am And when I notice that I’m trembling with my hands And I don’t know if I’m ready now But I don’t know that I’d want to be if I could so I’m trembling now Trembling down I don’t know why I'm shaking I’m trembling now Trembling down I don’t know why I'm saying Just don’t take it away Just don’t take it away Ooooh...

Gut 04:11
The hills grew legs and split without a sound Now they’re marching to the edge of town Ask yourself how long you’ve been around You were dreaming when the sun went down Neon signs are crawling out the ground They’re shooting shining out of your hometown The interstate is spinning round and round And all your exit signs are coming down Four walls and one four-poster How many years before you wake How long have you been hiding How many years before you wake A job, the bar, a hunger in your gut The fences all around are thick with rust And when you close your eyes they all come down You're laughing long before they hit the ground Four walls and one four-poster How many years before you wake How long have you been hiding How many years before you wake
