Coyote 04:56
Where do you wander when all the birds have flown? The mountain's overgrowing the valley. And don't you wonder when all the birds have flown the holy mountain home overlooking the sea. I will be your whole life. Convince yourself of your whole life.

Plateau 05:27
Lately I feel tongue-tied. Pig in a wheel. Get down your knees. Brace tight. Take what you need. You touch. I steal. Reach for a prisoner meal. Turn up your hands. Think twice. Take what you can. It doesn't matter if I don't see this through Crawl into a corner and pay my dues. 'Cause living in the cut-throat dark, it's never gonna stop Your touch, I feel. Tongue-tied. Pig in a wheel. Get down to your knees. Ask nice. You are what you plead. It doesn't matter if I don't see this through Crawl into a corner and pay my dues. 'Cause living in the cut-throat dark, it's never gonna stop. Lately I feel tongue-tied. Pig in a wheel.

Sonnet 02:25
(lyrics by Trudie Kaiser) to make me cut my teeth against the ground or wounds that wept so intimate and fresh a moment’s pause to find the cradle sound and frus'trate bitter empathy of flesh a crusted moth by force adhered to glass to fin’lly view the earth from far away I’d rather shove a rosebush up my ass than find myself and life confined to stay but in a dream I saw the world spread flat so sudden and so slight seen from the roof then pricked my thumb & on the rougher edges sat and dreamt of waking ignorant to truth when in the duller lights, unconscious then to theft I found your grandiosity had left

He's projecting the blame to the wrench.

Mudhalla 04:42
Well don't you think you need to seek your health? At least that's what myself tells myself to remember but only when it's clear I've forgotten. And memories irresistible to me keep my mouth cornered, curls head up and plainly. Burying me by the book and not by the book. For clarity, take it off my shelf. Get me some closure, throw it in the well, for reverence sake, ought I look a little closer? Upon the leaves, prints of some strange animal's weave. Let's track them down. Study them quietly while they sleep. Steady now. Don't fall back in. I'm confident. Just a peak, oh. It's taking hold. I told you so warm outside I think I'll lose my mind. And I'm home for the holidays forever. Sipping tea in Paris with a girl I still adore. See the madness coming through the amber leaves to mess me all about. Wave so long to solid ground. Thank my family. Lying face down in the frame of the door. The sunlight illuminates the dust on the floor and all the footprints that came before. And those impressions in the grime remind me that times gone by do not drive me any more than the paw print drives the paw.

Rescue Line 04:58
Rescue line, how was I supposed to know? Wade in the wake or drown, the deeper that we're pulled. Rescue line, a thread through the seams. Tread in the tide and I dry in the heat. Rescue line, how was I to tell? I bent back the weight of time I watched it all dispel. Rescue line, while we run away. We're scared of all of that catching up some day.

Before you make the call We should check the pulse, Just to be sure. You know I can stomach the smell of rotting, But I know you’ve got yourself a sensitive nose. ‘Cause all the things you wear are grey And you wear your hair so nice That I just have to look away to check the fact That a circle’s still a circle Even if it’s wreathed in black? Color streaming down your white face The music; you’re as black as I But you know I can resist the canvas emptiness And lately I’ve been painting with my right eye closed, because: All the things you wear are great, And you wear your hair so nice, But I just have to look your way and state the facts: 
That I’m as white as Sunday, When your eyes are on my back. Put us in stitches, We like to, And then burn each other black. But our circle’s still our circle, And nobody’s is exact. I hear that heart still beating, Tendons tight and releasing!

Whale Bones 05:21
Funny the way that it's so funny to say that something's funny when what you mean is nothing. For keepsake hold my secret. A thousand little shards of peace kept. Crippling desire. Someday on my way home alone, I'll stay awake for all the frozen miles. Someday on my way home alone, I'll stay awake for all the frozen hours. And would you keep me in a jar? Would it be funnier from afar? Happy, money, laundry, lately. Patient, penitent or zealously exercising jealousy. Oh hush now and look alive. Someday on my way home alone, I'll stay awake for all the frozen miles. Someday on my way home alone, I'll stay awake for all the frozen hours. This beast of mighty vertebrae swallowed every day will push against the surface 'til the animal's alive. Funny, happy, sleepy, money. Funny, happy, dirty, lately.
