Week 1: Ripple
04:01
|
|||
You placed a cloth over my face
the edge like a row of teeth frayed
the sun on my skin
softly breathing in
My hand stretched in some exacting poise
demonstrating with careful poise
the mountain range bleached to the color of sun
My feet and yours in the cool clean river water
Refrain:
So many worlds in just one ripple
Can I stay in this moment forever?
Little strands we leave behind
I want to be wise, I want to be wiser
Not waste my life
That's not enough
Can't be who I want to be like this
Wasting my head in some ridiculousness
Sliced my thumb right into some cabbage
Sewed my nail right on with your baggage
Did I love you then, did I really love you then?
Did we fall into something and never stop falling
Made a choice to keep it going?
Driving the u-haul
talking to my sister
You pulling away felt like a scissor
to my arms and to my liver
Tied a little knot together
A series of knots can make a rope
I want to be your buddy want to be your dope
{Refrain}
The feeling of the cloth over my face
white and thin soft from use
the light shining through a translucent window
through which I can really see you
The trees are waving behind your head
Your artist eyes seeing me through
I think you're the most beautiful person
I think you're the most beautiful person
I think you're the most beautiful person

Week 2: Berlin
03:26

The wind blows down the grassy runway
You run til you tire, the sky a bright sunny grey
Templehofer Feld, a pretty cold June
The sun on your face warms you like a bloom
Everyone seems happier here
far from the insaner sphere
Refrain:
I don't want to leave Berlin
I don't want to leave Berlin
When I go back to my home
Gonna take this freedom I'm owed
Took a train my boy in tow
He waves at the people waiting below
If we stay here, he won't know his folks
The Alpine landscape unfolds out the windwo
geodesic dome flapping in the wind
Should we be brave and risk a bad end?
{Refrain}
Back in Atlanta, sitting in the car
Been here for an hour, haven't made it very far
My body twitching, we have to get out
I whisper but I really want to shoult
This is where we both were raised
The weather's in our bones
these trees activate
If we take our boy to another place
What will be erased?

Week 3: New Disaster
03:47
|
|||
sick tree fungicide
loose being bees inside
waste a day regret a life
losing a grip on what it's like
brother tell her what you did
cut the heart of the katydid
anoles coming out in spring
a brighter sun changes everything
chorus:
never gonna lose the thread
hanging off your electric head
goodest ghost you tell a story
where everyone's nice and no one's scary
you got struck in a telephone booth
the water flooding around your boots
the hills awash with a green river
heading down mudslide central
everywhere's a new disaster
got a son have you a caster
put it on wheels it'll move much faster
put it on wheels it'll move much faster
tried to grasp my hands around it
a puff of smoke still it felt good
a bowl of gas doesn't make a supper
wanted a break but I took an upper
{chorus}
