Roman Candles

it’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day
then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
a hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
the acidity devouring my body
but i am learning to let go
of everything i tried to hold
too long ‘cause they all explode
like roman candles
i used to feel everything like a flame
but now it’s a struggle just to feel anything
i watch the world from a window on a hill
everyone moving as i’m standing still
but i am learning to let go
of everything i tried to hold
too long ‘cause they all explode
like roman candles

Here To Forever

in every movie i watch from the ‘50s
there’s only one thought that swirls around my head now
and that’s that everyone there on the screen well they’re all dead now
and it ain’t easy living above
and i can’t help but keep falling in love with bones and ashes
and when the color’s too bold and bright
i’m daydreaming in black and white until it passes
i wanna know the measure from here to forever
and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever
oh these days it’s so hard to relax
you gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile
and the only way i seem to cope
is by trying to hold on to hope
if just for a while
i wanna know the measure from here to forever
and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever
and now it seems more than ever there’s no hands on the levers
and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever
holy rollers keep rolling
while the searchers keep scrolling

there was a man who used to live by the ocean
but he never set foot in the sea
it made him nervous that the water was always in motion
and he feared the creatures who swam beneath
and when i asked him how he’d ended up there
above a world he would never know
he said he’d driven all the way across america
and when he got to the edge there was nowhere left to go
nowhere left to go
he said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains
as he quoted black kettle’s death song
the words drifting off into the emptiness
of this great land where we’ve never belonged
and while the frontiers are ever-expanding
our living rooms fall into disarray
and no one seems interested in fixing what they’ve broken
they just sweep the pieces into the bushes and slip away
and slowly slip away
and now he and i watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut
where a forest once grew high and wild
for what is a funeral without flowers
and ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky
reaching for the sky
