For Now
keeping her tight so deep inside me
rocking her light figure so gently
if only she'd rest there quietly
wait
I hear her breathing
feels things so deeply
she's so relentless
just hug her please
tell her I love her please
break it so gently please
that she can't see me
she's climbing out now
please hide her away
hide her away
don't let her near me
she's wondering now
please do not say
don't let her stay
where she can hear me
not sure whose fight this girl is fighting
she could be right to stir me nightly
if only she'd rest there quietly
please hide her away
hide her away
don't let her near me
she's wondering now
please do not say
don't let her stay
walk in
walk in to all this drinking
and relax down next to me
order a drink
don't say anything
let me pretend
that my life is something quiet
a moment in a movie
a movie that I like
walk in and drop your life
we can make believe
that we're anything we'll never be
rolls off the back of me
rolls off the back of me
walk up
walk up and give me your hand
and take space to side of me
offer a smoke
show me nothing
let me pretend
that my life is something quiet
a moment in a history
a history that haunts me
walk up and raise my life
we can make believe
that we're anything we'll never be
rolls off the back of me
rolls off the back of me
I'm too big to be so small
and it's too hard to think I don't run it
that the world expands
and then collapses in on everything
I'm too small to think at all
to think at all
He walked slowly through my dreams
nightly as I sleep
come out I don't care
trust me I won't scare now, Mr. Mean Guy
no longer wear my hair
how you'd recognize me
Mr. Mean Guy never did walk slowly
He walked slowly through my dreams
nightly as I sleep
he slowly nightly walked through my dreams
fighting as I sleep
laid out, body bare
tear me I won't swear now, Mr. Mean Guy
no longer feel nor care
how you stole inside
Mr. Mean Guy never did walk slowly
He walked slowly ever sleepy ghostly
mostly as I stir and turn
praying he won't notice me
changing namely the softness that betrayed me
praying that I learn to purge the brightness that he'd seen in me
keep yourself tightly
tucked inside me
in my memory
please do not haunt me
just rest safely
I can't erase you
leave me alone
give me back my dreams
leave me alone
give me back my dreams
deeping widening
I keep on trying
to gain more distance
free me to leave you
I truly want to
if I should find the chance
leave me alone
give me back my dreams
leave me alone
give me back my dreams
once I opened up to you, so I can close out on you now
once I reached out for you, so I can reach out passed you now
once I raced toward you, so I can race from you right now

roam around
can't they see
that this will be
what brings our species down?

sing a simple song
sounds a little sad, I know
sing a wintry song
to match the cloud that hangs
that hangs
treat the snow with something sweet
and let the cold just defeat you
lay still and calm
take on the breathing
here's where I belong
though it may not seem so
'cause here is where I've found
a little warmth I've made
I've made
treat the snow with something sweet
and let the cold just defeat you
lay still and calm
my head is alive
feels separate from the rest of me
I cannot deny
it's definitely in control of things
it tells my arms to swing
it tells my feel to step
my heart beats constantly
cause it tells it not to end
my head is alive
my head is the boss
my head is in charge
it tells me I'm larger than I am
but understand, understand
my head makes me say
through my mouth and my voice
but it's my body that pays for my
head's rambling noise
when I say go, I go
but not alone
I never roam
mindlessly anymore
I sing the songs so I can bring the words
the words no one listens to
speak about fear
and hope and other things
bigger than small talk
smaller than in-betweens
and I pretend ears sit waiting patiently
to hear the messages
I alone can bring
and so as I walk alongside
my own thoughts
I pause to collect the images that I fought
for they are the simple truths
you never know your tone
until you've heard
the pulse that you bring that you sing
without words
and I cannot be the voice for more than me
cause I live suspiciously
in front of a crowd
I sing out loud, I dance
but in between songs
I slip into a trance
then I want to hide
tucked tightly in my voice
escaping the silence
into my warm noise
and so I imagine that I am someone else
who speaks to crowd as easily as to herself
and each time somehow I make it through
it's a long walk home
and I haven't seen a soul
just more and more snow under feet
spending too much time with me
but still so lonely
I feel so lonely
Why are people so lonely?
why can’t we all climb through our heads?
escape from our bodies
and simply be rid of our space?
why when we move closely
why do we frighten away?
‘cause we live our lives knowing
how lonely it is in the end
why can’t I lose form
and still be me?
I could float through those next door
and join you in your solitaire,
my solitary man
‘cause we could be solo together
and join our loneliness
we could even cease to know (remember) whether
we had bodies at all I guess
why can’t I lose form
and still be me?
I could float through those next door
and join you in your solitaire,
my solitary man
Why are people so lonely?
why can’t we all climb through our heads?
escape from our bodies
and simply be rid of our space?
why when we move closely
why do we frighten away?
‘cause we live our lives knowing
how lonely it is in the end
It’s all for now
it’s all for now, not later
‘cause I know tomorrow you’ll leave me
but, baby, it’s all for now
we were a thing
a precious thing to remember
but I know that thing will soon be over
and I’ll have to
learn to let you go somehow
and if tomorrow you seem
not to notice me
I’ll cry out my eyes
and I’ll die inside
but baby tonight don’t you worry ‘bout me
I’ll be just fine
I’ll remind myself
I’ll say out loud,
it’s all for now
just look at me now
my hands are trembling
‘cause I know come morning
you’ll leave me here so lonely
It’s all for now
it’s all for now, not later
‘cause I know tomorrow you’ll leave me
but, baby, it’s all for now
and if tomorrow you seem
not to notice me
I’ll cry out my eyes
and I’ll die inside
but, baby, tonight don’t you worry ‘bout me
I’ll be just fine
I’ll remind myself
I’ll say out loud,
it’s all for now
