1000 years ago I’m already dead
or my second life had just started
my mother’s playing Bunco up above
and father might as well be as well
I know
I don’t have time
I’ve got to go
where my love lies
there are no walls
as the crow flies
so if I was born back then
I’d already be flying
could this be
my second life

al despertar
puede haber un leve
zumbido en tus oidos
you look up in the sky
see a plane going by
people in the seats
all different kinds
all added up
must weigh a ton
but gravity doesn’t care
who they are, what they’ve done
all flying safe
now say everyone
gets pushed out the plane
except people like you
all popping around
face covered in blood
would you still say to me
what a beautiful day
I talked with Angelica
we agreed it won’t be the same
but the future’s brightness
always starts from here

we were waking up as the sun went down
pockets empty, paid the Federales off
who what where when and why
I didn’t know
doing everything I can
so that I don't
I was the first to see the driver lose control
we bake our bodies in the sand as a ritual
thread through a needle’s eye
tailored to fit
to want for nothing and ask
is this all there is?
sky is guard and sun is prisoner
paint me in the corner and lock the key
just promise from time to time you’ll think of me
and every day that passes
priced high or free
consider they’re all signed, best wishes
a gift from me
they’re all gifts from me
sky is guard and sun is prisoner
I don’t know why I go anywhere
I don’t know why I deserve anything

Rainbow Baby
05:46
|
|||
the morning came as many have come
met in the middle of a six-week run
10 years divided but never apart
maybe a fire should finally come of the spark
a year had passed us with nothing changed
some plants had died in the neighborhood heat wave
it wasn’t odd for her to be late
but for some reason this didn’t feel the same
a little window, inside a cross
we couldn’t wait to tell everyone
yeah it was early but we didn’t care
who’s feeling heavy when you’re lighter than air?
pass the baton we carry
from who we were to who we will be
are we running or waiting?
I was an immediate nutritionist
we upped our proteins and antioxidants
soaked in magnesium, tried to relax
tried not to say names but we weren’t good at that
Chris mailed his book on what to expect
they were on their first and we were next
those first two weeks felt just like a dream
painting the future as if from memory
it was a Tuesday, store was on strike
came back to see the plants coming back to life
I found her kneeling, showed me some blood
wasn’t a lot but it must’ve been enough
the doctor said it was chromosomal
tears in the drive-through before we came home
they never tell you, she’ll blame herself
it’s powerlessness I’ve never felt myself
pass the baton we carry
from who we were to who we will be
we're waiting for our rainbow baby
waiting for our rainbow baby
we're waiting for our rainbow baby

am I really
shuffling the deck?
please tell me
how the
Grim Reaper is good again?
how many times
can I say
I’m doing fine
and not think our
cuckoo clock is just as sane
there are as many stars as worries
aim me at the Little Dipper
cuz they’ve been worried
about me
am I really
taking each step?
you touch my face
telling me the Fool
is one of the best to get

Rachel Takes a Bath

Rachel takes a bath
draws a funny face in the fogged-up glass
she reads the empty can
the Dead Sea was the bath salt’s homeland
120,000
years ago it was dried up and left for dead
so is this its second life?
ooooo
I hope so
looming from the past
the last five things she said after they met up last
questions never-asked
is the earth’s lowest point there or where I am?
why can’t I make it right?
how long is this stupid night?
can I have a second life?
can I have a second life?
ooooo
I don’t know
pain has got to pass
one drop of water can break the dam
120,000
years from now I’m a crystal of salt on the sand

I found myself in the same place I always find myself to be
two eyes staring back at me while the ground is all my two eyes can see
the dents in the wood from the broken staple gun I was framed
the more I love you the more I hope your love doesn’t go away

5 Years (feat. Combat!)

5 years / I’ve stared
at my phone / hoping
with each / robo / caller
it might / be you
I feel / so dumb
each day / all day
cause they / just call / so much
and I / pick up
I wish / I’d learn
we said / too ma-
ny things / that shook / the earth
prepared / we weren’t
so I’m not / trying to
gaslight / when I say
that we / were both / to blame
is that / OK?
I’ve rehearsed this too many times now
I’ve been so alone like I’m living in a lighthouse
picture frames are rearranging
themselves as if they might be alive now
so many things that I wouldn’t mind now
how you used to love me so much you’d have a cry now and then
earthquake numbers on the rise now again
but I don’t wanna wait for the
big
one to hit
for me to call you
so if I do
will you
pick up?

100 Years
03:29
|

100 years ago
just think of how hard it was
if you were living in the next town
felt like an ocean in between
the days, the weeks, the months, the years
to say hello or goodbye
much less to apologize
how many died in the crossing
well I don’t live very far
if you want
want to talk
if they could only see
the things that we can do now
the judgement they would pass down
serving drinks by my guillotining
well here I am trying to cross the water
keys in my hand, 20 minute drive over
and all I can do
is try to believe
they didn’t die for nothing
cuz I don’t live very far
if you want
want to talk

The Heist
03:11
|
|||
I was staring at you eating saltines when I realized
if we make it to tomorrow then we’ve pulled off our greatest heist yet
it’s seven weeks and one day since the new job started
last time we got that far we were busted by the exit
we poured over blueprints and argued timetables
we agreed we were mad just because we weren’t able
to pull it off
it’s the second life we’ve tried to steal from the angels
now we’re back here grinning while we know we may have to
try again
maybe after 12 weeks we can both stop pretending
and maybe 40 we’ll be watching a miracle sleeping
and then it’s 10 years helping it build a volcano
and then it’s 17 coming home high after curfew
and it would be so nice
I guess that’s only if we can get to tomorrow
once we’re there we’ll be ok knowing we may have to
try again
