A stranger in a picture frame
I know her face, I don't know her name
Her sunken eyes they paralyze
Even the best and the youngest will die
I know you
I've seen you
Young lovers lay the funeral bed
Soft on her ribs he will rest his head
And she'll be on her way by tonight
So tuck them in and turn out the light
I know you
I've seen you
But your songs never respond to mine
Our roads and rivers are cheap design
And maybe I'm a fool to kneel
Before an alter I'll never feel
I saw you laid in satin last night
Hands crossed upon a chest ghastly white
I climbed inside before the door closed
I laid awake while you decomposed
I know you
I've seen you
But your songs sang in tune with mine
Our moons and mountains, they all aligned
And maybe I'm a fool to kneel
Before an alter that isn't real

Hollows

I can see Jesus in all of the hollows between your ribs
I can see faces in all of the places that we have been
I'm loosening at the core each night you walk my floor
This power of ours, salvation devours
Just promise me that I am yours
I can hear echoes in each of the freckles across your face
I can hear voices in all of the choices that we have made
I'm staring straight at the sun, I pray you my only one
To please meet my gaze, I've not eaten in days
But the meager is better than none
I can taste flowers in all of the hours that I have spent
I can taste sweetness in all of the pieces that I have lent
No really I'm not upset, how quiet can one girl get?
A silent demeanor will surely be cleaner
Just tell me what all of this meant

Dry Eyes

Dry eyes, dry eyes
Dry eyes, dry eyes
My eyes are dry
My eyes are dry like the other guys
Dry eyes, dry eyes
My eyes are dry, oh I wanna die
Dry eyes, dry eyes
My eyes are dry like the other guys
Dry eyes, dry eyes
My eyes are dry like the other guys
For the other guys
Dry eyes, dry eyes
Honey I'm here, though you couldn't have guessed
Honey I'm weaving through curious depths
Nothing obscured, oh but nothing revealed
Sycamore silence means wider appeal
Silliest struggle, a war waged by one
But I am a man where once there were none
I wanna see where the rabbits, they run
Thinking gets old, oh and honey, I'm young
Young, young
One day I'll run til my muscles give out
One day I'll follow a ghost more profound
One day I'll pray that my wounds fossilize
One day I'll grow to a terrible size
One day I'll stand with anonymous poise
One day I'll see all these structures destroyed
One day I'll marry the horrors alive
One day the man that I'll be will arrive
Will arrive, will arrive
The hull is submerged, but my eyes, they're dry
I'm gripping the earth with the other guys
Dry eyes, dry eyes, dry eyes

Ode to Dusk

I only see the future with one eye
I'm chilled, I'm shaking, I'm barely scraping by
The atmosphere is angered by my breath
The hills glow red as we dance our way to death
How am I supposed to live,
Never getting what I give?
A quiet thief runs rampant through the trees
The soft caress of fingers under sheets
The dusk seeps in through creases in my home
A needle pierces marrow, blood, and bone
Can't go without, can't go within
I'm not cut out for breaking skin
Trim the edges, cut the cord
Are we doomed, or are we just bored?
I only see the future with one eye
I'm chilled, I'm shaking, I'm sick of scraping by
By, by, by
Bye, bye, bye
