Just Ropes 03:01
O look at Mary always reminding me Of waves in stereo, float to both back seats We’re always crawling back to the same seed But we stopped on the corner to buy some plants to say thanks Another person is gonna extract you The approximation isn’t exactly true Just call him Mary with ukulele strings Fertilizing who’s buried under the beetles’ wings All the lines we have memorized in our heads Are just ropes we have thrown to the dead I can show you the ropes You could stay, we could say all the poems

Comets Call 03:50
When comets call, I feel all the daggers drawn Pushing me against the wall, when comets call You were the silver sun, I was a little seed Drowning like a bug in your sunscreen I traded all my sticks, circling the earth in our wooden ships for a few terms We're falling into streams, the four posts of the shrine showered in debris, and I knew you were mine like all the pyramids, just patterns on your skirt the worst kind of itch after a sunburn after a sunburst When comets fall, I feel all the daggers drawn Pushing me against the wall, when comets fall

You must get this all the time People stare into your eyes Getting deeper every time You dive down, a life cycle I just feel so sentimental, everything I touch is tears I’ll be sponging with the youngest coral for a couple hundred thousand years You must get this all the time People stare into your eyes Getting deeper every time You dive down, a life cycle You know just how to ride on the wings of tomorrow’s sun But you don’t know if you’ll arrive I think I have found a flower, I think I can live in live in her ‘Til we’re ground into in the finest powder, another cycle round the earth You must get this all the time People stare into your eyes Getting deeper every time You dive down, a life cycle
