Blue star
Gleaming down on the road
Screaming silently
Burning up the night

Way out
On the Western Freeway
Past the neon glow
Far beyond the known
Guide me through this life

Sit back
In my old leather seat
Thinking quietly
Of that blue star

Do you ever get the feeling
That you’re not so kind of a person
Do you ever stop to think
That your words, they hurt
You’re so sweet, sweet like dirt

Do you need somebody to lean on
Did you wake up to find them gone
Have you ever wondered why
You wanna be tough,

Beside myself
Upon your shelf
Inside a jar
Is where I dwell

Come take me down
Unscrew my lid
Dissect my life
Tell me how I did

Holding back
Has only hurt
The safest ear
For my concerns

Knowing that
I'm warming up
Your eyes like a heat

Staring down a long night
Stuck on a plane without you
I'm headed home, I'm heading home

I can barely hear the silence
Drowned out by the engine hum
Out my window, carryin’ me home
To Birmingham

Through the dark, I'm wide awake
Through my second Cabernet

The track will be heavy today
Yeah, they got it sewn up real good
Copper-riveted lead pipe cinch
Copywrited, air-tight wrenched
Lady Liberty in the mud
Don’t lose your shirt
She swims in it, oh, yeah

You’ll find out when it comes out in the wash

Books in the o

I turned the page
Then I wash my hands clean
Today, I learned to
Leave the blue behind
Yeah, that’s where I left it to die

I could have lied
Told myself my hands were tied
That would only lead to
Shoehorned smiles

And nobody wants that
Nobody wants tha

It’s such a quick drive from Palo Alto
I thought I’d pack up and go
Soak up the day light
And landslide of memories

Down at the boardwalk, Santa Cruz
We’d spent the afternoon
Sipping from paper cups
Roaming the streets

Take me back to that night
Back to th

Far beyond the Palace doors
Across the provincial patchwork
Unto the shore, past the salty sea
And just a bit further more
Lived a young man named Chay

He lived out his days
Quite akin to thine
Sprinkled with pleasures of the sordid kind
A mortal being with a re

I’ve seen it in my dreams
Lush strings and timpani
A satisfaction steady
It’s something undefined

Tougher than turpentine
Softer than new suede
Beyond imagination
My dream is real

Been on my mind
Penny for your thoughts surrendered
Spent all my time

Purpling dawn
Filtering through
Shredded sheer curtains
Then onto you

The way it cuts through the room
Leaving nowhere
For shadows to remain
We can now share our shame

Tethered and tenderly
Arrested in this dungeon cell

Confusing, ethereal
So imm

I had a dream that I shaved my head
Been so long since the back of my neck
Felt the breeze of my old neighborhood

I climbed up on the roof
Just to see if I could
See if I could, see you from here

I wonder what you’re doing now
Do you sleep easily
Now that you’

Orange to black
Serrated silhouette bidding goodnight
Licking at the cool dreamsicle sky

Want it back
California winter lullaby
Burning through the rolls of 35

No-show day
Trip up to the beach, Wonder Wheel in sight
Feelin’ pretty good to be alive

Hangin

I see you every now and then
It fills this spot in my heart, you fit right in
These happy days, you’ve given me
You’re everything the world wishes to see
Lucky me

Sending all my lovin’ angel
Carry it with you on your walks without me
I’ll be waiting, anticipating yo
