Thoughts coalesce into something beautiful
I reach out and they disperse
The image fades too quickly
A Polaroid developing in reverse
Reaching for a light thatโs constantly changing position
Waving my arms around like Iโm trying to get somebodyโs attention
Kneeling, head bowed
Waiting for a sign
The idea express never seems to move in a straight line
Struggling to follow the curves,
It jackknifes off the tracks
Heat builds up in the car
Melting all the features from the wax
So much slips away
So much that I wish would stay
Just a little longer
Long enough to get a good look
Well, maybe next time

Divine Line

Jesus Christ is waiting on his ride home
He walks down the stairs to the platform of the Blue Line-Washington
He moves from car to car searching for a righteous man
Whoโs not going too far, just needs a hand
Heโll never understand that
Iโm not the one who is lost
Heโll ante in at no matter the cost
When his king donโt land on the table
Heโll find that his hand wonโt be able to flush away all the days
All the years he could have taken to get to know the man beneath the robe
It just goes to show
His cross it blocks the aisle
With a devilish smile
Heโll turn to you and say,
โBaby, it's ok to not know which way youโre goinโ.
Follow the line that's blowinโ our smoke away.โ
Today, today
Iโm not the one who is lost
Heโll ante in at no matter the cost
When his king donโt land, heโll understand his hand
Doesnโt have a leg to stand on
He shuffles down the street
String on his sandal getting weak
To St. Maryโs as he carries the only things he has that's worth a damn:
Twenty pamphlets and a crown of crusty leaves

It hurts to say my name
I donโt know what to do
Every single path I take
Always goes back to me and you
What do you do when you donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
I swore I thought my fears
Had seen the last of me
Around this time, last year
Guess weโll have to wait and see
How will you be when you donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
Donโt know how to be alone?
If Iโm not having fun anymore
Iโll find something to fill my days
If I end up where I was before
Itโs probably where I ought to stay
Iโm going away cuz I donโt know how to be alone
Donโt know how to be alone
Lock the door and throw away my phone
Donโt know how to be alone

I saw the light escape your eyes
Shook both my hands at the sky
I cursed the rain and went inside
How could they take this away from me?
The game, the glory, the fame
It helps me escape this pain
I've heard them scream enough
Don't cancel this soccer game please
It's been rough
"Why can't he be more like her?
String more than four words together?
I can't believe our only son
Can hardly speak, does he think this family's dumb?"
"Must be from your mother's side"
"No you're wrong it's your father's pride"
And I laid there silently
Dreamed I scored the winning goal
Final score: 4 to 3
That night I dreamt about a war
Bombs bursting right outside the door
I woke at 3:45
Thinking to myself, I am afraid to die
Before the season ends
I would win and make amends
Their disappointment fades
I am good at something, see?
I am not lost to fate
Please let me prove my worth to you
I live your life, I've paid my dues
Just once you'll see how good I am
I can kick a ball just like a man

Robin

Sent away for it from a rifle catalog,
Wood and metal build you up so tall,
Wanna grow up to be nothinโ at all,
But be a straight shootin arrow
"Aim small, miss small"
To kill a robin, oh
To kill a robin, no
Walking through and town to town,
Don't have to stray or stay around,
If you walk into trouble there'll be no frown,
'Cause you've got a friend in a Crosman now
To kill a robin, oh
To kill a robin, no
To kill a robin, oh
To kill...
Soft bead of blood run from his breast
Caught in a crossfire, fell from his nest
As my heart sank below my chest
Lay the air rifle down in a Daisy bed
To kill a robin, oh
To kill a robin, no
To kill a robin, oh
To killโฆ
