Jamming The Satellites
An Explosion, in slow motion
To ourselves we’re devout
Vaccinated, against the sacred
And left no doubt
We dug a tunnel, so we could smuggle
Ourselves out
We sent a signal, underneath our pillow
A silent shout
But no one hears our call
No one hears our call when
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(jamming the satellites)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(downing the power lines)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(I know)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(Guess it’s just the way it goes)
I keep it dimed now nearly all the time
This rusted coil I can’t unwind
I keep it dimed now nearly all the time
This rusted coil I can’t unwind
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(jamming the satellites)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(downing the power lines)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(I know)
Were jamming the satellites satellites
(Guess it’s just the way it goes)
I’m not sleeping, or dreaming, I’m awake
I’m not sleeping, or dreaming, I’m awake
I’m not sleeping, or dreaming, I’m awake
I’m not sleeping, or dreaming, I’m awake

Suicide Vest
We spent our summers
By the boiling lake
Eating cold comfort ice cream, baby
Like an apple from a snake
Can I help you?
You don’t mean that
Can I help you?
Can I take that back?
You were upside down you were in control
Of your body, mind, maybe your soul
I’d do anything to set your mind at ease
Slash and burn the forest for the trees
We tapped our bedroom
Turned in for the night
Kept my mind buried
In between her thighs
Avoid temptation
Like a suicide vest
Avoid temptation
We’re doing our best
Maybe I will never know
What you want what you want
You were upside down you were in control
Of your body, mind, maybe your soul
I’d do anything to set your mind at ease
Slash and burn the forest for the trees

A Suitcase Full of Snow
Felt myself fading into your background
I packed my suitcase full of snow
I took a bite of my wine glass
Wished I had a window
Come back and it’s weird
A broken compass spins
You know you can’t stay here
It’s not what you imagined
Found a pile of rusted keys
And each one crumbled in the lock
I said, “I guess it’s none of these”
Tried to unmelt the clock
Come back and it’s weird
A broken compass spins
You know you can’t stay here
It’s not what you imagined

Radishes
Turns out I was your punch line
I did not know
Said you’d teach me how to fight
But I only learned to absorb a blow
And I can’t see it for what it is
You want to play the martyr
But you missed your cue
Still scared of being grounded
Ten years past your curfew
And I can’t see it for what it is
Going nowhere slow

Zero Summer 2 (Back to Camp)
A thousand close calls from now
The line will go dead and
You’ll be absorbed by the stars
The temple is crumbling
The lights are always on
It was in my grasp but now it’ s gone
Bask in zero summer
It’s here I kissed the ground
Started counting backwards from god
You threw your head back
Toward the sky and pine
Amazed by all the things we’d gotten used to
We were walking wounded
I guess it’s ok
No one hears our footsteps anyway
Bask in zero summer
It’s here I kissed your mouth
Started counting to death do us part
This Hopeless
Radiation
This Hopeless
Radiation
Radiation
Radiate

Another Picnic
Another picnic in the minefields here we go
And no one knows why we came here
You were weightless looking for leverage
When you know you needed someone to hold onto
Subject to change we don’t change much but the subject
And I’m sorry I thought it was my turn to talk
I sure hope we all can laugh about this later
Much later, much later
We’ve thought of everything
We’ve got it all
It’s laid at our feet
Happiness is guaranteed
When it’s over it goes on forever and it goes
La di da da, la di da da
We’ve thought of everything
We’ve got it all
It’s laid at our feet
Happiness is guaranteed

Out of the Wild
I was living a half life with my new family
Knowing I was never quite what they wanted me to be
When I started to backslide like they knew I would
Want to run to the clearing where the sunlight beams thru the trees
But I keep on getting further out of the wild

Signal to Noise

Signal to Noise
State your name and occupation
Sign on the line no obligation
All the calls “free war machine”
From cowards behind their glowing screens
I meant no harm or provocation
You can always change the station
But you can’t ever turn it off
No you can’t ever turn it off
There’s more noise then signal
But you can buy my silence
It is all so simple
With this one weird trick
We can all get by on our looks
With our eyes like empty meat hooks
World breaks your heart at odd angles
Kicks the shit out of your better angels
There’s more noise then signal
But you can buy my silence
It is all so simple
With this one weird trick
To make the broth you boil the bones
And scrape the foam off the top
To make the broth you boil the bones
And scrape the foam off the top

The End of the Broadcast Day
I was strung out
On tomorrows
Just so hope sick
In a funnel
I kept myself half poisoned
Hoped for a dreamless sleep
Kept falling off the edges
From the curb into the street
If we poured the ashes
From a box into a stream
And if we circled around there
What’s a current to a stream
There’s a light shining down
There’s a light coming through the trees now
There’s a light shining down
There’s a light
And the reptiles know
One thing well
Where their bread is buttered
There’s a light shining down
There’s a light coming through the trees now
There’s a light shining down
There’s a light
I was strung out
On tomorrows
Just so hope sick
In a funnel

Night Blind
You came to me in a dream
That made the day feel
Like one long hangover
Like I’d said bad things the night before
Things I cannot take back
And not enough time could pass
To heal the wounds
Count the flowers on the crosses along the old highway
Found a bullet on a payphone that just rang out in the night
Who was supposed to answer the call?
Did they make it home alright?
Jagged fragments of memory
Float thru my mind
Like ice on a river
Like ice on a river
Spring is coming but it’s not here yet
Is it possible for me to love in the moment?
Is it hopeless to not see the signs?
When you’re night blind
Count the flowers on the crosses along the old highway
Found a bullet on a payphone that just rang out in the night
Who was supposed to answer the call?
Did they make it home alright?
I feel my way thru the dark
