Cold Coffee

A man with my name
And twice my age
Sits across from me
Sure there's some love
But I won't look up
And who knows what he's seeing
What do you say
To something that decays
Do you believe it's still forever
What do you do
When you'll never have the proof
Do you still want to sit in silence
Or let your coffee get cold
He shakes his head
And I turn mine
To the shadow of a parking meter
I think ahead
To the time
When none of this will matter
What about the glow
When you close your eyes
Does it still last forever
What do you do
When you don't have proof
Do you still want to sit in silence
Or let your coffee get cold

Going Back

What's coming soon
And what's here now
Can't be too different
I mean if tomorrow
Depends on today
Is it already over?
I mean look at those oil dark oceans
And the wine in our veins
Even all the deserts
Didn't used to be deserts
And hear all the shots
In the bars that we hoped
Might be safe this time
But here on the news
In the president camps
There's profit in pain
But you can only drain
So much of your own blood
So I know this place will destroy itself
But not before it destroys us
So hold on
To the ground
That it might outlive me
And outlive all of us
And this toxic masculinity
That condemns consent
For threatening their sense of domination
And calls to the judge
That the trauma he caused doesn't matter
I'm still buried in the rag in my face
And the tears make so much white noise
Nothing has changed, voices are drowned
When money moves the airwaves
And they burn down their house
And sell the remains
Claim they can buy a better one
Pretend they don't live there
And their fates independent from ours
As if what you can't see through the smoke
Doesn't even exist
As if they're not just trading eachother
Their knives for their wrists
But you can only sell so much of your own soul
Before it ain't really yours anymore
And there's no goin back

Moving Song

Body moved where I wanted it to move
Like I could make the rules
Border moved when I wanted it to move
Like it meant anything
Spirit moved how I wanted it to move
Let it go when I was done
You can't tell me from the ground
We are one inside the other
I am born beneath a sky
I am born between the eyes
& buried in myself
Shovel dug where I wanted it to dig
Like I was in control
Air was dark 'cause I wanted it to be
Like the day was over
Opened up didn't want to be closed
Let it go and I was gone
You can't tear me from the ground
We are one there is no border
I am born beneath the sky
I am born and I am fine
& buried in myself

Did it Matter
03:40

Every wish that I had
When I was a kid
I wrote in a little book I kept by my bed
And every book that I burned
Had a whole lot of history
But it didn't mean shit to me
'cause all the shit that I took
Just to get where I am
And you'ree gonna tell me I could've done better?
Everything that I did
Sure I did it for me
But that doesn't mean I didn't do it for you
Every you that I met
I knew you were so special
Even if it didn't seem that way most of the time
All the time that I had
Of course it wasn't really mine
So what the hell did it matter anyway
Now I hear that you're gone
And it doesn’t make sense
