Dear Claire

Calling you up. You’re still in bed oh please why you can’t you get up? I’m on my own today. You’re drifting away on a sea of pills and booze. I wish that you would change and come alive for me. I need your friendship please. And the bones they rattle inside, inside my head and the words come slowly. Please try to help me friend, oh I need you, Dear Claire how I need you. Give me a light. I wish you would come outside, there’s no one to see the way that you have changed. I wish I could say the things you need to hear. I should just stay and comfort you today. I don’t know what to say.

Buttoned Up

Look at you buttoned up, what have you got to hide? Who’s hiding inside? Is it me, is it you who’s trying to be cool? Oh, why do we try? Baby, don’t hang back. Why are you so afraid? Here we sit on our own. Nobody wants to say what they really think. Is it me, is it you? I wish that you would speak to me, I’d sing. Why don’t we go home? Why are you so afraid? We can waste another hour looking at the waves. I can tell you I was wrong and promise that I will change. Oh yeah promise that I will…

Plane in the Sky
03:50

Lost without a sound and standing on the edge of town, the lights shut off again. Toward the plane in the sky your eyes signaled another long and lost goodbye. Cause there we go again. Allison once spoke and she said we were friends. But the nights were hers and the days were mine so the problems could never work out right. For us, the days were too long with every night another heart to fall upon. Those broken knees skinned to the bone it was just your way to say again we’re all alone. For us... The iron eagles in the ocean like stars were burnt out against the sky. Like lies told straight for a devotion like eyes were cast down and passed by.

Let Me On Board
03:10

A sudden blow and you’re gone. Where to? One last flicker then goodbye. Everything I depended on is gone. Let me on board. Let me be the one you hold at night. It’s not the same. It hurts that way. But that’s OK. I met you in the first flush of youth. I gave you everything I had. Now you’ve left, it’s so sudden I’m bereft.
