- Anthony
The building was burning, the plaster was crumbling
I lost my sense and I ran back inside
The groan of the floorboards, and heat spreading under them
Billowing smoke, in my throat and my eyes
The kitchen ablaze and the wallpaper curling
The table where you and I figured it out
At two in the morning, alive and uncertain
- Black Balloon
storm coming in, and hail the size of quarters
turn the radio down, yeah they’re always trying to warn you
with the static crying and the water rising on road
but you built this place out of lust and blood, dug the lines to feed it, fed the bones you dug
to the dogs come creeping all mange and mud, their wild eyes shining at you, starved for love
get back little doggies, i am not your man
i was never the savior of anything
just a hungry laborer, reticent, to belong to a world that so soon forgets
- Look Away
and if you go walking, in a world made of stars
the neon reflection, of your face in the dark
and the heat of the city, in the curve of your palm
look away, my darling, look away my loved one
and god bless the terror, that brings you to bed
your lily white knuckles, your bruising, your breath
from the dark where you called out, and the things that you said
- Wild Blue Field
i lay down in the wild blue field of your bed
above us the peeled paint and prayers
i wanted to know what the angels said
they breathed your name i swear
and i know that you’re tired of your life on the edge
the corners and cracks of a cage
but deep in the wild blue field of your bed
