All for the Sake

All for the sake of the song I form my life around lyrics
and let you guide me through my own house; I don't care who hears this
Danced me in unfinished rooms, with music threaded through
and then you did that thing that you weren't supposed to
And I can't decide how I feel about your lips
Honesty is overrated; everything is just how we say it
I said: "We're not living, just surviving and staying, and trying to find out to whom we've been praying"
You say: "I don't know about legacies, but, my god, I hope you remember me"
So intent, too intent, I don't know if I can handle this
When we separate by time's force please simply forget

If you sit right there, I'll draw you but I may mess up your hair
'cause I'm no good at art; just want to set you apart, feel a spark and start...
something - I don't care about anniversaries or rings
I just want you to be alone with me, happy
If I sit right here, will you watch me? Will you draw near?
This could be a start; ignore your head listen hard to the thump, thump of your heart
And if it should say "no", well I won't tell a soul
But if it should say "yes", I promise mine will say that too and I'll take off my dress for you
We both sat right there; you didn't move, I didn't look at you, I found a spot on the wall and I stared
I had no notebook or pen, you cleared your throat and I counted to ten
I thought that's when it'd start: We'd be together but apart, we'd feel a spark and everything else would go dark

Walk in and sit right down, Super Darling will be right around and you can get your fix
Take your coat off and don't be shy - no one here has got a thing to hide - plus, it's nearly six
The regulars will be here soon, those on the stools you've gotta make room; Bobby and Wes have their pick
Around Black Noon in walk the teens with their glassy eyes and their rolled up jeans, trying hard not to be sick
Dim lights guide you through
Don't be afraid of what you might do
You want to be free, and we want you
So come waste away until two
Saturdays the place is packed, sing your heart out up in the back, let Don buy another round
Super Darling will get up there, too, Paul and Jimmy know just want to do, fill up the street with their sounds
Count on personal histories while you shift your mind to the collective "We" and Anita makes you feel found
The very next day come in at eight, soak up the night with a piled-high plate; give in to our small town
The curtain calls at two

House of Wood
04:17

Listening to train tracks, missing fingers trailed down the back
Picturing your life enclosed in rust luggage racks
Wondering where you are right now; a different plane, a pedicab?
In your house of wood or up above the North?
Not one to be forgotten after eight hours in nowhere
So settled in my routine I envy the air;
Swirling and circulating and sifting through your hair
A sandpaper rooftop is my stage tonight
And I swear that I could make you appear, if I tried
You're ending the night while I am just starting mine;
Here is your morning lullaby

Spot

On the island's where you'll find it; woah, take a look at what time did
Bundled in bows, dried petals from that rose; I guess that's just how our lives go
Cyclical, like my bicycle, and cold like winter's icicles
In Cali they're not found, which is what's got me down; maybe a different time in a different town
Let's just walk
Let's not even open our mouth to talk
Let's just walk
I don't want to lose my spot in your heart
On bedsheets is where our bodies speak and you can't tell if my knees are weak
Always on your terms, if there's anything that I've learned, it's that I always leave before your turn
Slowly building outside raunchy buildings and I can't tell what are real things
In Cali they're not found, which is what's got me down; maybe a different time in a different town
