lyrics

watching Bob from the balcony back row
bluebonnets on the on ramp on my way home
bedroom across from a cemetery bus stop
gravestones contrast time-lapse traffic pass me by

how many memories am I the only one to carry on

drinking water to put out the fire in my brain
Orion's Arms around my neck 'til all I see are faint
billion year old stars circling endless black

abyss eye contact
love will pull me back
I am painting the dead plants green
can't dip your foot in the same river water twice
brain fog
day long
ephemeral time sucked away

how many memories am I the only one to carry on

so Jenna will you unplug the heater
Portland spring snow
Willamette River
are you sure you should drink on that new medication
fall asleep with our jackets on
