Red Wine 04:37
Red wine spilled on dirty clothes for the washer They sit in a pile Haven't been touched in weeks Clear drops Water drips on the dishes That sit in the sink Haven't been touched Haven't been cleaned in weeks I think some cloud Has been following me home Sun don't shine Where flowers do not grow Living like this I get lost inside the drone Red eyes Staring out the window Get lost in your head Eyes on the rain Hoping to find a way

Bookshelf 04:09
I’ve got your flannel on Fits just right You and your friends have been out all night Hanging in, but not hanging swell Casting my coins into your wishing well Hook on the mantel Feeling like a phantom Fire underneath Can’t seem to keep my feet Pictures of animals held too tight Unspoken feelings stay out of sight Minutes to hours days to months Add up to a year See if that will help Book on the shelf When was the last time you were felt You’re dusty as hell and your spine isn’t straight I can’t keep waiting for you to pick me up This is a bookshelf with options to read from When was the last time you dropped me a line

Bottom 04:16
There's a bottom to this bottle but I'm not gonna find it when I empty my hands No, the bottom will find me Then I'll find the bottom but the end of it will surely ruin me There's a bridge in the back of my mind With rushing, dark and freezing water below on either side And when I get so sad I envision myself crashing under And I think about that bridge and I find the bottom You didn’t have the dignity To tell me one reason why this will carry on without me And I know ideas were clashing I picture myself crashing crashing Into the dark and freezing water

Body 03:46
Skin Bones Blood that pumps through the muscles And I wonder if we're nothing more than chemicals Mind Soul Who's to say who's in control And I wonder where all of this goes when we decompose Day after day Who knows when I'll have to pay But let's say if it was today Would that be okay? And you have to choose When it ends did you win or lose? Because you know that it's coming soon when they choose your tomb And I don't want to see my friends die I don't want to deal with the coldness of life I don't think that I've got the mind or the body to carry me through those rough times
