on saddle mountain
on saddle mountain
well no good woman ever wants to be mine
they should be easier to find
well no good woman ever wants to be mine
they should be easier to find
you' feel me staring as you're walking away
and i remember that day
then all i thought of was the sound of your name
and i was never same
didn't bring a backpack
i wanted to head back
you see me running out the door in the night
well i was never that type
you see me running out the door in the night
well i was never that type
we should be waiting for the sun to arrive
i wish i wasn't alive
the way i feel when i look in your eyes
you are the oregon sunrise
you could not stop taunting me
so fucking hard that i couldn't breathe
on saddle mountain
i made a fool of myself
i got too drunk and
i was irresponsible

dangerous sleeping habits (you sleep too much)
girl you got to get to class
conversations with your sleeping self
the pillow talk feels good but it don't last (yeah)
i've been here before in a different history
though i try to live in the moment
i take on the traits of a strange reality
though i can't remember you, you're a shadow
in the afternoon with your children
girl you're fading out of view
i remember you from a different dream
i thought that i was smart but i'm a fool
i've been here before in a different history
though i try to live in the moment
i take on the traits of a strange reality
but i can't remember you, you're a shadow
i've learned from mistakes that you made long before me
though i try to live in the moment
i crabwalked away from my shallow destiny
now i'm reinventing wheels in the shadows

Hey Listen

hey listen
pay attention to me
i've got something to say
barrel cactus growing my ear drum
because I’m suffering from
a neuropsychic delay
hey, listen
to the number signal
mystic soliloquy
ledges crumbling
the statues dissolve
the sanctuary absolved
verbatim from prophecy
unfiltered absolution travels through blind revelation
their words are terrible they haunt me in my sleep
hey listen
i am fluent in the
language of the world
number signal from the echoing space
of transcendental displacement
absolution decode
hey listen
override perception
take my senses away
there is oneness in the sound with no sound
distorting all the amounts
the object infinity
unfiltered absolution travels through blind revelation
their words are terrible they haunt me in my sleep

grab ahold of my love handles and ride with me
we're the only authentic romance in multnomah county
i've been suffering interest on my credit cards
i've been stuck making left turns off of cesar chavez blvd
on saddle mountain, hamilton mountain
on beacon rock, on siouxion falls
i was boxed in the corner sleeping next to you
you were living on powell close to 82nd avenue
i was driving with california licence plates
just wanted to fit in but contrarians don't assimilate
oregon
in your slow motion city
oregon
i can feel you watching me
oregon
i'm the lightningbolt you need
oregon
here is your love letter

Bicyclist's Lament

i, frozen in time, not unchained, but not unmoving
threw my arms out at the air
blue, blemishless love by the road over mt tabor
i've been always alone
for all of my years
not one of you rangers or doctors
has my heart in mind
why do i hear strange helicopters
while my spokes unbind
what is it you think you could do for me this
old broken boy who don't need air to breath
you made it worse
when i only needed a helper
lacerated and paralyzed
soft sexless and cold
by myself out on the asphalt
there was blood on my hands
and cracks in my bones
not one of you rangers or doctors
has my heart in mind
broken bone
i thought i'd make it on my own
what is it you think you could do for me this
old broken boy who don't need air to breath

So What!!

baby i'm wasting the summertime
well i shouldn't miss you like this
i'm not alone enough
to feel this kind melancholy
i fucked up but i'm not sorry
even when you're gone and i'm still
unapologetically armon
natural is boring and predictable
i've cut myself a loss this time
to sit back and to scrutinize the
trajectory of my whole life
where I’m waiting for love to arrive
as i option social suicide
i tell myself that i'm alright
sleep a lot
i'd rather be asleep than not
i'm about to lock myself inside
i'll go to sleep before i decide
what i'm gonna do if my
sleepy sadness still intensifies
hear the sound of my collapsing pride
my happiness disqualified
S
O
so
what
does
it
take
to
be
special

normally i'm already one foot out the door
there's gotta be some greener pastures to explore
lets drive across the country in a camper van
don't worry we don't need a map or travel plan
don't be dumb its a bad idea
you'll be good even if i don't see ya
anywhere you go i'll go too
i am not dumb enough for you
drop out of school and quit your job right now
we'll get out of this city doesn't matter how
you're worried, don't be worried
you know I'm your guy
we'll run away together, kiss portland goodbye
don't be dumb its a bad idea
you'll be good even if i don't see ya
anywhere you go i'll go too
i am not good enough for you

Spin It

i'm up here
and you're still all the way over there
on the east side
by the i5
now i start over
but i found some new friends
who put up with my helplessness
we're already done
we finished faster than anyone
i'm down here
away from the eagle creek fire
by the bayside
and its midnight
its been a year already
and one eclipse too many
i couldn't spin it
i couldn't spin it
i'm already done
i finished faster than anyone

Backpack & Bicycle

carried my heavy load
down a winding road
rounded the cul-de-sac
i wasn't coming back
slowed to a sudden stop
parked in the parking lot
backpack and bicycle
i felt invincible
lassoed a thunderbolt
copy of what i wrote
strangled an ugly thought
tangled into a knot
followed the caravan
i was a tired man
mountain where trails wind
lost in the wintertime
