What is the definition of chaos?
I don’t really know, but I think it has
Something to do with not really knowing what is coming next.
Like, could you even guess that I would sing these notes?
I didn’t even know myself, so how could you?
How could you?!
What is the definition of chaos?
I don’t know, I don’t know!!!
…but I think it’s something like that
Yeah…
What is the definition of chaos?
I don’t really know, but I think it has
Something to do with not really knowing what is coming next.

I’m in splinters
Pretending I am Tony Hawk
The whole winter,
Just one ride around the block
I’ve got fingers
Floating off my palm
My tendons linger
Slapping clapping tapping on
I, I’m Fragmentary stages
I, have 6 heights and 7 ages
I, Fake it
I, I’m a mirror til your looking breaks it
So I’m walking
Painting with my toes
They keep on talking
Rocking stocking interlocking
I’m weeping
Cutting onions with one hand
I’m sleeping
Skipping meals then overeating
I, I’m Fragmentary stages
I, I’m 6 heights and 7 ages
I, Fake it
I, I’m a mirror til your looking breaks it
Up late
Poppies blooming in my veins
Heart rate
Slowing down to compensate
Early
Morning when you press into me
Toes are cold and tears are colder
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I, I’m Fragmentary stages
I, I’m 6 heights and 7 ages
I, Fake it
I, I’m a mirror til your looking breaks it
I, I’m Fragmentary stages
I, I’m 6 heights and 7 ages
I, I’m paying all my wages
I, I’m fragmentary stages

The leaves don't just fall
On their own ambition
They don't just give up
and abandon the mission
But they don't pair up
Or make an intelligent collage
Or bear down in the soil
To recreate their mirage
Was the tree
The first thingthe Buddha did seeI
Figure his eyes must'veopened in spring
Was it green growth anda buncha
Blossoms innnn droves
That felt sodarn enlight'ning
And whatafunnythingitisto
Straighten up theeeescene by
Coilinupallthe cables
And boxin everylittlething
Takin it upon us the

all bothersome flies insiiide

Can you feel it
It’s coming in
Can you feel it on the wind
I can feel it
It’s in my bones
And I don’t want to face it alone
I have watched it
For so long
I have seen it growing strong
Thunder roaring
And lightning strikes
Now you know what I feel like
So let’s get lost
In the chaos
Let us find another way
Take my hand
You’ll understand
All will be okay
Just not today
The storm is raging
Let’s head inside
I don’t want to fight the tide
Hold me closer
And don’t let go
You and me are all I know.
So let’s get lost
In the chaos
Let us find another way
Take my hand
You’ll understand
All will be okay
Just not today

I went to a party
Where everybody looked like a bird
I swear to god
That I was an avocet
And my friend a woodpecker
I swear to god
I don’t know what I’m doin’
Don’t know what I’m doin’ at all
Yeah I don’t know what I’m doin’
Don’t know what I’m doin’ at all
But I’m still here
Yeah I’m still here
Things are gettin’ crazy
Call an uber says we’ll be back in 10
I thought my god
This drive is never ending
And a crisis starts a’ brewin’ in my head
I thought my god
I don’t know what I’m doin’
And the rear view is closin’ in oh no no
Yeah I don’t know what I’m doin’
And I surely can’t be all alone
Oh and 35 years now
I’ve been wonderin’
I asked my god
Where in all this chaos
Do I end and do I begin?
I asked my god
But I don’t know what he’s doin’
Don’t know what he’s doin’ at all
Yeah I don’t know what he’s doin’
Don’t know what he’s doin’ at all
He just ain’t here
He just ain’t here
He just ain’t here
He just ain’t here

Sitting, bowing, our hands reaching up, what is everybody talking about?
Silver screen and i’m seeing double meaning, so does everyone else
Ram Dam, thank you man
Now it's time to figure it out
Holding hands, kiss your man in a manger, I’m a manic missionary; fantyserious
Spend a night in Bratislava, milking mothers, beat your father, a naked cushion in submission; vegicurious
All my pleasures
All my sins
I feel it’s chaos setting in
Making movies, making magic money potions
Combination of another two consenting pro performers
Palpitations, slow vacation, a sensation resignation
Save the melancholic neighbour from the rake of indamnation
Falling down and I’m feigning freaking out, now does anyone else?
Go to work, is this life now?
All my
All my
Waiting for something
All my (pleasures)
All my (sins)
Waiting for something to end
All my (pleasures)
All my (sins)
Waiting for something
All my (pleasures)
All my (sins)
Letting the chaos settle in
Ram Dam, thank you man
Now I’m really living it
I’m settled, thinking, missing it
Forgetting if it’s ever been now
For heaven’s other mistress
Fallen fable, it’s familiar now

I took a class about history
I supposed that knowing would make me free
But everything I learned made me panic more
When you learn more things, it makes you feel that you’re
ⵢ In a careless world when you learn it well
And the more you learn, the sicker you feel
And the words accrued start to sit like lead
and every morning passes and you’re still in bed
I read an article released this year
About conservative and liberal fears
And the data showed that on the left they’re sad
Cause they know more things so they get cut in half
By a careless world in which they know too much
About knowing about knowing too much
And if you want to escape, just meditate
It’s this thing where you only think about your body and how you’re feeling and if you’re still breathing but it’s really not thinking at all.
Keep learning, keep reaching
Keep driving to work and listening
to books on tape, to Purple Rain
to a podcast that transcends you
in which morality is a family tree
and youre informed enough to climb it
so don’t believe yourself, believe the aggregate
more reliable than a wizard

Lady of the Lake
May we approach you?
Humbly we seek
Your loving grace
There’s a demon in our town
Possessing children
Their eyes roll back
They drink the blood sheep
Pray, grace, we need your help
Wrest it back to hell
“In the cauldron boil
Eye of newt toe of frog
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes”
She descended like a dove
Mystic falcon
Draped in dripping
Moss twiggy peat
There beyond the hedge
In the brambles
A hoof, a blunted horn
The boggy beast
Mad dog
Harvest moon
Silhouetted mirth
“Hark chaotic soul
It’s the bride of the lake
Let’s unleash all hell from above
Something wicked we become”

Though I want it peacefully
We worship Dionysus
War too clean, we go for love
Our tent, your jeans,
You keep it all unzipped
Let ‘em in
Half the girl, you could be
Lover of the century but
I’m not the only man who’s playin
I’m not the only one to play oh no
I wanna be consumed
Mated to all of you
Plant your skull and bones
On the ship called “her”
Your freckles, I long to dust
Is it longing or is it lust?
Jealousy could make this hotter
Halved count, I could be
Girlfriend of the next ten weeks but
I’m not the only girl who’s playin
I’m not the only one to play oh no

Some distance
For the moment
Though it’s getting better, I hate it
If you had ever-
What would you do?
Won’t show them what I meant to
Bad weather
Feelings break through
In the hour provided, I fight it
Feeling tired
Knew I had to
I wanted to reach you

Bright as a flower
Flying thoughtlessly through space
Skin to skin and bone to bone
Whispers and wisps
Follow like a heavy fog
The particles kiss and degrade
And when the shouts turn to echos on your screen
Those tendrils hold to gaps that they can glean

“I’m gonna steal this dog,” says a stranger
when she’s meeting my puppy for the first time
And I am struck that some blind tornado
in its infinite nonsense made her all mine
Blinking at me from the downy blankets
with her feathery hair falling in her eyes
She’s got that uncanny smile on her face
She curls herself in a knot and breathes a soft sigh
I remember cradling you in this bed
when you were high off your ass and out of your mind
Enthralled with visions of god and the trees
Had to remind you to breathe, it was a long night
I won’t try and name the divine,
But to point at the family of herbs beside our window
You’ve taken over the tending, the tender stems
You repot and watch the leaves grow
Now I’m two girls—one right-side up
And one upside down inside my body
My longing’s gone on for so long
And now she’s kicking my guts and my ribs
Until you hold me

Who knows
Who knows this man
Who knows this man who you worked with at your job?
Who cares
Who cares about him?
Is he lonely and tired? Is he loud and adored?
He might decide one day
He’s had enough
He’s been wanting to eat
His fish filet for lunch
So he brings it
He microwaves it
You smell it
Everyone smells it
He eats it
You feel like you’re eating it too
Don’t we all wish we could be as self-assured as your coworker Dave?

Forced obsolescence
The veto of the people
The curtain’s always coming down
The vision’s always closing
Past prepubescence
We partridge-holed the pigeons
The world’s always spinning round
And only I can feel it

How long will I write
Before I get it right?
I walk around the room
Wish I could leave it soon
I look outside and decide
I should head out there now
I know the day is long
I know the night is long
And as I step outside
It all blends to twilight and
Cars pass me
Winds pass me
Food’s cooking
Smelling good
Am I
A creature?
An eater?
A breather?
Head back with food in hand
Wish I’d found words instead
I walk in the kitchen
You’re there and you’re singing

Tara - Crawl Space

In the crawlspace of your inside voice I saw
The more i love you the more you love me
Did i figure it out? I think it’s pretty clear now
I just preach the things I need to hear
So tell me one thing that’s truly self destructive
Cause I don’t love you more when you’re so self assured and collected
I think it’s time to reorganize the closets, unorganize the chaos of
Pretending like I don’t know what I want
|

I hung a picture above the thermostat
That I put there as a question
That I put there as a joke
But do I really see it at all?
The world is overwhelm
There are too many things
Everywhere antennae
But when you’re on the wall too long
You disappear into it
Until there is a change
A shuffling around again… you know?
