lyrics

From the back porch on Boise street,
an old view took on a new shape for me
when I cut myself on the water stone
in the space that always welcomes me home.

Carving layers off of the old body,
sending splinters south to rest at my feet,
placing “Pulp” back on it’s proper shelf,
between walls that feel me better than myself.

Some loving words have made it to my hands;
they’re filled with the scent of wood glue and rain.
I’m full of envy for the area rug that sits at the door;
fresh feet that trace it, they just don’t know what I claim to know.

My arms ache from constant unwinding,
rasing back to the intended tuning.
With time and patience, I could have strength to
shape sound for the city like you do.

Some loving words have made it to my hands;
they’re filled with the scent of wood glue and rain.
I’m full of envy for the area rug that sits at the door;
fresh feet that trace it, they just don’t know what I claim to know.

The last words that echoed from the door
urged me to go out and discover.
But what if the dreams that I have been chasing
are on that back porch, patiently waiting.
