1.	Baptizing the Automatic Heart 05:08	lyrics	buy track
I'm told Jesus invented wine And since then it's been a long, slow slide We're always falling in love with each other at separate times Flipped upside-down, super wide and backwards In each other's eyes Judith dropped the eucharist on the floor Father Good bent down to kiss the carpet Later on, she saw him at the store Buying a six-pack and ingredients to make some more Oh, it shuts off And no one knows where it goes And the edge of every black hole Is infinitely cold And so endlessly full When I was thirteen or so I saw the innocent glow expressed by my halo Blur into the ether Underneath the bleachers Pig dust and pie crust Inflatable hammers I threw up on the gravitron Blacked out, no idea who it landed on Five Hail Mary's later I was absolved Clean slate, didn't even have to tell my mom Until now But somehow I suspect that wasn't enough Because you know I'm still that shy kid on the bus Apologizing to inanimate stuff Just because it passes by my window
2.	Done Again 04:48	lyrics	buy track
When cliches and cheap rhymes dream They dream of being used And bottles of water don't want to expire But they do I keep a fake bird in a real cage In the corner of my living room And it stares all night out the window Through closed eyes, repeating My love language relies on no one really listening Like a moth in the dark, I can fly straight/with intention And if I should ever come undone I swear I'll try my best to become Done again Like back in '16 On New Years Eve When I fell asleep on the hardwood floor Of an empty Apt. 7B The landlord was painting after we moved out And when I woke up from the dream Of my head in the guillotine I had such a hard time explaining the scene To the boots of the two humorless police That arrested me Somehow I always find my way back home Even when I'm ghost-lost, double dark On the side of the road If the trick when you're sick is to stick with being alone Then I'm sorry for wasting your time Who am I To think I get multiple tries At appreciating the good things in my life When it's more Than sunshine trapped in my taillights When it's love or at least what "love" ought to feel like Who am I To think I get multiple tries At appreciating the good things in my life When it's more Than sunshine trapped in my taillights When it's love or at least what "love" ought to feel like When it's love
3.	Cloud Shaped Like a Fist 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Watching smoke climb toward the moon Melancholy in full bloom Stuck inside the present tense Where I can choose to be alone Dig a shallow mote around me I can sit in my shadow Watching my breath go out again Dropping plot chart variables Trigger flashpoints, chemicals And all my neighbors out in their lawns Standing in robes I will be far from alone There'll be strangers all around me I can sit in my shadow Watching my breath My closest friend And I feel like something's wrong But I don't know what it is A cloud shaped like a fist Across the sun And I feel like I'm in love But I don't know what it means A cloud shaped like a fist Across the sun And I feel like something's wrong But I don't know what it is A cloud shaped like a fist Across the sun And I feel like I'm in love But I don't know what it means A cloud shaped like a fist Across the sun
4.	Car Broke Down 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Car broke down I guess I gotta live here, now Boy and how I guess I gotta live here, now Home is a breach In the clouds Ever-changing I wasn't ready for you
