about
I don't have too many words for this. It's the full recording of my first live performance, in Bob's Underground Café, Grinnell, Iowa, November 3, 2011. I had a blast, and it was all their fault.

Track Name: I Walked (Cover)
Lover, will you look at me now?
I'm already dead to you
But I'm inclined to explain
What I could not before
Whatever you didn't do, what you couldn’t say
I am sorry that the worst has arrived
For I deserve more
For at least I deserve the respect of a kiss goodbye

Tell me, do you think of me now
As I think of you?
For I could not have shaken the touch of your breath on my arm
For it has stayed in me as an epithet
I am sorry the worst has arrived
For I'm on the floor
In the room where we made it our last touch of the night

I walked, because you walked
But I won't probably get very far
Sensation to what you said
But I'm not about to expect something more
I would not have run off
But I couldn't bear that it's me
It's my fault
I should not be so lost
But I've got nothing left to love

Lover, will you look from me now
I'm already dead
But I've come to explain
Why I left such a mess on the floor
For when you went away I went crazy
I was wild with the breast of a dog
I ran through the night
With the knife in my chest
With the lust of your loveless life

I walked, because you walked
But I won't probably get very far
Sensation to what you said
But I'm not about to expect something more
I would not have run off
But I couldn't bear that it's me
It's my fault
I should not be so lost
But I've got nothing left to love

I walked, because you walked
I walked, because you walked
I walked, because you walked
I walked, because you walked
Track Name: Knot Sure
I slipped into a song
And the chords flowed past
Reflecting the light of dawn

I stepped into a song
The strings laid damp
Coiled as beds of grass

I walked into a song
And the melodies
Trickled off the canopy

I looked up and saw
The glowing edge
Of condensation

Some kid asked me “Are you God?”
And I might as well be
Seeing how much I hide

From everyone
I know

I know
That slanted
Stairs
Take me
Nowhere
But I
Cannot
Nurture
This knot

You reach out with your voice
And I just about
Collapse
Track Name: I Believe in Symmetry (Cover)
Some plans were made and rice was thrown
A house was built, a baby born
How time can move both fast and slow amazes me
And so I raise my glass to symmetry
To the second hand and it's accuracy
To the actual size of everything
The desert is the sand

You can't hold it in your hand
It won't bow to your demands
There's no difference you can make
There's no difference you can make
And if it seems like an accident
A collage of senselessness
You weren't looking hard enough
I wasn't looking hard enough

An argument for consciousness
The instinct of the blind insect
Who makes love to the flowerbed
And dies in the first freeze
Oh, I want to learn such simple things
No politics, no history
So what I want and what I need
Can finally be the same

I just got myself to blame
Leave everything up to fate
When there's choices I can make
When there's choices I can make
Now my heart needs a polygraph
Always eager to pack my bags
When I really wanna stay
When I really wanna stay

When I wanna stay
When I wanna stay
When I wanna stay
When I wanna stay

The arc of time, the stench of sex
The innocence you can't protect
Each quarter note, each marble step
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef
Each wanting the next one
Each wanting the next one to arrive
Each wanting the next one
Each wanting the next one to arrive

The argument for consciousness
The instinct of the blind insect
Who never thinks not to accept its fate, that's faith
There's happiness in death
You give to the next one
You give to the next on down the line
You give to the next one
You get to the next on down the line

The levity of longing that
Instills each dream inside my head
By morning, watered down, forget
On silver stars, I wish and wish and wish
Move on to the next one
Move on to the next one down the line
Move on to the next one
Move on to the next one down the line

You get to the next one
You get to the next on down the line
You get to the next one
You get to the next on down the line
Track Name: Sometimes (Mostly)
Sometimes I'm a shit. Like a really big shit.
But other times I'm pretty cool and awesome-sauce.
Sometimes I'm really funny.
But sometimes I'm not funny and I don't make sense.
Mostly I'm really lazy and unmotivated.
But sometimes [I’m] very efficient and goal-oriented.
Sometimes I feel real good, but can over do it (sometimes).
Other times I feel bad for myself.
Overall I think things are pretty okay.
The future is a little scary but it's coming at us either way.
I'm not sure where things are going, but there are some neat options
I feel good about it (mostly).
