I May Be Numb 4:24

A touch of the tragicMay be conducive to magicBut it’s a rock in the shoeOf ordinary life Never wanted it to happenOur branch bent before snappingSaw reality as an anomalyAs our little tree struggled in the strife Upon the polished bar-slabRests an old head who can’t pay his tabWhile his pocket chimes, a music boxThe last gift from his wife Well, l…

Life in the empire /The sentries sing at sunrise/ Their Gods are deader / Than the look in their eyes / And I am tethered / To the awaited surprise / The turn in the narrative / The truth in the lies / Where all will make sense / Be at last contextualized / We’re alone in our own reality / Where no one may hide Life in the empire / Culture is a tra…

Got a word of advice? I’m having the same problem twice Holy places in my mind protect against timeBut they don’t make my answers right Always the same town At dawn, lamp-lit puddles on the groundAn old library on the corner Where the mayor’s daughter Ensures all lost souls are found A fantasy of possibility An antidote to urbanity With enough room…

You lost your mind in the rainYou kicked the taxi You said we’re absolutely over And you’d never forgive me We never carried umbrellas Your angel wings clapped my head I walked alone to Washington Square Where pigeons pecked crumbs of bread We started when folk was hot Everyone with a beard had a dealWe met at Treehouse You did the robot to Electri…

The night is like a curtain Outside my window It is indifferent to me I’ve worked my entire life To be a winner But losing has a thing for me While my pen wonders when I’ll quit her Only if your words stop singing to me Chorus: It’s a losing battle In a proxy war Toy soldiers lined up On the killing floor Someone dies for their reasonAnother adjust…

Usually (live at Bowery Electric) 4:50

1+ y ago4:50

4:50

Originally written in 2017, 'Usually' was inspired by a line in one of my unpublished novels. "I usually run," the character said, and this song seemed to blossom all-at-once from a simple consideration of what that line meant to that character. Ultimately the people we love are the people for which we eschew 'usually.'…

World War Pain My body at the break of dawn Always obeys the first alarm I do what I’m told these days Sometimes I feel I’ll give out The mask gets heavy and I could pass out Finally found a gig that pays Nobody’s involved or wants the job We can’t elect a new god While still hauling biblical names World War pain They teach us to be sane When I tra…

5:19

It always starts with love Before the reality of hate Neon halo over your head Under the fire escape The night’s grown late And our ambition turned to mud The purity of your intention Ending with a sniffed-up drug And your mentor’s a slug Slurping the university She said you getting high’s empowering It sounded like an alibi to me No one is ever fr…

Another savage night Camouflaged in neon You could use a friend To lean on The stranger inside Is a white-veiled brideSinking in the altar she’s standing onAnd the upside of numbness Is that your conscience Has become Teflon Van Ronk doesn’t live here anymore And the avant garde in the record store Philosophize about being reborn In a time more pur…
