URSA MINOR
where is your suit of armor
where is your coat of lead
where is the one that you fell for
he jumped the walls and fled
I'm not the one that you're after
but I'm the one you need
forget all that came before
we are all casualties
the city's got me on the run
and this apartment doesn't have a door
there's no escaping the constant drum
I'm lying drunk on my bedroom floor
there's no escaping the ocean
New York City is consumed by wildfire
catch one last glimpse of devotion
you can take another hit but you'll never get higher
URSA MAJOR
wish that somebody could save me from you
I don't mind the time I spend alone

we walked outside to see the stars
look at the world and it's all ours
but you asked what I wanted to do
I want to dive into Neary Lagoon
I want to fly up into space
I think I've finally found my place
I think I've finally had enough
I think I've finally had enough
and I have dreams
that I don't deserve to dream
and I have you
but I don't deserve you
because don't you see
the blisters on the my hands and feet
from crawling around
just looking for ground
just one last time I want to know
that feeling before I let go
before I cast myself away
in search of longer holidays
in search of summers without end
I'm not content to just pretend
but when you read your lines so well
sometimes it's hard for me to tell
and I have dreams
that I don't deserve to dream
and I have you
but I don't deserve you
because don't you see
the blisters on my hands and feet
from crawling around
just looking for ground
we walked outside to see the stars
look at the world and it's all ours
but you asked what I wanted to do
I want to dive into Neary Lagoon
I want to fly up into space
I think I've finally found my place
I think I've finally had enough
I think I've finally had enough

if I called you on the phone
would you sneak out of your home
would you come and walk around
you're all I like about this dumb town
if I called you on the phone
would you sneak out of your home
would you come and walk around
you're all I like about this dumb town
we can run wild through the school
hop the fence into the pool
we can drink out in the park
and when the cops roll by we can hide in the dark

FAUST (DEDICATION)

You come back, wavering shapes, out of the past
In which you first appeared to clouded eyes.
Should I attempt this time to hold you fast?
Does this old dream still thrill a heart so wise?
You crowd? You press? Have, then, your way at last.
As from the mist around me you arise;
My breast is stirred and feels with youthful pain
The magic breath that hovers round your train.
With you return pictures of joyous days,
Shadows that I loved again draw near;
Like a primeval tale, half lost in haze,
First love and friendship also reappear;
Grief is renewed, laments retrace the maze
Of Life's strange labyrinthian career,
Recalling dear ones who, by fortune's treason
Robbed of fair hours, passed before my season.
They will not hear me as I sing these songs,
The parted souls to whom I sang the first;
Gone is that first response, in vain one longs
For friendly crowds that have long been dispersed.
My grief resounds to strangers, unknown throngs
Applaud it, and my anxious heart would burst.
Whoever used to praise my poem's worth,
If they still live, stray scattered through the earth.
And I am seized by long forgotten yearning
For that kingdom of spirits, still and grave;
To flowing song I see my feelings turning,
As from aeolian harps, wave upon wave;
A shudder grips me, tear on tear falls burning,
Soft grows my heart, once so severe and brave;
What I possess, seems far away to me,
And what is gone becomes reality.

if I make it through the night
before my conscience burns me alive
I will empty out my drawers
I will lock up all my doors
and I will draw upon the floor
I'm hanging upside down
beneath the bridge
with a mark between my eyes
and the doctor says don't hold your breath
the cards they never lie
but I've seen this all before
I will be washed up on the shore
and by the waves I'll be reborn
when the moon is feeling shy
constellations fill my eyes
I will draw a map to Mars
rescue you from behind bars
dear I fear I've gone too far
I'm hanging upside down
beneath the bridge
with a mark between my eyes
and the doctor says don't hold your breath
the cards they never lie
but I've seen this all before
I will be washed up on the shore
and by the waves I'll be reborn
