My friend, you finally found another name
One that connects you to the moon when you can't sleep
You say there's reasons why you act this way
Some are chemical and some are just the truth
I'm obsessing over death again
Like I did when I was seventeen
Underneath an outline of the stars
Way down in the Valle De Ameca
And I wonder if you're happier
In a one by twelve AlNiCo
You're gentle, and you're beautiful
So i don't wanna bother you
No, how you always make me smile
When I think of you out on my roof
Underneath an outline of the stars
Way down in the Valle De Ameca
These days I wonder do you recount
As you sit inside your twelfth house
When I return I hope you're there somehow
Inside those same seven bars
Modern Joan Of Arc
Out starting up your car
Buried under an outline of the stars
Endless static
A suitcase and guitar
Way down in the Valle De Ameca
Your thoughts are like rearview mirrors
Down in the dark
Turn it up till it's crystal clear
Electric guitars
And your eyes like a city deer
With a wild heart, with a wild heart, such a wild heart

Arrow/Plane

It's alway the same, though the seasons they change
The weather is tempered but the rest just remains
It's like trying to start when your wires are cut
No use clinging to things that you've already lost
Down in the canyon children sleep in their cars
Far from amusement parks and a city of stars
And today I complain, threw my passport away
So I will not be with you on the big arrow/plane
As I tangle in dreams
In your passenger seat
As the strip malls and tree lines
Come apart at the seams
Way out in the mesa
There's no fortune or fame
Learned there's more to the picture
Then what fits in the frame
Down in the canyon passed the harsh neon signs
We're restless, indifferent, we are colorblind
Though our plans rearrange, I still wish you had stayed
Cause’ I will not be with you on the big arrow/plane
Down in the canyon, with the wind, free and wild.
We're restless, indifferent, we are colorblind
And today I complain, threw my passport away
So I will not be with you on the big arrow/plane

Sky Above Jalisco

Lovers can be monsters, I know
Shapeshifting like the sky above Jalisco
Tied together like a space echo, it goes
Kicking through the dirt in your yellow rain boots
Eyes the color of the earth
Two crescent moons
In the broken fence of my past tense
You fill my chest like cigarettes
Time is gonna fade you, that's truth
Blown out like a pair of her point shoes
Careless and impromptu
You still kiss my mouth
When you want to, don't you?
Met you outside the seven stars
Mapping it out, makes you glow in the dark
As I decorate in a canyon state
I contemplate moving out
I found out no matter where I go
I spend all my time trying to make it home
The spiral flows, Ojo De Dios
I spend all my time trying to make it home
All my time trying to make it home, all my time

Lovers Can Be Monsters

When we crashed your car
Though we both know that it never starts
The dream it died inside our junkyard hearts
When we sold it for parts
Like when i'd pick you up
And I would study you beneath the stars
The way you always rolled the windows down
No matter how cold it was
When we packed it up
Moved to the 10th ward in our practice loft
We’d been waiting for the past two years
Just to settle it down
And now I bury you in sound
Up the hill from here
Cause lovers can be monsters
We’re no exception dear
Why don't you look in the mirror?

Halloween

You found a new friend
When were you planning on telling me?
No that's not fair, now i'm an asshole for asking i'm sorry
And I started drinking like you do when you are 19
When you first move to the city
With a fake ID
Crushing bags of things
Like it's halloween
Another native kid
Akin to scattered leaves
in a place where the wild and more mild-mannered agree
And now I spend all my nights
In the bars with the neon hews
And every face here reminds me of you
I keep falling so far out of tune
I've been out dancing with kick drums and hotel rooms
And I always want just a little more
As if I don't recall what I've seen before
For an all night drive to some distant shore
To a place where the weather will wash me and make me feel pure
How many times can the human heart break?
Before it feels forced, before it feels fake
How many times can you get what we want?
Just throw it away

Three Wolf Moon

Three wolves howl at the yellow moon
On an old t-shirt that she left in your room
You look different over dial tones
When I'm falling asleep in our dressing room
Downtown there staying occupied
With the painted signs outside the BNY
Is this what you call paradise?
'Cause the dream looks different in real life
Try to connect all the stars tonight
With your cracked-jaw dreams
Keep you grinding those teeth
Headphone wires on a red-eye flight
Turn it up real high, just turn it off
You start flipping through those in-flight stations
Hoping to find one thing that you like
Is this the moment we've all been awaiting?
'Cause the dream looks different in real life
All this advanced entertainment
Spent a lifetime picking items down from the shelves
Like Eve from that apple tree
Can't tell the difference between what I want and what I need
And by the time my desire gets fed
I always end up wanting something else instead
Is this what I've been searching for?
'Cause the dream appears to be dead
Or at least the dream looks different in my head
