This Block (single, 2010)

He could do so much for me - at sea. He could do so much for me.

Memory, dream, fog, reality. Then sleep.

Head is heavy. Keep a bag packed. Head is heavy.

We're teaching ghost to song. Teaching ghost to song.

khancoban (mini album, 2006)

these lines can be traced - when you wake up so lonely i will take up your time we'll attack at each other with fingers, with eyes. my will is so lonesome and your back is mild, these lines can be traced but are hard to define. after a little while you will become only numbly aware that beauty will shake like tasselled hair. and i did not write a single word, the story is mine. we attack at each other with fingers, with eyes. and i fear those big words like his, yours and mine. and i fear all is wasted, all of our time. and i did not write a single word, the story is mine. of words that can be traced but are hard to define.

i wish i was on a plane somewhere - pumps the blood in yr heart where it starts. pumps the blood to your head filled with dread. on and on on and on on and on. on and on on and on on and on on and on. when your wake up mind is still asleep and your made up mind is all you see and you spend your life just so lonely and it's all the time. i wish i was on a plane somewhere. all the secrets to find there.

smoke and the light - i think the chimney's blocked she said, smoke and the light and oh how it billows with fright. you are always here with me, you are always here. and i have not a word she said, i've not a word. i have not a word she said, i've not a word. be not dead, just gone forever. smoke and the window, smoke and the widow. i think the chimney's blocked she said, smoke and the light.

everywhere i see the sea - everywhere i see the sea in me and everywhere i don't i see the sky. and i try to reach up to a land far above the whole world is trying or not to catch your eye. everywhere i see the sea beginning. everywhere i don't i see the land. all land's end is really a beginning from the cold outreaches of your hand.

little lights, little rows - up the ground it crept as a carpet underswept. with a radio. with the voice of god. tirelessly you wept as your mother left her home to put all the little lights in their little rows. still the ladies dance with their man arms. still the ladies dance. this bastard brother of mine. and how he cheated this sick and sorry world with his sick and sorry mind. this bastard brother of mine and how he cheated this sick and sorry world with his sick and his sorry mind.

take me where i might want to go - the view from outside my window constant and bright. the morning cuts through my dreaming and all souls alight. the road at the end of the road could lead to the unknown. take me where i might want to go. the tracks upon this here window they sit so still. this view the city it breathes in, against its own will. and with the morning light the temptation of flight. take me where i might want to go.

limbs may fall (album, 2008)

hours -

limbs may fall - and with a big swig and into the wind limbs they may fall on nothing at all and into the wind and with a big swing limbs they may fall on nothing and with a big swing and over the teeth with rain falling down on your big city and over the teeth and into the wind limbs they may fall on nothing at all.

by the lights - by the lights i will move into the night far too soon. the lights in this room tell me i am asleep tell me lights in this room tell me i am asleep tell me. i'm all lit up and dressed as a light. on a clear, well worn road to an end of strife.

ghosts in this lake - float upstream with ghosts in this lake. with strangers on the shore with bodies in their wake. with bodies now gone, you lying in wait. in cold, dark hope. you lying in wait. a long, long drive from here or there. yr memory blocks the road and dead it don't mean dead. the bodies now gone. they're ghosts in the, ghosts in the heart. of this town's lazy eye. with creaks in their backs and dust in their smiles. a long, long drive from here or there.

comedy night - oh are we healing now. or are we just shedding. and he takes all my fucking jokes for a line in a movie. and all i can do is lie to you.

balloon sunrise - the damage we do to ourselves is great. the healing you feel is one. i want a balloon sunrise. i want to drop in the ocean. want a balloon for high. high and low. i will hold you as a kite. evening rain, morning bright. with coffee you will come apart like everyone.

all of yr black days - all of yr black days are gone. to my very best brother. always listen to what is said.

i can only afford to win - i was thinking of sand. hold yr nose, drink the water. there is bad in this will and this is nothing. i can only afford to win. it might never be this cold again. the devil must've entered all of our heads or why would we be here? there is bad in this will and this is nothing.

adelaide song - it'll make you grow warm at night in yr head there's a lather forming. and where to go if your mind's already with a howling moon and half-drunk you? forget the bus, we will walk. if we're late there will be another time to prove to ourselves that we really know where we are. a howling moon, a half-drunk you.

stolen car - i got lost in our love. i got locked in a hopeless rut. and all i hear are pretty words and beer and all of our words they remained unheard. now i'm leaving town. never coming back. gonna take to the road gonna steal yr car when i do. cause that's who i am. steady black eyes make me smile. your steady brown hair never was this fair. and all those words they just went up in smoke and there you stand and there you choke. i am leaving town never coming back. gonna take to the road gonna steal your car when i do. cause that's who i am.

such a big sky - i do not lock my door no more. there's so much sadness in the sky. songs like hits and memories come they make me want, make me want to. your city sweet undresses me. your city street calls on and on my name. on my name. this land is on fire and such a big, such a big sky. this land is on fire and such a big, such a big sky.

i woke up and i was here - ain't no way i'm gonna leave you wrapped in the arms of that bad dream. alone, good things still can grow. honey let's take the car a driving. we can stop when we get to i don't know. but at least we're on the road. and the sweetest dream is to be found in a pile of fallen ash. lying on the floor. lying on the floor. you're wearing yr dress, you wear my heart out. the stickiest mud still can grow the sweetest flower. our minds with the stars our heads in the gutter. life like it's coming just to take some time to chew. it's better when you do. and the sweetest dream is to be found in a pile of fallen ash. lying on the floor. lying on the floor.
