lyrics

low tide nose dive oh i know my
limits, i let no time go by

eyelet hook, pilot look-no sky
nose dive i let low tide slow-dry

fall runs a silvery thread to tug and pull
willow leaves and pine needles down by the bucketful

your
posed lips--rose hips
low hiss


fall runs a silvery thread
fall runs a slivery thread

there's a small chance that
we'll succeed where others have
failed
there's a small chance that
we'll succeed

this city's both expanding and contracting
this dichotomy's demanding alacrity
to move through the day like
product through a factory

and fortune favors the proactive
you get more calls when you attack the basket
and no matter when or where, somebody will say
"this is not how it was back then"

there's a small chance that
we'll succeed where others have
failed
there's a small chance that
we'll succeed

so little of this piddle's original
when you facsimile in digital,
you betray your sources
i think of myself as a song ninja, though
lurking, then slicing the dark with stark syllables
face covered like an everyman
pruning as in drying
pruning as in trying
to trim myself down to the essentials
i need for surviving
tuning my tremored tenor to the pitch of the room i'm in

there's a small chance that
we'll succeed where others have
failed
there's a small chance that
we'll succeed
