Dreamer

I fall asleep
I live inside my dreams
I don’t know what they mean
I tell you everything
I forget how to fly
When you talk I close my eyes
Imagine all the ways I lie
Just to keep this alive
And I wanted to be, like
How I thought it was gonna be
Like, how I thought it was supposed to be
Could you see it how I see?
I used to think you’d change for me
Now I know better than to
Wait for you
I’ll be strong tomorrow
Tonight I’ll just sing my song
There is not more to talk about I said it all along
And I wanted to feel, like
How I thought it was gonna feel
Like, how I thought this time was real

We Know The Sky
02:38
|
|||
|
You’ve been going at it all wrong
Words missing from the songs
And she’s my mom
Take your hand off
Hold a mirror up
To the bathtub
Where I’m crying
For no reason
And you’re screaming
For no reason
You and I know the sky
We wanna fly
But just this once
I’m holding on
Are you holding on?

Horses
04:30
|
|||
|
I arise, fire already in my eyes
Butterflies, stay with me for a while
Not surprised, I’m a horse you never meant to ride
Otherwise, I’m fine
But I wouldn’t know
How slow, how slow
The days could go
Could go, could go
No I wouldn’t know
How slow, how slow
The days could go
Could go, could go
All this time, you were a horse I wasn’t meant to ride
Close my eyes, I’ll see you on the other side
But I wouldn’t know
How slow, how slow
The days could go
Could go, could go
No I wouldn’t know
How slow, how slow
The days could go
Could go, could go

Bad Habit
03:57
|
|||
|
I guess I couldn’t love you unconditionally
Like you thought you loved me
And I know it was real as the hands you used to
Shove me into the night
But I didn’t fall down
I will be alright
It happened twice
Like when your eyes turned from blue and yellow
To black in mine
And I never meant to love you back
It is just a bad habit that I have
And you took advantage of it
Just to wear me around your neck
Lay me down in a bed of yours
Where you’ve laid with many before
I won’t cry if you won’t cry
I’ll survive even if you want me to die
You sing, “It’s strange”
But you can’t change for me
In my mind, I fly
But I stayed for quite a while
In the furthest recess
Of your guilt and secrets
I’m realizing how regret
Is a holy weakness
And our love began as a bet
Between your friends
And it ended
As a breath between my lips

Stained
03:12
|
|||
|
That night is stained into my mind
I knew better than to waste all this time, right?
And I surrender please take this life
I’m starting over please keep us in the light
And your name is stained into my brain
I knew better than to harbor all this shame, right?
And I surrender please take this pain
I’m starting over please keep us safe
And your face is
Stained into
My
Pillow
So you’ve gotta go
And I knew better than to bury all this pain
I surrender please take what remains
I surrender please take what remains
I surrender please take what remains

Blue Moon Blood
02:54
|

|
Full moon blue
Blue moon love
Salt bath but, ugh
Full moon love
I am full of
Blue moon, blue moon blood
Inside world
Little girl
Full moon girl
Big blue box
Full of rocks
Memories, I lost
Heart of blue
Under the moon
Wandering through, the blue
Inside world
Little girl
Full moon girl

Ghost With New Skin
02:54
|
|||
|
I am a ghost with new skin
I am a close but not kin
I was once something you coveted
It was a love before we were loving it
I brought you close but not in
Still scared of the beginning
Of being alone and of the fortune you told
I am a hole to crawl in
A toast without the buttering
You are a brain without the suffering
An embrace for me to fall in
You are my ghost with new skin
Now every hill becomes a mountain
I wanna run because I’m shivering
I wanna fit without the blistering

Swan Song
02:23
|
|||
|
I can't relate
I don't know why
Can't celebrate my body
It's too abstract for me
So I just lay
There bare and soft
Let them get off
This is my swan song
A lifetime of not doing anything wrong
Not the right way either
Just not my way
I'm your roommate
And I don't know why I'm this way
I'm prying open the jar
Spilling the water on your car
This is my swan song
A lifetime of doing everything wrong
And not my way either
I'll lay down now

Black Bear
02:25
|
|||
|
Do you wanna keep me as your pet
Free my mind of opinions?
Leave a leash by the door
And keep a bowl on the floor
I could be so sweet
I can’t bite if I’m asleep
We could just kiss and reminisce
Before the darkness settles in
Then throw me out like a piece of trash
You forgot to part with
Oh what’s more disturbing than this?
To be knowingly ominous
To be a nightmare promised
To be a black bear
And violent
I come to get my stuff
All your lovers give me a hug
They wanna comb my hair
And help me pack up my underwear
I don’t say, “Leave me alone”
I don’t ask them to take me home
I pick up what you thrown
And start to write this poem
Oh what’s more disturbing than this?
To be knowingly ominous
To be a nightmare promised
To be a black bear
And violent

Love Me Too
03:17
|
|||
|
I’m going away
For longer than a day
I wanted to know
Did you know, how it would go?
The cold wind is a sharpened feather
And I’m farther now
Than I was
Four months ago
But I do know
That love is a shadow
It’ll follow us everywhere we go
The grass is dry and yellow
Beneath the snow
I’ll dig a hole for us to home
But we’re so warm
It’s a miracle
And loving you
Teaches me to
Love me too

House of Confusion
by Trace Mountains
supported by 6 fans who also own “We Know The Sky”
I saw Trace Mountains open for Wild Pink at DC9 in Washington, D.C. I like Wild Pink a lot but Trace Mountains was an eye-opener that night, and I only later realized I had previously seen Dave Benton perform with LVL Up at the 9:30 Club. This album is just eminently listenable: great instrumentation, easy lyrics, a lot of spirit.
