Shell Boat 02:35
Don't let the sun roll away again Before the day is through 'Cause that rivers coming down the road And it's looking for you Know that nothings going to change the world Like we want it to And I don't know what'll happen But I'm glad that I'm here with you If I fall, will you catch me? If I crawl, will you lash me? If I'm feeling down Will you go down there too? If I call, will you answer? And if I move away to France Or somewhere else Will you go out there with me too? I've been walking down the street alone Just to pass my time 'Cause day by day I'm sitting in my room Pretending that it's mine Streets are heavy but you'd never know Until you pull one up And I've been digging for a vein of gold Just to fill my cup And when I fell, yeah you caught me When I crawled you besought me When I was feeling down You right down there too When I called, you answered And I 'aight moving over to France But if I did You know we'd get a place for two When I hear your voice I smile And if I don't see you for a while You know i feel just like a sail boat stuck at shore And when I crawl into my shell Be sure to get me out 'Cause I can't be in there long When you're out standing by the door

Satan calls me From outside my window pane And he says "hey, come have a look" Starlit meadows Inside of cellophane And I fall in love with you Grapes of wrath are Something I heard of once And I'm peeling back the skin like an orange Blue as a turquoise Ruby in the candle light Now I'm falling in love with you Sequins glimmer like a Pixilated TV screen And the water keeps falling from the sky I've got the sound of Bloody murder screams And I'm fall, spring, summer, for you Yeah I'm falling in love with you

Maybe you are thinking that we’re not doing nothing right Old shoes aren’t fitting and we’re throwing them outta sight But it’s all gonna be okay We’re gonna do it in another way 'Till we feel alright Never know when you’re going to the grave On the moonlight Feeling tonight Moonlight Getting you right Tell me who knows what I oughta do better than myself I been through a lot, I know what’s best for my health But it’s all gonna be okay We’re gonna do it in another way 'Till we feel alright Never know when you’re going to the grave On the moonlight Feeling tonight Moonlight Getting you right

Transfigure 03:31
Bone digger Send me someone else to walk this waking world for me Loan giver Let me pay you back with something other than blood Soul singer Sing my song in such a way that will not make me cry Transfigure Me into something else Bitter as a heart attack I'm writings songs called take me back Time visits again upon me Shows me something hard to see

Summer days stretch on and on Running outside on the lawn Playing guns or freezing tag Choosing candies for the bag Playstation games into the night Staying up until it’s light Chocolate stains and freezie juice Pulling out a wobbly tooth Pulling tarps up over trees Singing songs with dirty knees Climbing up onto the roof Getting sick and eating soup I’ve got all the time in the world Driving over for a dinner Looking for a suit at Winners Making breakfast in a jar The commute each day’s a little far Sunday morning scrambled eggs Watching movies in my bed Mark has got a baby now Hailey's moving out of town Dressing up to reminisce Putting groceries on a list Grieving in a well-lit room See you later, see you soon I’ve got all the time in the world Empty lines in journal pages Worrying about my wages Half finished paintings in the corner Was it the latter or the former Singing in an empty car I think there used to be a scar A sunbeam illuminates the dust Not what I thought but I’ll adjust Looking through old photographs I’ve got some extra money stashed Ironing a shirt again I’ve got the time to make amends I’ve got all the time in the world

Set me free of all the thoughts that bring me down When I’m alone Follow me Out of darkness if I can only find the way Colour me Like an orchid only flowering half the time Nothings free Except the way that you choose to perceive On the breeze Changes come and worry me But I know that they’re what make me feel alive

about

Sometimes you have to look back before going forward - dig deep before growing upward. The humble rutabaga sits patiently in its earthen home - plump and content. This hearty vegetable is often overlooked as it’s not as vibrant as a beet or spicy as a radish. But the rutabaga has subtle sweetness, like a perfect cup of tea brought by someone you love, or the taste of freshly drawn blood from someone you don’t. No one can say for sure what the rutabaga dreams of - is it concordant harmony or vengeful devastation? Perhaps the rutabaga dreams of a soft lovers embrace. I’m sure that we’ve all wondered about these things.

I’ve been dreaming of rutabagas lately. My grandma uses them to make soup, she’s the only person I’ve ever known who buys rutabagas, even though they’re grown locally. I’ve been thinking about my home too - where it used to be and where it will be in the future. I don’t know if this album is about that - it’s just a collection of songs from a recent period of dreaming.
