Fires

In the midnight hour
when the moon is down
you can find me howlin
til my voice gives out
when the bars are closing
and you rub your eyes
keep your fire burning
you might need the light
keep your fire burning
In the morning silence
watch the sun be born
you can hear my jawbone click
I'll ask you what your asking for
can you tell the future?
can you read my palms?
are you cracking harder,
farther distance you spurred me on
keep your fire burning
keep your fire burning
keep your fire burning
keep your fire burning

Claustrophobic

Claustrophobic
like these hopes of mine
watched the weight of the world rolling
across your spine
I lost focus
fogged up acid brain
watching purple suns
set over desert plains
Birds in motion
they remind me so
of every tourist trap
of all our unpaid tolls
Pray you notice
that this well's run dry
that my arm's asleep
or else I'd dream of flying
I miss it all
I miss our youth
I miss our greasy hair
I miss our simple truths
I miss it all
Got pulled over
in that old Accord
this was before we drank
before our whispered wars
I miss it all
I miss our youth
I miss our greasy hair
I miss our simple truths
I miss it all
I miss it all

The Changes

How do we get to the five?
Why don't I feel as alive as I did when I was making those decisions?
How do we get to the five?
How do we get to the five, dominant
No I don't care to stop and sit down with this
I'll tire out
Like I always do, my body gives up 'fore I get to you
What are the changes?
What are the changes?
Not looking back in anger, if anything, it's admiration
What are the changes?
why are we changing?
How do we get to the five?
Why do we spend all our lives
stuck in traffic like the time's not moving faster than us?
I'm undersized in the post
How do we get to the five
but I'm hopeful, power dribble like I'm sposed to, now
What are the changes?
what are the changes?
What are the changes?

Holy Holy (For Juneau)
02:50
|

Holy holy are the mornings
Rolling stoned to the afternoon
Holy holy are your windshield wipers making sure
you get home soon
Holy holy is the paperwork
turned to ash in my apartment
Holy holy is my two week notice
Holy drives a harder bargain
I drive hard
I drive, I drive, I drive, I drive, I drive
Holy holy is my neighbor's dog
an angel of the highest order
Holy holy is the scarred up desk where kiddos
spin their quarters
Holy holy is my second job I'm paid well for my time
Holy holy is my bank account, my website app, my
mouth full of dimes
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
Holy holy are my drop-gut nerves
swerving round my bones
Holy holy while I get a deep
breath, set down my phone while
I'm alone
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try

Spencer Kilpatrick Big Water, Utah
The Utah-based singer-songwriter has an amazing, even intoxicating handle on pitch-perfect period strut, and a smoky, emotion-damaged croon that accents and accentuates it perfectly. While his voice sounds like a cross-hatching of a bluesy John Mayer and Bill Withers, his solo work, which has dribbled out online in fervent spasms, has called to mind contemporaries like Amos Lee.” - Justin Vellucci ... more
