i ask for movement
for opportunity
just sit and wait for
what i think i need
i ask for common vision
to end the at sea
i'll make a deal with patience
i might find what i need
i heard the faintest laughter
in these small seashell walls
i empty soiled pockets
when the low groaning calls
fish can feel a presence
but they can't sense the man
rusted hooks lay barren
on broken seashell sand
i have wanted you to find me
away i hide this, away i hide this
i have waited for you to find me
away i hide this, why'd i hide this?
heaps of scaley crinkled messes
slimey fingers, dirty fingers
heaps of scaley wonder-fishes
one part movement, grey sunshine
fish are just a simple member
even of color, grey sunshine
bobs can dip and points can sink in
even more with grey sunshine

hey, you make the rain fall
hey, you make the pain fall
sev 2 1 9 3 2
1 8 2 k oh 2
our thanks enscribed
a witty hallmark
what's your zip code,
where's elysia?

i chase the sea
water bars me
to the gates of hell
belief contrives me
i swim away
arrange the pay
i can tell you all the sum
with the daughters on the run
a dive a day
to pass what's loved
i can tell you all the sum
with the daughters on the run
fallen trees place the hexes
someone stop this, where's the exits?
uprooted, pest infested
now the fire's just four feet away
i don't know where your mind goes
moisture heals you, it's the one that heals you darling
i do care where your mind goes
cup is waiting, it's the one that's waiting for you
red flag over greyed water
ash pollutes our crystal waves

a moment from the end of time
front cover to the end in the blink of an eye
crysalis crushed under sky
happier, i could not even try
breathe in red
diving, smiling
bleeding head
everything is fine
someday you'll remember
when oxygen is worthless
mid-flight into ever
we never stopped time to rewind
it's cold mid-december
yet i cannot see my breath
skies burn orange forever
and we've run out of time, oh my

becoming weighted
ten minutes at a time
emerald grass dying
i'm locked in sunshine
there dying leaves were
the most majestic, and
once they've had their say
they'll die together
an hour of warm smoke
and then we'll spray the ash
an old garden hose
makes embers breathless
no one remembers
the fugitives they were
while she was weakest,
they left their mother
in that other realm
flew like the sparrows they'd
transpired to be
lost in the treetops
singing in the face
of the weight that the
earth tries to assign us
lost in the treetops
but i'll run a wet comb
through my hair
and try to forget i
was ever there

The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness.
