mt.light - my big brother died 5 years ago today (free) 02:45
lyrics
download
my big brother died 5 years ago today/i feel much older i still feel the same/ catching up to him while he stays in his place/like whats with this pace? what is this race?//he finished a life in half the time i guess i’ll take/lost time made up--down time rearranged/5 years has gone it’s like look at the good medicine the wound time healed cleaned up disinfected cleaned sealed shut//it gets easier//my big brother died 5 years ago today/i feel much older i still feel the same/it doesnt get easier--it’s just emptier/more things i cant share/one less person who cares//my big brother died 5 years ago today/i’m supposed to be older but my songs havent changed/more songs i cant ask about how you feel here/more song i cant ever sing with you here/more songs i’ll sing that i’d rather i didnt/more songs i wish had never existed [more songs i wish i never had written]//my singing is broken down, my rut isnt enough/& i hope somewhere we’ll sing together tho those tunes will be rough/til then ‘why god?’ seems like my only prayer like if i was supposed to learn something haha ok I get it, be fair/it’s the worst: God dont make mistakes but it seems like this one—what was i supposed to learn? that yr body breaks? i wish i’d said i wish i’d said a thousand less times cos i’ve had more wishes now than i’d ever need ever again/asking what if questions doesnt help bring you back/rethinking if i should sing this song doesnt help make me not sad/like what would you say like i’m supposed to just guess/like the teacher left the room and disassembled the desks//but i don’t want a lesson—i just want my friend//

lyrics

you’re the dad another site/a number sign/another site/i’m numb this time/low slash high--me split like left right/completely separate me/completely separate me/piles of mind (overdrive)//portrait of me in poison ivy/justify these choices blindly/tell me silence aids the smiling but the hectic course of life is: so loud in there//properly handled difficult situation! yer the adult/you’re the dad (mom)//

mt.light - yr church shirt's untucked (free) 02:35
lyrics
download
yr church shirt’s untucked i’m sick of writing songs that explain me/lyrics inside of my head that contains me/wishing the plugs would unpull and then drain me—OUT! AMEN!//there’s scum on my churchshoes—i’m stepping thru you/excuse me sir oops thats my dirt on the pew/my shirt is untucked and my fingers wont glue/Hallelujah! hallelu//angels sing this baby from under the ground//i’m barely attentive to the words i just said/my second prayers twice removed or dead/my songs caving in, carved in red pencil lead//angels sing this baby from under the ground//the quick fix it works if it aint broke to begin with/when nothing distracts you, ogre emotion attacks you/then something unpacks you, spilled out back pack purse has you/chap stick, checkbook, tissue, throat drops, germ kill, missal//angels we have heard below, swing this chariot till it hits those bass notes/Hallelujah--ha//i’m sick of writing these songs as a refrain/lyrics inside of my head that it contains//Hallelujah!//

mt.light - 3 words back (free) 03:16
lyrics

3 words back (with thea, aidan, & sieun on bass, gtr & viola) not the sunrise i expected--all the clouds are coming back/theres a couple jets mixed up with crows and bats that fly their paths/& these planes are leaving white scars where the sun makes an orange scratch/while my eyes dive upwards i’m afraid to make a splash/lines separate and tighten--scrawled triangles overhead/wish i could say it distracts me but my thoughts are with you yet/& it seems like a new morning is about to start a day but it seems like this new morning starts up in the same old way/if i told you you’re my sunshine--would you sunburn me to death? if i reminded you i loved you--should i wait for 3 words back?//not the sunrise i expected--all the clouds are turning black/theres an empty sky an endless where i cant calculate the math/told you once about the future--foreshadowed snakebites harsh/dropped you off into the present but you were missing at the start/crystal balls will just crack further--youll fall in trip and cut yr toes/tarot cards are scattered where orion pulls his bow/my gears are gummed up slowed down—i’m running a 10min mile pace but i’d trot 600 of em if youd meet me on the straightaway//
