chewing gum
had a sense of impending doom
had a taste of what it means
something between your teeth
soles stuck to the concrete
the clocks
the cliffs
the edge
the rift
they jest
they spin
the cards i play
they flutter like birds in the winds
friends like butter had to stutter like broken records
well i've walked all over town just trying to disappear
chewing gum
had a sense of impending doom
had a taste of what could be
sun stuck to my feet
but i just miss when we didn't need the figures
stacking up decisions like they're pancakes
did you have a bad day again?
mercury in retrograde descends
my baby throwing accolades out back
in dog eats dog meat
had me chewed up
spat out
left to a soggy heart
these walkies
bees cut me too loud too soon to say the least

there’s no denying it
when she said she’s had enough
but she’s stuck in the picture books
(Stuck Inside the Pictures)
looking for the right words to say
“we could pick up the petals
and sew them back on”
she said
“i know you better than anyone does”
but a made up mind is a close enemy
to the hopeless romantic you said you wouldn’t be
but it don’t even make sense
cuz i’ve written it everywhere
yet i still see you in my dreams
is there something out there meant for me?
we can pick up the petals
and sew them back on
i guess i know you better than anyone does
but a made up mind is a close enemy
to the hopeless romantic you said you wouldn’t be
isn’t it nice to come back a place time and time again
you’ve been here before
we can pick up the petals
and sew them back on
you know, there’s no one better who does it like you
but your made mind up mind is a close frenemy
to the hopeless romantic you said you wouldn’t be

Any hint of doubt and I’ll crumble
A little bit of nothing will make me drown
don’t you say a word or say a thing, I’ll shatter
No expectations, is what’s expected of me
Caught up in the lists and the callbacks
it makes sense
when it don’t
when it don’t
table of contents
you’re not listening no-no
(They hit you back hard in the face
it matters until it doesn’t — it doesn’t)
invisible,
the mind on the matter
and my distorted view
i do my best just to keep a face
(And they quickly turn away
it matters until it doesn’t — it doesn’t)

what a lesson to be learned
what it takes to count days
when time is nothing more than the rain
friend to no one, stranger to all
a different pair of eyes
every year that goes by
hope you’ll looking to the sky
and knowing i’ll be looking too
what would it take to
be okay to know you’re not around
what would it take to
be okay knowing you won’t be around
friend to no one, stranger to all
a different pair of eyes
every year that goes by
hope you’re looking and knowing i’ll be loving you

“man i need some company”
been staying out later than i need to
but you couldn’t catch your breath
been complacently waiting
for some kind of fiction
take me out of disappointment
i’ll give you all the while if you need some time
“it’s not the same anymore”
you pack a chip on your shoulder
to get shot at the nose
you’re running red, running tired
“It’s not something you said
but just the way that it is
you take one look
and the next thing you know
you’re back where you started”
“it’s not the same anymore”
she said, neck-deep underwater
“and you can’t have it all
you write to forget, write to remember
everything
or just the way that is
you take one look
and the next thing you know
you’re back where you started
always
chasing (time)
always
way too late
never making sense
never had your way
you say the day
will come that
they’ll beg and beseech you
or else you’ll come undone
when nothing completes you
when nothing completes you
always
chasing but
never satisfied
can we make it good?
can we make it right?

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust
supported by 5 fans who also own “Glorious Miscellanea”
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
