lyrics

Screen turn on
Screen turn on
Mourning doves and flying bugs
They dance around my dying buzz
Till my screen turns on

Screen, stay on
Focus on
Low horizon lines stretch wide
And canyon walls lay side to side
But my screen’s still on

Memories repeating on a constant loop all day
Leave my eyes as numb and dry as this Best Western ashtray
I remember this room. This consecrated tomb, floating away

Will you still remember me when I get back from Santa Fe?

Screen, please be gone
Screen makes me feel wrong
The string holding the world unties
Creating these painted desert skies
Til my screen turns on

I lift my coat to shield this paper bag all soaked in rain
Enclosed, the blood of antichrist is coursing through my veins
Unbroken bread and rotten fruit leave this bleached out bedding stained
Across the dark motel room, doves and shadows spell your name

My banished hands and knees are marked with rug-burn, marked with shame
Because I thought my holy promised land would still remain
But my entire kingdom's laying trampled in the rain, in the rain

As I start my car at dawn, and drive north through the western plains
I wonder with my remaining thoughts whether you have moved away

And, will you remember me when I get back from Santa Fe?

His intricate finger-picking and soaring hypnotizing vocals were undeniable, reverberating throughout the hushed room.” - KEXP Blog
