Manhattan Project
(by Jesse Payne)
Camera lens, medicine
I hope I float
I’m a skipping stone
When the time comes
our stomach’s choke
Momentum stops or slows
Cover and Code
your secrets out don’t you know
Diplomatic control
Unconditional post-war
Dixie cups and magazines
bloodshot eyes on dramamine
We’ll congregate like uniform
marching home
Cover and Code
your secrets out don’t you know
Diplomatic control
Unconditional post-war
Shake it off your shoulder
take it like a soldier
you better take it like a soldier

Scripting Carolina
Written by: Jesse Payne
Overcoats and transit
Lashes and tactics
The steady shake
The gaps of transaction
Echo reaction
I'm fearful of love
I'll lean until I rise
Scripting Carolina
Our future is an antique
We will radiate
The steady shake
Garlands tangle your groove so calm
My coral vine
I hold you shy
I'll lean until I rise
Scripting Carolina

Yards Of Paint
(by Jesse Payne)
Driveways tear unconscious walls
the fence will sharply sway
unstable yards of paint
my clockwise spring
Was narrowed by the muzzle’s fit
the fractions of a breeze
branches holding leaves
with unswept breath
The doctor said don’t reset the screen
it becomes general you know
Campaigns bear on skinned up knees
these military halls
ration out our thoughts
with retro-film
Like mountains under snow
the pines will come and go
Where the ocean meets the old
The doctor said don’t reset the screen
it becomes general you know
I want you to grow as if your still
the doctor says it becomes general
The doctor said, “ I want you to grow”
“it becomes general, you know”

Wes Anderson
Written by: Jesse Payne
You, I know
Seven letter draw for your double word score
And me here
Sittin' on a porch with a cat and a smoke
You know it's easy being low
In someone else's home
Tennis elbow painting sofas
With our remote in hand we sever the air
CNN, cooking in our barefeet
Listenin' to talkin' heads sayin' that we don't care
You touch the keys I'll keep the beat
Like sweeping up cigarettes from the night before
New clothes burning in the backyard
Dryin' out all our jokes, crouched behind open doors
You, I know
Seven letter draw for your double word score
And me here
Sittin' on a porch with a cat and a smoke
You know it's easy being low
In someone else's home
We love songs in the key on "C"
Hummin' all the words we know, we sing the ones we don't
Boxes folded with our laundry
Flippin' through these satellites, wonderin' why there's nothin' on the wall
Hangin' faces tied to levels
Our nails hammer, swing, holes in the wall
Fillin' up closests with our cameras
We'll recharge batteries we'll sharpen up our claws
You, I know
Seven letter draw for your double word score
And me here
Sittin' on a porch with a cat and a smoke
You know it's easy being low
In someone else's home

My Autumn Chair
(by Jesse Payne)
I know I sold you out
pushed by a watch
all rivers swing
until the harvest drought
under the crest of canvas heights
You were my autumn chair
calm and creakin'
If our hands could heal
would you golden the fall
to shoulder the air
or turn on your brightest wheel
hollowed by truth
your dust needs room
You were my autumn chair
calm and creakin'
You were my autumn chair
calm and creakin'

Heavy Cotton Hands

Heavy Cotton Hands
(by Jesse Payne)
Cautious wheels
strongbox stove
shallow creek
drown my bones
Yeah we'll try to keep the lids closed
Yeah we'll try to keep the lids closed
A crippled roof
leaks the swell
on humble eyes
empty shelf
A glass embrace behind your couch falls
we tell ourselves
Heavy cotton hands hold us
Yeah we'll try to keep the lids closed
Yeah we'll try to keep the lids closed
Heavy cotton hands hold us
