Build A Church With Debris (R.Keith)
July 26th, 2017 - August 14th, 2017
whispering
needle straw black forest tree
Dennis sticks his spoon in his tea
build a church with debris
cosmetics
what should I put on this beach?
gates timekeeping on the beat
remember
the dirt and the sea
rearranging sea arranging changing
daydream
a dream
wet street sounding
a ceiling
arranging
whispering

Anything, Everything (L.Keith)
October 13th, 2018 - May 27th, 2019
How’s it going?
Why don’t you tell me about everything going down in your life right now
Tell me about your day
Because if you want to talk I wanna hear whatever you have to say
If you want to talk
I want to hear
Anything and everything
That you’ve got to say
Anything, everything that will keep you gazing this way
What you give to me
Is a chance to look over your face and bathe in your otherness
I’m not staring
As long as your lips keep moving I have permission to look on
If you wanna talk
I want to hear
Anything and everything
That you’ve got to say
Anything, everything that will keep you gazing this way
Pouring through the topics in my head
What will keep you talking?
Which topic has the most to be said
What will keep you talking?

She’s Over It (R.Keith)
August 10th, 2018 - July 6th, 2019
She got over it... at last…. over it
The choir of ghouls don’t sing in her head..
She’s thinking about something else instead
She chews on a pipe over what she said…
Lets the distant ship sink to the ocean bed.
She’s Over It!
I got over it... at last…. over it
I’m not her, but I’ll try to describe, how she barreled the falls into the vaporing ice.
A mastodon emerged the closets of time opened by the test tubes inside of her mind.
She’s Over It!
Actuate!
She got over it... at last…. over it
I’ll stand at a podium and point at a screen, with maps and diagrams of what happened to me.
We’re billions of creatures pacing under the moon, at the end of the stairs with dust on our shoes.

I Will Sit By Your Door (R.Keith)
February 17th. 2020 - December 26th, 2020
The last place with the sign still on
under Spanish moss full of memory,
is tired like the south is tired.
Old cars, they rest in the flowerbeds.
So shuffle down in your brothel creepers,
your combat boots and your Manic Panic.
Oh, you know, I’ll wipe off your table.
I’ll say a bag of sugar in your ear.
I Will Sit By Your Door
I’ll stay in your haunted house tonight.
I’ll catch the train to where we used to be.
I’ll scoot up to you from the end of a long dark bar…
summon smiles that I may not feel.
I Will Sit By Your Door
Run through the field, you can see they are behind us.
Look down, the weeds are the survivors.
And clouds can mean ominous things…
it’s just a song, a confusion of steam.
Let your silver dollar sink into the fountain.
Imagine great things as you paint ceilings.
We all sleep on mattresses with crooked frames
and never leave the way we came.

Kids Follow Power Lines (R.Keith)
March 20th, 2019 - August 21st, 2019
kids follow power lines
we follow power lines
until the moon invades the blueing sky
religious sky
dark after-image eyes
fell asleep in my clothes

Let It Come Down (R.Keith)
October 26th, 2020 - February 6th, 2021
Maybe I’ll see you one day
Sitting next to me
Trust the word you say
You sing
Let it come down
Let it break the clouds
The water is rising
You’re overjoyed, I can see
Homegoing will come one day
You sing
Let it come down
Let it break the clouds
You want to be under leaves?
Pay the boatman at the sea?
I have things I’m doing
Go on without me
I’d like to walk away
I’m chained to your feet
You can leave
I’ll stay...
Let it come down
Let it break the clouds

Projection Screen (L.Keith)
August 13th, 2019 - December 26th, 2020
You’re back again and you want to talk but it’s never a two way street.
You always dominate and see what you want every time we meet.
Machine gets hot, the gears spin, the story starts, and the light is blinding.
Projection screen, there I go again, being who you want me to be
Projection screen, there you go again, seeing who you want to see.
But do you ever see me? Do you ever see me?
There you go again..
Our conversations are always amiss when you stare at me waiting to speak.
Then you twist my words and make assumptions. Your comments show that you’re barely listening.
Projection screen, there I go again, being who you want me to be
Projection screen, there you go again, seeing who you want to see.
But do you ever see me? Do you ever see me?

I Am At The Laundry, Imagining You (R.Keith)
April 16th, 2018 - January 26th, 2020
I am at the laundry, imagining you.
What have you been finding?
Are you singing forró songs under painted backdrops?
I daydreamed dancing to your songs.
The spell is there, even though you are gone.
I look across the cattails.
Where have you been?
Music from a car going by, blurring by me.
We’re standing on the flowers.
fossilized fields, fossilized fields
I am at the bodega, imagining you.

I Want To Call You Baby (L.Keith)
June 22nd, 2020 - July 11th, 2020
You call me up and ask if you can stay.
Just till Mercury’s out of retrograde.
You need a space to hide your face til the cosmos are back in place.
Well you know me, I’m always on. You’re always on my mind.
I wanna call you baby. Not once or twice, but daily.
I could tell you how I feel and it’d be fine.
But then again you might say, “Ha, get in line.”
You have a way of never letting any fan go astray.
Well you know me, I’m always on. You’re always on my mind.
I wanna call you baby. Not once or twice, but daily.

Software (R.Keith/C.Van Orsdale)
original demo August 13th, 2009. EOGS: November 6th, 2020 - December 13th, 2020
We know there’s a better life that we can make if we design it
You know, you’ve got nothing like me
Let’s go buy some software and see where it leads us
We can make a film starring both of us
We can be romantic leads in a science fiction film
We know there’s a better way we can make if we contemplate
and you’ll see just what I mean
Let’s go buy some software and see where it leads us
We can write some songs sung by both of us
We will make the girls cry and we will be there in the end
We need a change of pace
Something different and all wide open
You know it isn’t far away if we design something to see where it leaves us
Songs and film can paint the way for us
We’ll use zeroes and ones to design a world for us

On Being Away (R.Keith)
August 13th, 2019 - December 23rd, 2020
Don’t call me now,
I’m slowly moving sunlight on the bedroom wall
Don’t tear my playhouse down,
You’re working outside while I’m working in my mind
I go unfocused, but when I come back, I’m better for you
In this world, sometimes, all I want to do is run away
All I want to do is run away run away
It’s never because of you
Put out there away
Fold it into later
For an hour
I need some time with it before it leaves me
I go unfocused, but when I come back,
I’m better for you
in this world, sometimes, all I want to do is run away
All I want to do is run away run away

Tell Me Now (L.Keith)
December 27th, 2020 - January 25th, 2021
If you’re not coming home tonight.
If your texts are just a lie.
If you’re trying to start a fight.
Tell me now, Tell me now, Tell me now, and I’ll get to sleep somehow.
If you’re looking for trouble right now.
Digging deeper into the ground.
You’re not happy with what you’ve found.
Tell me now, Tell me now, Tell me now, and I’ll move out somehow.
If you were done long ago, grow up babe, and let me know.
Being a pawn in this game...
used to excite me but it’s not the same.
Let’s take, let’s take, let’s take a step toward goodbye.
If you’re feeling at home with the blame.
Comfortable here in the shame.
Sharing the burden of pain.
Tell me now, Tell me now, Tell me now, and I’ll forget you somehow.

Trees Don’t Grow Under Playgrounds (R.Keith)
August 16th, 2020 - December 23rd, 2020
you crossleg knowledge box
you clued-in disturbance
wind can bring roofs down
trees don’t grow under playgrounds
you lasting memory
you light inside of it
forests become ships
trees don’t grow under playgrounds
all the pictures taped on your wall
creatures outside, they’ll just sleep on in the trees
the playground is empty
the playground is empty
trees don’t grow under playgrounds

Cut Collage Reassembled (R.Keith)
original demo February 15th, 2009. EOGS: December 30th, 2020 - February 6th, 2021
It all came to me
It all came to me
The colors and the winding songs
and you’re dancing with your new dress on, new dress on, new dress on
It all came to me
It all came to me
This thing we made got chariot wings
and you’re dancing with your new dress on, new dress on, new dress on
Cut Collaged, Reassembled
Improbable we’d end up together
It all came to me
It all came to me
The surface unfolds for us to see
and you’re dancing with your new dress on, new dress on, new dress on
It all came to me
It all came to me
We’re painting over paintings
and you’re dancing with your new dress on, new dress on, new dress on
