Before I Wake
03:34
|

|
Waiting on sleep I curl a hair band round and round my fingertips
Listen to the rain and whisper a prayer for snow before I wake
I think of your face again and how the timbre of the laughter softened my shape
The smell of the hyacinth wafts earthy and fertile through the window
We’re dancing on the water
The sunrise peaking
We’re dancing on the water
The sunrise peaking
I think of your face again and how the timbre of the laughter softened my shape
The smell of the hyacinth wafts earthy and fertile through the window
We’re dancing on the water
The sunrise peaking
We’re dancing on the water
The sunrise peaking

Say

I’m a whisper–
The cool air fills my cheeks
A crack to my shin
I curse through my teeth
Hear you–
shifting on the hardwood
Tears come easy
In the middle of the day
Crystalized by golden rays
I’m drifting–
Looking for a sign of life
In the cracks of my palms
Bathed in maroon
Say what you mean
Say what you mean
Say what you mean
Say what you mean

Our Arms Touch

Oh, would you take me out dancing tonight
I wanna move in the moonlight
I wanna feel our skin
Oh, would you take me in your arms
I wanna feel all your warmth
I wanna be near you
I wanna be near you
I wanna be near you
We go, in love
Beautiful faces
Everywhere I turn, I see
Beautiful faces tonight
Everywhere I turn, I see
With everyone around
Wrapped in arms of gratefulness
Everyone around
We move together
We move together
We move together

Lemon
04:33
|

|
Looking for the sunshine through lilac eyes
Veiled in the winter white–
Laura holds dust in her lungs
Tongue puckered up
Wilted in the cracking ice
I can’t see anything through the fog
but windmills turning–
Ellie curls next to me
Heart rate slowing
Words are lost in the drown
Wavering quietly–
Lemon blooms penetrate the sound
Plump in the center
Fading at the edges–
A quivering flame
Ellie’s dance of grace
A jade’s tilt the shine
A growing cry
I can feel her readying to go
Me and sister watch from the grass
Whispering “make it slow”
I can feel her readying to go
A rush of water down my throat
I can feel her readying to go
Fading mind, succulent growth
I can feel her readying to go
A rush of water down my throat

Standing Water
03:46
|
|||
|
Fell asleep with my mouth open wide
Dreamt I suffocated again
A limp body holding me down
The taste of salt on my lips
I feel you stirring
I wait impatiently
For the sun to rise and clean me up
Holy fire slipping through my fingertips
I wanna keep you here right next to me
Emptiness calls like wind howling through wheat
I don’t appreciate anything in reach
Can’t ever articulate that sinking feeling
See us drifting
My belly gets all twisted
Longing for warmth
Longing for warmth
Holy fire slipping through my fingertips
I wanna keep you here right next to me
Emptiness calls like wind howling through wheat
I don’t appreciate anything in reach
Will I always doubt everything
Drowning in uncertainty
Want the warmth to swallow me
Keep me calm
Keep me free

Ruby

Fen’s ruby
Through my fingers–
You can’t move on your own
Anymore
Say I love you with the eyes
I think they’re mine
I think they’re mine
Watch it (burning)
Till there is nothing (when I look back)
I know there’s nothing left (you won’t talk)
You’re not impressed
You’re not impressed
I know you’re not impressed
I’m gone before the sun goes down
Wanna stay in touch
Feel so alone
Hot and cold
Know there so much more that I should know
Watch it (burning)
Till there is nothing left (when I look back)
I know there’s nothing left (you won’t talk)
So what’s it for (When you go back I feel nothing)
Ya what’s it
( a blank spot) Till there is nothing left
(And all at once no one to blame) I know there’s nothing left
(A false start)You’re not impressed
(And all at once you feel nothing)
I know you’re not impressed
So what’s it for
Ya, what’s it
Ya, what’s it

How Long Are We Here
04:19
|
|||
|
Looking lost and shy
Trailing on the line
It’s cold outside
I didn’t try
Crying on the phone
Reading your tone
Don’t know what it’s like
Don’t know what it’s like
We’re not going home
Said you didn’t know
You’d be around
Not sure if you wanna be
We’re not going home
Said you didn’t know
You’d be around
Not sure if you wanna be around

Pollen lands on every surface
A yellow cloud rising
I go to sleep clenching
Watching days disappear
I know I’ll never get clear
Sunlight streams
We sing together
Children play
and I try not to be so sensitive
So sensitive
So sensitive
You’re so sensitive
So sensitive
So sensitive
So sensitive
You’re so sensitive
So sensitive
So sensitive
So sensitive

Hating myself again
Hating everything
Brother says we’re the kind
Who sink low
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing
Hating myself again (Burning fast my bitter pill
Like a bridge unloaded)
Hating everything (You’re a past life creeping in
Deeper sin unspoken)
Brother says we’re the kind (Burning low my dying sun
Empty figures haunted)
Who sink low (You’re a fire in my skin
Favorite sin unspoken)
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing
I break things down to nothing

Helen

Helen I was pretending not to see
Holding my breath as you sleep
Hoping you would curl next to me
Wake and tell me something sweet
Helen I was hoping we could leave
Get up in the night and not speak
Drive me to sea
I’ll wade in the dark
Washed by the salt
I miss your hands
Steady and strong
I miss your hands
How did you move on
I miss your hands
Steady and strong
I miss your hands
How did you move on
How did you move on
How did you move on

Cry through the night
Trees on the walls
Our bodies on the carpet
Red thread hugging us
Lay still try not to wake em up
In the next room
Or the little ones sleeping downstairs
It’s her birthday and we’re all here
To celebrate
But I can’t keep it together
I can’t keep it together
Like stepping back in time
Everything in the same place
When we were kids
We’re not kids now
I think it keeps her calm– moving
But I keep falling apart
Stepping back in time
Everything in the same place
When we were kids
We’re not kids now
The sun is pale shining through the window
It smells just like I remember
She and sister cry in the bedroom
Trying to recall what she wanted to wear
The sun is pale shining through the window
It smells just like I remember
She and sister cry in the bedroom
Trying to recall what she wanted to wear
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
Everybody that I love
