Lullaby

Your metal is thick
This is where I sit
Baby you slay every day
beasts they hide away
You don't bother to chase that's my game
You could write a lullaby for me just like you did for her
Watch me whittle away
Thank you for leaving your lover's blade
A pen, a piece of paper, some kindling wood, a flame
You could write a lullaby for me just like you did for her
Your words, your song, your sage lullaby
No child could sleep through that noise
Your words don't soothe
Your words, your song, your sage lullaby

No line upon which to draw
The meanings we’ve carved into memories
Embellished dreams not much real
The past filled to the brim with fictions
Laced with intentions, hopes and fears
And in the morning I begin erasing.
Still it sits before me
You and I in frame
Touched by time
Breathe with me
The breaths of this polluted city exhaling all it’s meanings
Kate Bush whispers in my ears
No stranger’s feet will enter me
Love uncontained and rebirthed
again and again
Laced with intentions, hopes and fears
And in the morning I begin erasing.
Still it sits before me
You and I in frame
Touched by time
Breathe with me
The breaths of this polluted city exhaling all it’s meanings

Shift through states
lick liquor off of fists
drain water from every port
come undone
Now it tastes bittersweet
Love is a constant garden
And wild is the weather
Dress cuts and soother with salt
burn to close holes
kiss til tender
come, come, come undone
Now it tastes bittersweet
Love is a constant garden
And wild is the weather
See how the storm fills us up
Wild is the weather
See how the storm fills us up

Love Breaks time
04:59
|

|
Til the sun sleeps again
I'll be gone dreaming
Knowing nothing
but feeling everything
Words come to me slowly
Always knew just where to hide
Shy creatures of the night
Hide from the light
Isn't it just that love takes time
Isn't it just the case that love takes time
I'm just a fool for your gravitational pull
I'm just too far away unless you really look
I don't know why you hold me like you do
I don't know why you hold me like you do
I don't know why you hold me like you do
I don't know why you hold me like you do
Isn't it just that love breaks time
Isn't it just the case that love breaks time
I'm just a fool for your gravitational pull

Pocket full of Stones

How did we get here?
In one minute everything went unclear
I used to know just how to steer
But I don’t remember driving here
This is a long, long way from home
I lace my pockets full of stones
Why does the ocean make me feel so alone?
Why do you say that I am so big?
Somehow your words find a place to stick
Find me a branch to make it hurt
To feed it
Remembering when I was a child
All full of scratches, a girl gone wild
All full of mud and living in trees
Yeah, that’s the real me
Why do we fake it as we get older?
Why do we make everything so serious?
Was it God that got us scared?
Or just the stories we were fed?
Why do I answer questions with questions?
Why do I care any old which way?
Isn’t it true that no one knows?
Everyone’s guessing anyway.
I know of beauty as I see it
I know of love just as I feel it
I know, I know nothing at all
Of how it is for you.
Sometimes I smell the air in Waenhuiskrans
I taste salt from 12,000 miles away
And just maybe I’ve gone crazy
And just maybe I like it that way
I have always known your face
I have always known this place
And here I’ll leave, the first stone.
