Leave it alone
Nightmares come and go
And I’ve got no one left
To tell me where to go
And please don’t
Leave me here alone
Give it some time
Maybe they don’t realize
And can I
Do it on my own
If I
Forgot how to be alone
I don’t belong here anymore
A shadow of who I was before
Weak heart melting on the floor
Sweetheart knocking at the door
Follow your heart
Love your own art
Just maybe you won’t
Have to restart
If time heals
You won’t fall apart

Fire in My Eyes
02:42
|
|||
|
I’m sitting inside
The room that is now mine
It comes in waves
I wanna take care of you some days
Do you want to sit in my room
And listen to music?
I had something to tell you
But I forgot it
Will you try not to lie?
Ignore the sword between your thighs
The womxn that you’ve compromised
Ignore the fire in my eyes
Do you want to go on your roof
And stare at the pavement?
I imagine my body on the ground
Am I a good persxn?
Am I a good persxn
Am I a good persxn
I recall my hands around your throat
In the darkness of our hole
The colors are all muddy now
My angry footprint on your mouth.
Do you want to sit on a hill
And fall down with me?
We could make more coffee
Or just fall back asleep

You and Bobby
03:21

She spoke to me today
Her and Bobby are swimming
Her heart is like a map
Each vein is a river
And the past is painted black
Her lover is above her
Pouring peace into her soul
Somewhere faraway
He left a hole
Because he couldn’t stay
I hope I didn’t say
All of the wrong things
But when I was drowning
Paws upon the death around me
I knew I was not alone
Cuz we are nature’s loom…
Even in the dead of winter
The naked branches exposed
Are the cyclical bones
Of our wings
So all I can do today
Is dream of flying south to be
With you and Bobby
And imagine the water scaling my legs
In a sacred creek in Georgia
Where my heart will always stay

Seeds

Dear god,
If I close my eyes
And sleep tonight
Will you show me the light?
Dear mom,
I slept in your bed
And he wept when he read
That I was gone
My brother
Came into my room
When I came to
And I thought he was you
But the bark around my heart won’t peel off
As my body slowly rots
I’m sorry but I want to be alone
I love you but all of my seeds are sewn
Your eyes
Widened in my dreams
And your smile was complete
But I am empty
I was lost
In my hollow nest
When she told me
That I’d never be happy
I remember
When she laid in the dark with me
And we gave all of the ghosts we could see
A name
But the bark around my heart won’t peel off
As my body slowly rots
I’m sorry but I want to be alone
I love you but all of my seeds are sewn

To Be Alone
02:34
|
|||
|
Is this my curse
To be around you?
To be around you
Your voice is so sweet
You must know how it hurts me.
How it hurts me
Oh where does it all go?
Oh where can I be alone
Now?
To be alone now
I don’t know what is real
Or how to feel
How to feel
I don’t want to be like them
I won’t be able to be your friend
To be your friend
Oh where does it all go?
Oh where can I be alone
Now?

Enter Me
02:19
|
|||
|
The little death of me in time
Leaving only my breath behind
My love is like
The passing of time
Letting god know what is mine
Before I wake up and realize
My whole life
Is based on your light
The memories aren’t real to me
I give up half of my leave me alone
And climb my fine line
To my soul
Only to make myself vulnerable
It’s a question unanswered
A lifetime of
Grazing pasture
And comfort makes
A funny face
When it goes away

It's the Numbing Out
01:48
|
|||
|
And in your garden of sounds
I wait buried in the ground
Troubling that strumming taste
And what might surface through my veins
It’s the numbing out
Take the pill and wait around
Braving punch after punch
Baby I can’t get enough
I’m waiting love
A swallowed hug
Is my crutch
Fool
You pester cruel
You fester underground
So I can’t hear you now!
It’s the numbing out
Take the pill and wait around
Braving punch after punch
Baby I can’t get enough
I’m waiting love
The sort of drums
They beat me up

Hole Again
03:04
|

|
Your hair turns black when you take a bath
And your eyes turn blue when you tell the truth
But you will never bleed
In front of me
And my heart unraveled in your nest
And you don’t know that I left
But I will never bleed
When I leave
I am surrounded by
Everything
And it speaks to me
Although it can’t breath
And I fall asleep
Although I can’t breath
Your frozen heart you’re taciturn
Once a cradle now a mirror
A forever veiled in fur
And sleeping through the winter
Your shoulder blades a silhouette
The shape of regret in our empty bed
But the silence is a map
However foreign the path
I am surrounded by
Everything
And it speaks to me
Although it can’t breath
And I fall asleep
Although I can’t breath
I thought I was alive
But I was just hovering

Low
02:44
|
|||
|
Oh where
Does the time go?
I’m so high
And so low
I can listen to
Your song about me
Wallow in
Self pity and guilty
But does it
Make a difference
If anyone forgives me?
If anyone forgives me
I used to
Make decisions
But these days
They seem to make me
And I wondered,
“Where does it all go?”
And now
I know

A Partner to Lean On

supported by 15 fans who also own “Knock Hard”
A Partner to Lean On is easily one of my top three favorite albums of all time. I heard it for the first time about 5 months ago and have essentially had it on repeat ever since. I've been basically unable to listen to anything else in that time because nothing lives up to this.
