my lover 04:53
Particles slipping underneath the marble Particles sinking underneath the concrete My lover he don't want to hold me as I weep My lover he don't want to have me as the one to keep My lover he don't travel often but when he does It's me he won't take He's leavin' me But you hold me like a burning flower And I slip right through your hand You warm my nectar Drop me to the cold when I'm awake Etched in me the lines you colour Careless and bleeding through and through Shaping into blue Baby I'm blue for you My lover is gone My lover turns away when he wants me the most Aching in my heart I wanna hold him close Warm his bones, set fire to his insides My lover, he's a fool What does that make me? I'm a fool for you My lover is gone

i’m finding the way to hold myself when my heart it screams in spite is that the catalyst I need? to learn the holy love of self i’ll wrap my arms between my inner thigh clench my legs into the night I see you there as the reason for our distance that I never wanted I don't care the reason Don't let it happen the space between us is growing larger than this room i can’t let blame reach me, I won't be hard like you i’ll wrap my arms between my inner thigh clench my legs into the night I see you there as the reason for our distance that I never wanted I don't care the reason Don't let it happen we've become frozen bodies, Unreachable. which one will blow warmth to thaw the hurt first i feel strongest when it’s me. the choice of weakness is a wicked one a strange path to nowhere on choking on my own tongue with droppings from my eyes a soft touch to the one I love, will you hold me? I got no reply Don't let it happen .

city song 04:06
A lonely heart can't compete with shuffling eyes and peculiar feet Hums and grunts, laughs, and sombre faces these are the spaces that keep me warm It's not too much Reflections of the earth In this one swirling madness Grab your stillness for this Rounded spine, hard spine, leaking spine - symbols of this innerscape Moving outward Turning on its side Back to the sky, hands on pavement I hear you I hear you, I hear you come back, come come back, come back you have stolen the best parts of me thank god for that Drawing lines to find the time And you hand me the eraser Calls me on Into the pocket's jingle His kiss was energy for me feeding me simple complexities A nourishing wrap around of I'll take more Now please, I'll give more please City lights oh overcast my luminance The day is over, and We're needing your sparkle I hear you I hear you I hear you oh chorus: come back come come back come back you've stolen the best parts of me and thank god for that meddling minds can't live here In the Smoky air and lack of field race to the finish line I never finish I'm floating in grace Dancing suns in your eyes Wide laced with precious feeling I can't ever leave you this city love breaks me and bends me If I don't keep my footing Challenges of the preformed grooves Old and breaking break them all away Reformulating play reformations Break them all awaaaay chorus: come back come come back come back you've stolen the best parts of me and thank god for that

Oh, waiting for the storm to come As I'm strumming alone on my own Starring in the mirror it looks back at me and shatters ‘cuz of all the secrets I keep tucked away So maybe for now, I will breathe in the silence out loud And feel my fingers on this empty wood Oh waiting for the storm to pass I will sit quietly Ears openin’ up I am carrying my demons close to me, Tucked in my back pocket for only me to see How could he ever know me How could I ever show you A broken picture covered in roses Water me down Water me down Water me down Water me down But then the wind it blows me away And the demons unleash beyond me And I am seen I am seen And I just stay still As the pieces are breaking around I’m out of control now I cannot take it all back Oh waiting for the wind to change Ohh, what if he sees He knows it’s not me But then he knows he has lost to them And I, too, have become undone I let them in Time and time again They’ve built a home inside my body How could I remember How could you surrender A broken picture covered in roses Water me down Water me down Water me down Water me down He's calling me down to the spotlight Has a chair all ready to confess To share All of my secrets But I cannot say it I can only sing the truth Water me down Water me down . . . Can I forgive me Can I forgive me Can I forgive me Can I forgive me Can I?

never alone 04:05
I watched you go I stood there on my tip toes Waiting for you to come back Mornings stretch into afternoons that scream and settle into heart as a whisper Love, do you know? You never have to carry anything alone ever again Never again The body speaks in magnificent tones your resounding gifts for all to hold Love, do you know? You never have to carry anything alone ever again Never again You've been in the shadows far too long, Escaping the small, this fertile scape is tall Time was short and god is good For bringing us here - on fire 🔥 I watched you go I stood there on my tip toes. . .
