I Won't Go

You want the truth? Well, let me paint it for you. You want a move? Well, you can take all you want to. I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. Breaking the mold, don't ask me when. I'd give it all to be there again. I won't go. My legs are stone, my head is in the wool. I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. My heart is home. I'm not lost. No need to wrap around. Like a closed fist. Like a wall of sound. I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. My heart is home. Leave me where you found me. My heart is home. Leave me where you found me. My heart is home. Leave. No, I won't go. Don't you know by now? No, I won't go. Don't you know by now? I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. I won't go. My legs are stone. My head is in the wool. My heart is in the mud and in the sun. You want the truth? Well, I gave it to you.

Fireflies

Come patience, I am ready for the coming season. Calm water, are we moving for the right reason? Following fireflies, slowly I change into my dream. Home find me, are you where I left or where I'm going? Soft cool night, I'll be ready in the coming morning. Following fireflies, slowly I change into my dream. Following fireflies, slowly I change into my dream.

Crack in the Sky

Tried sitting with the night. Tried blinking slow on a boat of all I don't know. Walked out of my skin. I was alone not too far from who I am. I need your hands. I need your gamble on me now. Asked for my dams to break. To breathe again. Feel my memory. Some people cry for space. You left in spades in your shrouded grave. Without your air nothing to push against to know I'm here. A crack in the sky. A coming of light now from the other side. Like desert water taken in summer. Like whispered goodbyes under our minds. I made up mine to leave this town. I need your hands. I need your gamble on me now. I need your hands. I need your gamble on me now.

Old Love

I wanted you to kiss. My dreamscape's been littered with it. All the ways I am afraid. I'm out here on a lake. I want to taste the lace. Of all that crumbles with age. Fight the urge to turn away. Hold shape of your face. We could dress it up. Put lights around. When the bottom drops out and we can't be found. I'm waiting in the sun. Far away from the rest of them. Don't we close our eyes to see. I don't know what's coming. We could dress it up. Put lights around. When the bottom drops out and we can't be found. We could dress it up. Put lights around. When the bottom drops out and we can't be found.

Still Here

Here where you woke and where you slept. Here where you birthed and where you died. Here where the trees all know your scent. Here where you painted walls. Here where your fire burned. Here where you gathered life. Over and over, falling on your shoulder. Strong as a mighty forest night. Free as a raven's gaze, flying over. Here where sun and moon meet. Here where we pause and breathe. Over and over, falling on your shoulder. Strong as a mighty forest night. Free as a raven's call, flying over. Ease wind catch her fall, to fields of roses. What's undone? Looking for answers. What's undone? Making room for trees. What's undone? You're flying past the moon now. What's undone? Everything's left here. It's here. It's here.
