Nothing is Behind

you were born
sometime when I was not looking for the sunrise
just scrubbing the sink tile
like a shoot in deep May
when everyone else is thriving
and you're barely emerging
but we'll never leave your side
the late bloom is on time
nothing is behind
so if it takes many years to change -
the one degree
over time takes you miles
from where you'd otherwise be.
so keep going
I don't know what you need
and so I stand by and question
where I went wrong in Autumn
I don't know what will give you strength
so I go in a circle
I keep digging the same hole
but we'll never leave your side
the late bloom is on time
nothing is behind
so if it takes many years to change -
the one degree
over time takes you miles
from where you'd otherwise be.
so keep going
and every time the doubt arrives
get back to earth's body
where your faith lies
it's not fair that the soil was shit
but goddamn it's crazy
how you keep on exisiting
nothing is wrong with your mind
It's just this world got more insane
than your spirit could sustain

This Womb

goodby girl I'll miss you so
our body's changing
your hair is greying
how you bloomed with bravery
fortified yourself
with illusions you couldn't see
but this shell has held you long enough now
it's done it's protecting
it's time to grow up and grow out
of this womb
hurricanes have a way
of excavating
all that is not really true
as you fight to stay alive
you find what used to work
no longer resuscitates
so thank that girl for holding you upright
surviving the lightening
it's time for her last breath
she's ready to buried
and all that's still true
of her stays with you
there's no way to go back
to reenact those bright years
my child you can trust
that when her eyes close
you're really just nearer to home

The lyrics and vocals are a raw, intimate, and brave testimony to the intricate structures of the human mind, and the gift of courage found at the bottom of the deep, dark well of spiritual reconstruction. ... more
