the fool
01:01
|
|||
It’s noon already
And I feel unsteady
I hiked up the mountain
And spoke to their gods
Facing the ocean
A vast magic potion
Secret ingredient
My tears of joy
Salty SoySauce tears of joy
It’s midnight now
And I don’t know how
I’m still on this mountain
Feeling unsteady
The gods called me a fool
So I jumped into the pool
Of this vast magic potion

it's showing

You were so burned out
I see trails of ashes every you go
Merging your body with bodies of water
Cause you were still burning up inside
Burning up inside
Distracting yourself on the assembly line at your richmond warehouse job
Taking every smoke break you could
DrownIng it out with your earbuds
PTSD memories and flashbacks
You worry about the collective pain
But we never gained the tools
To take care of each other
To heal together
To keep fighting forever
But we’ll get there, I see it coming
I feel we’re learning and learning and growing and growing
It’s showing

I lost myself in the floral patterns of your bedroom carpet
I found myself in fields of tall, tall grass
A place I swore I’d return to
We passed buses, trains and planes and cars
As dykes on bikes with loaded guitars
Strapped to our backs
All we had to follow was the northern star
No phones nor compasses, just guts and hearts
To find our way back
To find our way back
No more running away
No more running away

i got it
01:17
|

I got it, oh I got it you don’t have to tell me again
Knit picking statistics just to prove that you know what you’re sayin’
Well we know what we’re livin’
We feel the patterns in our bones
We see it, yeah we breathe it
In the air of the alleys we stumble through
I got it, oh I got it you don’t have to tell me again
I got it, oh I got it you don’t have to tell me again

Nicky, are you excited
I’m so happy for you
Every time I return
I keep thinking that I’m running into you
But it’s always someone else
I like to think that in some parallel universe
Your body wasn’t found on your wedding day
I’m the age you were then, right now
And I always kept these feelings underground with you
Nicky, are you excited
I’m so happy for you

spiritual warfare
01:57
|
|||
Fed bits of plastic and styrofoam since childhood
That’s all they knew was what tasted good
But there’s so much out there
Beyond the lack of imagination
I killed them with kindness
Didn’t let them control me with my anger
I used my anger to kill them with kindness
Didn’t win every battle
But they never got through with their spiritual warfare

sibling song

Baby sibling in my 7 and a half year old arms
I love you my 동생, I’m sorry that I’m so far
Teenage sibling in my 22 year old mind
I love you my 동생, you have no idea how proud I am of you

Non-binary
You think that I’m confused
But I would say that’s you
‘Cause I know that I’m
Non-binary

shadows
01:30
|
|||
My number for yours
Your medicines for mine
Exchanges of affection
At the hardest of times
Feeling so exposed
It wasn’t the time to show
Our shadows to each other
I reach out now
You reach out then
You ask me out
I ask you when
Feeling so so low
Didn’t even say you had to go
Unpack the shadows by yourself
