it's a quiet, smokey monday
i'm in fibromyalgic pain
you never go away
no matter how fucking much i complain
but you get to scream, yeah you get to shout
while we put up with this shit
and they never learn what we're about
we're so meticulous in the ways that we care
but the reciprocation is lacking
and then you've got the fucking nerve to dare
to take and take
while we wither away

dragons in my head

we traded stickers and i put yours on the upper corner of my sketch book, the one that was in my Massy Books tote bag and got sweet and sour sauce spilled on along the bottom of the pages
did i tell you that i started painting using purple acrylic on canvas from the dollar sore with money i made bussing at the 3 dollar breakfast diner by nanaimo and broadway
so that you could meet the dragons in my head
yeah, there's dragons in my head
yeah, there's dragons in my head
yeah, there's dragons in my head

i'll finish up a puzzle Freddie gave me
they sent me up across the border with so much food,
so much food
i'm smelling the medicines that Haddas brought me,
that Haddas brought me
i'm humming Ava's songs that she sang in the living room
the living room, the living room
the living room

big turnover
01:02
|
|||
|
i live to disappoint my boss and get back my money that he stole from me
i live to disappoint my boss and get back my money that he stole from me
by hanging out in a toilet stall and pretend to take a really long shit
and i wanted to start a union but my comrades were bigoted and chose not to show solidarity towards my intersectional identities
i'm just waiting til i hit that wall
and find somewhere else to work
i'm just waiting til i hit that wall
and find somewhere else to work

not ready
01:05
|
|||
|
i'm not ready to open my heart
i've been hurt too many times
i'm still sewing the pieces back together
i like spending time on my own
or going on walks with my friends
maybe i'll see you at a 648 Kingsway show

it's not a choice
02:00
|

|
today i fucked around with my late nana's piano
my uncle gave it to me after she passed away
music and poetry always called to me
it was never a choice
you think i'd choose to suffer like this
you think i'd choose to suffer like this
yeah, it's what brings me life
it brings me hope
but it's also what kills me
how could you think that this easy?
how could you think that there were other paths I could walk down?
'cause it was never a choice
this was never a choice
you think i'd choose to suffer like this
you think i'd choose to suffer like this

little hag
01:51
|
|||
|
I'm just a little hag hiding in the city
brewing up a song for all of us to have
and I carry around a bag, full of tricks and treats
candied ginger, narcane and morals and their stories
'cause you gotta respect the land, and the people that are on them
and the peoples that are from them
and you can't forget to respect yourself while you're at it!
And I'll cook a tofu stew
Put some doenjang and kimchi in it too
Sprinkle some diagonally chopped spring onions
As extra good fortune for you
Alchemize my pain into a medicine to take
I'm learning to not give it all away
I've gotta cherish it too
I'm just a little hag hiding in the city
brewing up a song for all of us to have
