Close your eyes and imagine
The center of your being
Let softness echo here
There was a time before
You saw the sky
Go there, when you were new
Let forgiveness flutter here
In the putrid sewers of your guts
Live ogres and wraiths
Find them
Hold their hands, kiss their foreheads
Let compassion flourish here
A hotel pool sits empty in the glow of dusk
Your feet slap hard on the concrete
Past the no running sign
Jump from the edge
This is the first time you know rebellion
Bubbles caress your skin and
Deliver you sweetly to the surface
Float here, this is the first time
You know trust
They’re restocking the shelves
At your local grocery store and
Someone left the milk case open
Step inside
This is when you open a portal
There was a time after you learned
How to lie but before you
Ever lied to a lover
You cut off all your hair
“But you were such a pretty girl”
Grandma said
This is the first time you feel confusion
The feeling of the floor pressing
Into your skeleton
Provides just the right amount of stability
To keep you from killing yourself
You put in headphones and press play
Sweet sonic soliloquies saving your life
What lies beneath is more of the same thing
Only different iterations, always churning
Feel the corners of your lips stretch into a smile
Feel the heat of blushing,
The gnawing of confusion
There were many times in many places
When you looked up and knew love
A swirling cacophony of souls
Vibrating in the same spaces at the same times
Rejoice here
This is where you know magic
Open your eyes and imagine
The furthest reaches of your spirit
Relax, this is when you become.

Oooh, Fresh & New
Oooh, Fresh & New
Oooh, Fresh & New
I was born in a room
Full of strangers eyes
Void let me go and sighed
Said you will live
And you will love
But its gonna hurt
Oh its gonna, its gonna hurt
Til your ready
To come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me

Blow on the water
When it starts to boil over
Angels kill you while you're dreamin
Lift up your feet
When you drive over the tracks
It’s good, it’s good
Its good luck
Like when a bird shits on your shoulder
Or a raindrop falls in your eye
Don’t sit too close to the TV
You’ll ruin your eyes
Are your ears ringing?
Someone’s thinkin about you
Someone, someone’s thinking bout you
Someone, someone’s thinkin bout you
Are your ears ringing?
Someone’s thinkin bout you
Someone’s thinkin bout you

In the water
I found freedom
In the river i hear secrets
Told by rocks slowly scraping
Wearing each other down
Where the cleavage broke
Do my tits make me float?
Here where the water boils
Here where the water boils
I hear voices like instruments
Make object outta me
In a language I hardly -
Understand I was born an American
Understand it hurts so much to be an American
Understand I wish I wasnt an American
Understand I am
I don’t know shit other
Than what the water told me
Down in new orleans
When i had to turn away
From that mighty mississippi
I had to turn away
from that mighty mississippi
She told me she’d take me away
She told me she’d take me away
In mama ganga I dipped 3 times
Release, they said
I swam with the dead
Water, you’re so electric
Water, you take my sin
Water, absolve me
Water, dissolve me
Water, you’re so electric
Water, you take my sin
Water, absolve me
Water, dissolve me
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Away, Away

[Siren Rage]
Heed my warning
All you wicked men
My song will drown you
You’ll meet your end
You should have stayed away
My song will drown you
Choke on my malicious melody
[Siren Rage]
Choke on my malicious melody
I swam to the edge of the Earth
To swallow the sun
You’re nothin, you’re nothin
You’re nothin, you’re nothin
You made me unleash my siren rage

Whoa whoa whoa they said
What a wicked web you wove
Whoa whoa whoa i said
Wicked wild web
Whoa whoa whoa they said
You might just find yourself
Caught up in a web
Whoa whoa whoa is me I’m sad
When i think about all those flies
Caught up in my web
Whoa whoa whoa is me I’m sad

They’re already dead

You’re already dead

I’ll read the river
And tell you a secret
The ones that you love
Hurt you the most
And if they say sorry
Though they probably won’t
It never feels good
Oh no it won’t
Someone remind me
To forgive myself
Someone remind me
To forgive myself
Your soul will get lonely
From time to time
Cuz no one can know you
The way that you know you
So you might as well
Love on yourself
And I’ll do my best
To know you well
Cuz those scars
Look good on you
Those scars look good on you
Scars look good on you
I’ll wrap my arms,
Round you and your wounds
Hold you close
And whisper to you
It’s okay to forgive yourself
It’s okay to forgive yourself

Over yonder there’s a mountain
If we climb it we can see
A place with no horizon
And all the people we can be
And their eyes are watching god
And their eyes are watching god
And their eyes are watching god
And their eyes are watching god
Come with me
Follow your feel
Trust your heart beat
We’ll all be free
Oh beloved
Trust in me
I see god in you
I see god in you
And you in me
And our eyes are watching god
And our eyes are watching god
And our eyes are watching god
And our eyes are watching god
And our eyes are watching god
And our eyes are watching god
Come with me
Follow your feet
Trust your heart beat
We’ll all be free

You’re hiding behind that radioactive smile
That radioactive smile
With teeth jagged as the san antonios
Teeth jagged as the san antonios
All of your yards are
Rusted reminders of how you got here
You say your car broke down and you just never left
Did they snatch your body, or put somethin in the water
Did they snatch your body, put somethin in the water
Were you runnin from time
Were you runnin home
Did they snatch your body, or put somethin in the water
Did they snatch your body, put somethin in the water
You’re hiding

First Song I Ever Wrote
I’m in love with the world
It’s time for me to go
Be swallowed by the one I love
And I’ll give the leftover pieces of me
To my mistress the sea
And the moon will look down with jealousy
By mornin I’ll let the sun
Fill the hallow me
Once old and used
I’ll awaken brand new
And the rain that drips
From my limbs and fingertips
will create the puddles you splash in
And I’ll shine as bright as a single star in the night (X4)
Oh i’m in love with the world
Its time for me to go
Be swallowed by the one I love
The one I love
The one I love
The one I love
The one

Let the sweet cicada song
Guide you home
And bury you for 17 long long years
And when you claw your way to life
You'll shed your skin (x4)
And with this body you'll feed everything
The wind will take what’s left of you
You'll float on memories
Till you turn to dust
Till you turn to dust (x4)
You’ll creep and you’ll crawl (x4)
Letting it all go
Becoming what you don’t know
Know
Sweet sweet cicada song
Guide us home guide us home
Guide us home
Home
