I know it's hard to be
With all the olive branches breaking
I have a story to tell
But I’m not sure I know how
I’m hungry for the universe
To wrap their arms around my heart
To give me clear eyes
It’s hard enough to know why
Like a songbird in the sky
A mockingbird jumps after their song
And all the red birds in the backyard are my grandmother
The blue ones aren’t around anymore
And I can’t feel
You anymore
But I’ll try and I’ll try my best

Blue Bottle Snuff Jar

Lovely water flows through my fingers
Brown it may seem from the dirt underneath us
I can see you as long as
water moves gracefully past our bodies
Summer moon peaks their head through the
Trees in our backyard, blue bottle snuff jar
Echos ring when we're out dancing
I hear them crying, sobered past dying
Scary flashlights, faceless chickens
Running ‘round naked, nothing is sacred
I can feel the overcast blowing
All of their mothers died from cancer

Colored Hair

On that day, river’s sweet water grows in my hand
Around the bend later I noticed your colored hair
Smile linger in eyes crawling deep into my skin
He’s a ghost just like your mom he was next to go
And I know it's easy to cry
Forever, widowed skies
And I wish I had more time
To talk with you in my mind
Here I go, lost wind desires forgiving the sun
Tall tree sounds drowning over the lives I let down
Run away over Kiwanis, a creek bed I find
All of my dreams swimming and flying his life passes by
And I know it's easy to cry
Forever, widowed skies
And I wish I had more time
To talk with love in my mind

A beautiful album that feels like that special part of lonliness, like the joy of driving on empty stretches of highway with only your fleeting thoughts to break up the landscape
