New Boots
01:01

the new boots that you bought me are blistering my feet
every time that it hurts i feel happy
cuz it reminds me you saw the holes in my soles
and patched them without me asking
you make me feel seen
you make me feel loved
and if you ever feel like you might not be
the best one you're the best one
so i will walk home on my warm dry feet
and tell you how much that you mean to me
i'll lead you to water when you forget to drink
and whenever you need me to i'll sing you to sleep cuz
you make me feel seen
you make me feel loved
and you deserve to feel the same because
you're the best one you're the best one

sleep deprived and restless
it's the day after christmas
another overtime shift
eyes dry as shit
ground down or burnt out
it's all the same
energy gone it can't be
replaced
and there's no real rest
no nothing dark and deep
until we hit that
big sleep
class consciousness
sure is hard
when you're barely conscious
of what you're stumbling toward
and there's no real rest
no nothing dark and deep
until we hit that
big sleep

alcohol nights into adderall days
and then adderall nights panic bears me away
how does this violence become commonplace
to myself and to you
hamster wheels in a cage
how does this violence become commonplace
a dog chasing its tail that's my kind of escape
how does this violence become commonplace
the morning doesn't look right
when you've been up speeding all night

they won't call us heroes
for getting out of bed
and they won't throw us laurels
for getting dressed
they won't tell stories years from now
of how we ran errands on our day off
and they won't marvel at how
we made it through even though it was rough
but we're fucking heroes
overcoming our shadow-selves
we're fucking heroes
giving our demons hell
i call us heroes
for getting through each day
i'll crown you with laurels
and we'll always be marvels
when we pin our broke brains to the mat
yeah we're fucking heroes
overcoming our shadow-selves
we're fucking heroes
giving our demons hell

Hilltop Inn, Redding

chainsmoking on the edge of an unmade bed
willing my taut form to loosen
lights on all night push back the dead
outside the morning is blooming
i want my mouth to taste ashy and musty
when you kiss me i want it to burn
i want forest fire i want sap to boil
fertile ground is something you earn

Athame
01:27
|
|||
they ask us to be fair and just
when the world isn't to us
they ask me to temper my rage
i quench my blade
a tightly held charm
glistening and warm warm
angry and afraid
give me strength
my athame

Don't Bury Me
01:13
|
|||
when i die don't you dare bury me
don't spread my ash at sea or in green valley
don't put me in a stone shelf with a nameplate as my lock
compost my tired flesh and bones
let these old nutrients find fresh homes
dig up all the lawns you see
and grow my corpse into crops for the hungry
when i die don't you dare bury me
no don't you do that shit to me
when i die don't you dare bury me
no don't you do that shit to me
when i die don't you dare bury me
no don't you do that shit to me
when i die don't you dare bury me
how can we rise if we're not set free

Thaw

i can feel the thaw coming
and the madness takes hold
for a moment i'm soil
richer than any gold
and the cold lets go
things inside me they grow
and it feels so sweet
oh i just wanna scream

Scaffolding
02:09
|

i'm learning to wear makeup
i'm learning to take it off
my reflection still sucks
i'm trying to shake that stuff
we're all raising up the scaffolding
we're all raising up that scaffolding
we're all raising up the scaffolding
to make cathedrals of our bones
i'm drawing sigils and testing the veil's boundaries
more than anything i wanna talk to god
my younger self would certainly laugh at me
her smug smile a shield barely hiding she's lost lost lost
we're all raising up the scaffolding
we're all raising up that scaffolding
we're all raising up the scaffolding
to make cathedrals of our bones
i can show you some american sighs
and we can survey those bleak tired eyes
it's shaky ground we stand on
and this foundation won't last long
the fire's getting higher
we might just be building pyres
but i won't stop making meaning til i'm gone gone gone
no i won't stop making me until i'm gone gone gone
