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

Laundromat 02:00
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

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

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 00:56
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

about

this album is the result of a somewhat successful writing challenge. i've been writing a lot of longer songs lately and want to hone my precision as a writer, so when i finished the writing for the forthcoming studio lp i decided to try to write an album of songs that were all 1 minute or less. then it became 2 minutes or less. now since one of the songs is two minutes and ten seconds long i will just say these are a lot of very short songs recorded on my iphone and passed on to you with love <3

Casey gave me the idea to use this particular picture as an album cover and Forrest's poem Show Me Some American Signs inspired the song Scaffolding
