New Growth
02:51
|

Wait for the word now three months
Days go fast and days go slow
Gone to the seed now, thrown out
Similarly, here we go
Now I heard you claimed dibs on the sauce
But you never put hands in the sauce
It’ll come across in the recount
Now they’re singing theirs songs in the halls
But you’ve got your ears closed
It’ll come across in the recount
In the recount, when my truth is plain, and my reason sound
In the recount, from the tower top we will bring it down
I walked both the bridges tonight
I walked both the bridges tonight
But I couldn’t find my center
Couldn’t find my center tonight
Tired of these old beats
Tired of these old beats
But if I think about trust and I keep my hands full, I know
And if I watch a body fall and I run to meet them, I know
And if I put it into words like a ladder laid out, I know
It’ll come across in the recount
Waiting on that new growth

Why Suffer??
03:20
|

Missed her just, skimmed her by an inch
Can’t forget that highway since
Still I hope, whisper to the wind
I knew I’d seen a husband then
Round by the car near the shoulder’s where I saw him,
That naked king
Alone in his pity, like sweat in a cup
I was the stranger, he was the mad son
And I couldn't help her, his hand stops for no one
(I’ve seen the impossible)
So leave him there looking for his keys
Sister, why suffer?
Cruelty down on bended knee
Sister, why suffer?
I’m sick of hearing the same story over and over again
Hearing the same story over and over again
Hearing the same story over and over again
Is power in the silence that follows the outburst?
Or is power in the lightness, our gift to this new Earth?
(This is your reality)
So leave him there looking for his keys
Sister, why suffer?
Cruelty down on bended knee
Sister, why suffer?
I’m sick of hearing that same story over and over,
Sick of hearing his small story over and over
Sick of hearing that same story over and over again

Dumb Desire
02:48

This dumb desire
You caught me walking in the fire
This dumb desire
I got a way of making it known
You know I get restless, with good reason
I’m only trying to get the word out
You tell me you’re a hot mess
Well how hot? I’m freezing!
Only trying to get the words out
In the shape of my desire
You caught me walking in the fire
This dumb desire
Yea I see you walking in the fire!
So comfortable in your desire
Well I’m making it known that I want you
This dumb desire
I’m making it known
I’m making it known
I’m making it known
I’m making it known
I’m making it known
Now how could it be, a pure thought with no words to pass through
And I sleep cause I know you’ll be there when I come to
Be there when I come to, come through, come true,
Sometimes not a single word will do
Start something, that’s the only thing on my mind
I know you see it, you set me right with a simple touch
I know you know it, you set me right with a simple touch
How could it be??
You are so good to me
You are too good to me

Vessel
01:41
|

This vessel is a border, a bridge I can’t cross
Til you carry me over, now I’m bathed in sun
You filled me with water, you fed me with earth
And now I’m bursting with color, and you're asleep below
So slow
You showed me beauty, you became beauty
But that’s not all I need
Stone from no quarry, book with no story
But that’s not all I see
I can be better, I will do better
You were too good to me
You were too good to me

108th

No we can’t claim that old spot up by 108th
Even though that’s where we sat
That third shift when you kissed me once
I kissed you once, and that was that
No I can’t claim your body for myself
I can’t stop the sun from shining
Though it’s funny, now I’m weatherproof beneath your roof
But now the families walk on your street
And the lovers sit on your street
Well you won’t hear the sound of my feet on your street!
I stopped by our old spot down by 81st
Even though I walked alone, I still held my breath in quietness
Let them sleep, just let them sleep

Breakdown
02:24
|
|||
Breakdown, breakdown
For now you’re still presiding over your words
They’re your words
You held it, you trained it, but it’s not so impressive to me
I just see madness, a panic of the flesh
Breakdown, you broke down
The shoulder is empty, and I’m nothing til you look at me

Stuck at the top of my hill, yea
Everyone passing through, yea
Nobody looks up
Cause I’m just a moment in time, yea
How am I gonna stay where I am, yea
I’m moving too fast
Nobody sees what I see
Do you ever think about me? Do you want to say you’re sorry?
Do you want to meet up?
I know I’ve been shifting redder, maybe I’m getting older
I waited too long til I got down, cold hands cold hands
I still think of you kindly, cold hands cold hands
Nobody sees what I see, cold hands cold hands
Nobody sees what I see

Your Sound
02:55
|

Wait, can’t I see it, can’t I feel it, can’t I hold it somehow?
The thrill of your sound, the house is filled with the tender fruit of your sound
Now the days have been stacking all the way up
And my legs have been working all the way up
And my stomach can sense it all the way down
And my own blood don’t come around no more
I wait by the door for your sound
Your sound, your sound
Nothing they can say can take me away from your sound
Now the wind has been shifting
And the streets have been warming
And the seas have been dancing
And I can’t even think of your face no more
But still I remember your sound

Quietness
01:04
|
|||
It grows so fast I can’t keep up
This time patience just won’t do
This is the day you’ve talked about
What comforts can’t you do without?
And where will you be when that sweet relief comes?
Where will you be when that quietness comes?
Cause I will be bathing in the ocean, I’ll be swimming free
Where will you be?
You could join me
Fuck the police
