When we fell in love we were innocent minds and innocent hearts when
we were young, it didn't matter how I carried myself when I wasn't sure if you trusted me
Brushing off my face and I am ready for the
sequence to unwind
In a crowded space and yet I'm
so alone I'm diving for the sideline
Sew a patch laced up in white. I'm married tonight. In a silver box lies a golden heart locket that I found all rouged in my grandfather's pocket.
Dusting off my face and I am ready for the
sequence to unwind
Here we are in this place
and yet I can't seem to you find
My father, the phantom of the house
Holy
Making young girls sing out
their song
their song now.
"Dusting off our faces we can see through love if we close them and leave them behind."
Getting an ear for the tune and letting that son of a gun just rhyme.

Hoot Owl

Screen door slamming to a close
Ball of fury in my stomach grows
Who's that laughing, who you with?
And the hoot owl in my heart persists
Tell me is she thin or thick?
Can she sway her hips like a flame upon a wick?
From her shoulders do her breasts hang,
so effortlessly and yet with so much weight?
Oh, I shouldn't stare,
Can't help it but watch you watch
her over there
When I'm
right
here
Origins she's my sister first
How can I trust her less when I'm
feeling these bursts
of jealous rage I put myself
in his headspace
i'm not as good at reading minds these days
Im no longer a mind reader
I'm a basket-case.

through the earth a pedestal
that once stood did hold me
or hold me up
but it's all stolen now
can't recall but i did know
how that song stuck by my throat
and that 's all that matters now
how long downtown leave the light on
you ought to know by now
and it's only the cause
for your
but it won't be for too long
bending all the rules
happened right there
there all .. (breaks down into Impostor)

Only in the dark
I have fears that I/will
tear you apart
Care for me only in the evening
I can see you want to test me
Test me again
Holding back will only set you slack
Sleep in the shelter of the daylight
I can find no thing to hold my mind
Wait on day just to break and then
Fall to pieces.
It's hard in my heart
It's hard in my heart.
Place the mirror in the bedroom
I can see my reflection in the water
I am having doubts about my posture
Impostor!
Impostor!
I'm an impostor, and I love it

Holy Hemma,
Hold me now. Indigenous Spring is falling out. I have spoke your brambles outloud with fear in the way the water could rush them out. Holy water, clear as doubt; in the meadow where the Spring gets loud. My dog is older now, but he doesn't show it, no he doesn't show me how...how to say 'goodbye'. "Carry the load, Charlie boy, carry me home!"
Holy Hemma,
Holding out for what? Sacred plot and that sacred mud. I'm getting older, too, but...it's up to you now, boy. It's up to you.
