Broken
03:55
|

Don't I know by now
How to smooth my brow
Don't I know by now
Think I could learn somehow
Couldn't tell you
What I was doing
When the lights went dim
And now I'm an empty
Woman carrying
Children to water bins
Somehow I showed up here
Dumb words, tired ears
Restless eyes and blinking feet
To see you actually in front of me
And what we didn't say
A better bandaid
Than any healthy advice
Melt my violence
With your gentle silence
Slowly hue my dye
I am broken right now
I am broken right now
I am broken
I am broken
I will work again
Mmm mmm
La la la la
I will work again

Every Name
03:47
|
|||
Used to be I’d run thru everything
Used to be I’d never stop
When time stood still I could hear them calling
Every name I ever forgot
On a long long road going slow going nowhere
I’m learning to love this way
When night rolls in I’ll be here by your good side
There’s nothing more to say
Used to be I was scared of what they’d say
If I got from my knees
But if there’s a storm coming in let’s ride it out
At the tops of the trees
On a long long road going slow going nowhere
I’m learning to love this way
When night rolls in I’ll be here by your good side
There’s nothing more to say

The Middle
02:34
|

Do you love me
When I'm angry, when I'm ugly
When I'm crying because I'm lonely
And you're right there
Do you remember
Why you chose me when you met me
In my twenties, I was pretty
And I was scared
It wasn't the path I imagined I would take
And there are some choices that I wish I could un-make
As long as I end up here
Do you love me
And my body after babies
Broke it open, rearranged me
I'm worn out
Do you love me
When the world is overwhelming
When I'm selfish, pessimistic
And push you away
As long as we find each other
Somewhere in the middle of the story
As long as we find each other
Somewhere in the middle

Cleaning My House
03:58
|
|||
Looked around my head, what a mess
All the plants are dead, all the guests left
Their cans on the floor
The mice have explored
There's holes in the sheets
The oven is beeping, shut up
My words are syrup dripping on my lap
As I walk the dust sticks to my back
The mirrors are streaked
With months of defeat
The tables are flipped
There's nothing to eat, where to start
Guess I'm cleaning my house
Rearranging without any help
Oh it's time that I cleaned up my house
It's for me, not for anyone else
Mmm hmm
How long have I been living like this?
I cannot love when these demons exist
Eating crumbs off the bed
Twisting things I said
Telling me lies, tucking me in at night
Sometimes no one will ask where you've been
People change without your permission
Your true friends will know
Trust them to show
They want you to win
To shed your old skin 'cause you must
So I'm cleaning my house
Rearranging without any help
Oh it's time that I cleaned up my house
It's for me, not for anyone else
And the sun will come streaking through my shiny windows
And you will come by and we'll go see a show
And there's laughter within all the pain
And there's water inside of the rain
So I'm cleaning my house
Rearranging without any help
Oh it's time that I cleaned up my house
It's for me, not for anyone else

Stay Alive
04:20
|
|||
When you leave, you don't say goodbye
Slowly squeezed me out with a vice
Oh the void is vast and deep
How can we ever be complete?
Oh without the feathers, pillows flatten
My head sleeps on rocks
We have to stay alive
They don't tell me why
Come back to me, come back to me
I need you on the ground
Come on girl, we've got work to do
So many people who love you and need you too
Last time you left, I shut it all down
The factory was closed 'cause you weren't around
I felt you sink through me, to the ground beneath
Was dirty, sick and empty
We have to stay alive
They don't tell me why
Come back to me, come back to me
I need you on the ground
Don't go under
Wait, come back to me
Oh remember
When we were lighter
Can't live without you light
Can't live without you light
Come back to me, come back to me
I need you on the ground
We have to stay alive
If you don't, please tell me why
Come back to me, come back to me
I need you on the ground
Don't go under
Wait, come back to me
Oh remember
When we were lighter

Half A Century
02:15
|
|||
All the things you've seen
In half a century
Everywhere you've been
All the dreams you've dreamed
Everyone you've loved
All the things you've learned
The ways you've grown
Your beautiful soul
Stopping by the side
Wisconsin County Highway
So you can listen close
To a bird on a wire
To see what's up ahead
What's around the bend
Stay until the sun sets
On your beautiful soul
Beautiful soul
Every day I choose
To spend my time with you
And your beautiful soul
We are bound together by something we can't see
I'll share my life with you if you share yours with me
Just the way you are, the ways you make me crazy
That's just the way I want you
Your beautiful soul

Cocobee
02:41
|
|||
You sit on my shoulder like a parrot
When my soul is broken you repair it
Shining golden green, your eyes are like the sea
Someday you'll be gone and I can't bear it
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Waking up and you are warm against me
Tucked into the pocket of my bent knee
Or heavy on my chest, soothing me to rest
Settle in the space around me gently
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Scratching up the furniture I scold you
Three months in with us you let me hold you
You press your head to mine, I wish I could stop time
The world has gone to hell but no one told you
Cocobee
Cocobee
Cocobee
Cocobee
Cocobee
You're a cat

Grace
02:35
|
|||
Build yourself a home
In the center of your soul
Don't make a sound
Give yourself a name
That only you can say
Don't write it down
Stay quiet, keep your head up
Find stillness, don't get upset
Give yourself some time
To empty out your mind
Of what you knew
See yourself with grace
Give yourself some space
To be afraid
I don't need to understand
I remember all the times I tried
I don't need to understand
I remember all the times I tried

Possum in the Kitchen
01:59
|
|||
My honey loves the wildlife 'round our house
A love for animals is quite attractive in a spouse
But lately it's been getting kind of hard
'Cause there's critters moving in here and not staying in the yard
There's a squirrel in the basement digging in the laundry
Mice in the rice in the cupboard
There's a mole in the hole in the old tile floor
And a finch made a nest in the dishes
There's a fox in the box of magazines
And a crow on top of the fridge
And a possum in the kitchen sitting in the baby's highchair
At first it was a mess and quite alarming
But soon enough my heart got soft and now I find it charming
At least they are not typical as pets
We love them like our family and keep all we can get
There's a turtle in the sink in the bathroom
And a snail made a trail on the counter
There's a rabbit in the back of the spice rack
And a robin on a perch in the closet
There's a chipmunk in my grandad's trunk
There's a toad in the sodastream
There's a bat in the air wearing underwear
And a turkey in the tub
There's a squirrel in the basement digging in the laundry
Mice in the rice in the cupboard
There's a mole in the hole in the old tile floor
And a finch made a nest in the dishes
There's a fox in the box of magazines
And a crow on top of the fridge
And a possum in the kitchen sitting in the baby's highchair
There's a beetle in the cheesecurds
Skunk in the truck bed
Badger in the hamper
Moth in the soup broth
Frogs in the crocs and
Deer in the beerkeg
Llama in the sauna
Sparrow on the stairs
And a possum in the kitchen sitting in the baby's highchair
