Sky is Waiting 03:46
lyrics

I’m at the door Do you want to know The things I saw Do you want to know The things I know Bleed it out Riot of toxins Down to the earth I saw the moon In a blue sky I saw the moon And I knew No one can take The sky Be brave tonight Look up Don’t you settle into Despair Don’t you know Look up Look up tonight I’ll see it with you

Do I dare- I’ve been here for years I want more I- You were my friend; You were my enemy I was born out of you Dust to dust, rise Inside- You wanted more You wanted more So let’s give it To you- I was born daughter I was born knotted so I’ve unraveled I can’t believe you’re gone Dust to dust, rise

Call My Bluff 02:05
lyrics

Is it better late than never? I wanted you to call my bluff I waited for you to say don't go I waited and then I left I'm sorry I expected you To feel the way I wanted you to The way I thought that love should feel Instead of accepting what you felt I pick apart all the ways that I done you wrong There are so many ways I done you wrong I slept beside you Thinking I knew your dreams Thinking I could decipher All your schemes...

Time is Forward 02:06
lyrics

I race across the field With my sister Down the hill Can we go back To the magic Of the trees Blowing in the breeze I knew where to press I knew all the trees dressed In their leaves We got our maple Can I go back To The snow is in our hearts As we built snow forts Drank spiced cider Laughed and grinned Then, with love Now, I am my own best friend

Chronically Yours 03:32
lyrics

Falling apart I’ll keep it to myself I don’t want to be a burden But I am It’s hard to know Hard to feel My brain in its liquid suffocates The sun sets in Someone else’s eyes I saw myself out Don’t stop you, Living your dreams I’m behind you Though I swallow screams cause I’m in pain It’s On fire Mind’s on fire Ribs on fire Hips on fire There is not A shot for this You don’t need to Waste away too It’s okay to feel Drained Inside and out It draws against the glass Am I an aimless Stone in the end Too thick to throw in A skip It’s coming in the water Ask the doctors They don’t know So can’t I

Only Now 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Bid adieu to the old me today Bid adieu to my old dreams Cut through seams There is no use living in memory There is only here and now And now I must find myself A new ground Do I dare rise Brave from my lair for I am scared To the one I loved, my wound, I lost I loved Through the lens of time and dream I know I caused pain Forgive me You are free to fly Hey don’t delay Look up Please There’s the sky There is no use looking back There is no use; it’s in the past There’s only now There’s only

Show Me Where 02:49

How soon Do you want me I will come Knock at your door I slip off my coat Inside The light is on And you can see all that I've done wrong Oh Turn again to the light adored one Tonight we can throw Away the Poetry and pretense Just let me see you See me Ask and I will answer yes yes yes yes yes It's harder to not tell you How I feel

Fallen Out 02:59
lyrics
buy track
How have I changed Let me count the ways All the hair on my head Is new All that you held in your Hands I threw Down the drain That is where our Love decayed No one is asking who Did what No one cares Get it through your head No one cares I did it I did something- I drank until I- Light turned on, Light up all the Ways and all The points where I went wrong Don't mind me Don't mind They can't deny Your suffering now They can say Who did it wrong Cause it doesn't cost Them a thing It's not their ring Make another parody of me

How i Change 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Quickly now, Get the gun Get it now The fight is soon Quickly now, Don’t waste a second To run I wasn’t born of this Culture I wasn’t born on a sunny day So what do you know? David saw her bathing Didn’t matter if she had a man Didn’t matter what she meant Where is my giant now Strike him down I am Vashti Bathed in a king’s lies Spent too much time As a palace fixture to Fix upon my face a smile For the court to see Please, Just subjugate me (Here comes Mordecai To sell her out) There is always someone younger There is always someone younger Waiting to take my place Waiting to take my fate Jealousy has given way to empathy They don’t know This is how I change This is how I change This is why I carved myself from Their kingdom This is why I changed

Jaded, but With Hope 01:57
lyrics
buy track
I felt old when I was young. Now I feel not old Just weary of myself, And how I’ve stumbled Through the garden Tripping over ivy, roses, Fresh green things that Left me jaded- and When I screamed at You back then that No one had hurt Me worse; I know Now the blade I Twisted, knowing you Knew what came before And I didn’t mean It, darling, not in The way I fear You took it to mean- I meant how can I love you so, in This way that burns Through my chest, And not feel the Way you felt Within me, no, I always held That tourniquet You tied off Tightly, I couldn’t Face my blood And I am the One long scabbed And scarred over, It’s nothing, No great mystery Poured out I was waiting For a declaration And I can wait Til my dying Day, my chest Still burns, my Darling, the Fire rages on.

Theatre of Days 02:54

Show me your hand Tell me again Everything will be alright Yeah! wow... I bought a new identity From an auction Look at me I have all the right Feathers now Though they said I'm Much too theatrical Like a doll I went downtown I had every intention Of meeting that man But I found an old flame Now I'm burning Preferring nobody to tell me You've seen too many men You are a serial monogamist

Heart's Not Open 02:47
lyrics

Because I didn’t adhere To their pain- I did me a favour And closed the door They say my heart Isn’t open My heart isn’t open But it has a lock But it has a code But it hasn’t eroded- If you are one who practices kindness Turn If you are one who practices hope Turn If you are one who practices adventures Then Turn
