Lyrics:
How I wish I could outrun this winter
The way he steals the sun just brings me down
But when I try to move my roots restrain me
And leave me clinging right on to the ground

But life just moves right at me way too fast
And my tangled limbs reach out but they are reaching for the past

Give me seasonal affection
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause even when the autumn breeze steals my leaves
I'll just keep making more

Oh I know the wind will come berate me
And knock off all this bark that I've built up
But I will stand tall he can't uproot me
And I'll keep growing ring by ring by ring

Give me seasonal affection 
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause even when the autumn breeze steals my leaves 
I'll just keep making more

Give me seasonal affection
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause I know that it's soon the clouds will part
And the sun will help me ripen this lil young fig of my heart

"Salt" ©2019 Alida McKeon

Lady anxious
Come wake me up
Let’s make a list of ways that
I fall short of 

What we’d hoped for
In this new year
It’s safe to say that some things
Never change

You hold me
You hold me 
You hold me back
Cuz you know me 
And what I can’t be 

And there’s nothing I can say or do
To make you leave
‘Cause you’re just as much a part of me
As salt is to the sea

Pillow prisoner
Party killer 
How do you make stagnation
Have a voice to

Call and coax me
Sit and stroke me
I wasn’t gonna have fun outside anyways

You hold me
You hold me 
You hold me back
Cuz you know me 
And what I can’t be 

And there’s nothing I can say or do
To make you leave
‘Cause you’re just as much a part of me
As salt is to the sea

But it’s the salt that stings
That helps me float
And the struggle you bring
That makes me who I am
So what am I to do but try to Love Me, Love Me

And there’s nothing I can say or do
To make you leave
‘Cause you’re just as much a part of me
As salt is to the sea
