As usual, don't consider this finished- my recording abilities are garbage and I tried to put more melodica in there, but I'm still not great on that thing. This is it for now. 

LYRICS:
You never stay for a long time
Sometimes you’ve never been gone at all
The day you fell and your skin turned to sky
Well you got up from that stretcher
Escaped someplace with warmer weather
To escape the love
You could not return 

Your sisters knew that she could not continue to move you
Your heart was a faulty machine
Always back in that lonely bed
You held little birds in your workman’s gloves
Because a mother won’t love that which is like a stranger

You loved her for nine months
Then you stopped meeting her eye
She let you lie with her, but in the morning you were still gone
She pleaded with her lips shut tight
And the night you left something began to resurface inside
I saw you raise your hand 
And strike her 
She had the face of one who’d hidden herself away
You didn’t care
Sometimes you’ve never been gone at all


You Never Stay

I Saw You Move And I Heard You Talk And Breathe And I Saw Me Loving You

I am turning 26 tomorrow 
I have been changing a lot! 
Sometimes it's hard
But it feels good- I am relearning how to be open, how to be in love with the world in which I'm living, the body in which I'm experiencing.
My music has changed- it's good, I still think, to bring awareness to pain, but I realized I had boxed myself in to only writing about pain. This song, this little prayer, is part of my movement to honoring joy and pleasure in equal if not greater measure. 
I am turning 26 and I am turning every day to the child in me, who knew so much, before words and names got in the way
