A song of loss, grief, and healing. 
Lyrics:
When all the trees that stand guard 'round your home
Weather winter after winter by your side
When all the rings to count the years increase 
You learn to take their whispered warnings all in stride

Surrounded by the loved ones in your life
just like branches, leaves, and flowers standing witness
all shaking with the timbre of your breath
they will be crying for you, shattering the stillness

Leave it behind
like the imprints of your hand there on the window
Just let it lie
all the love you gifted to a lonely world

Through storm and sun your roots will all remain
like a quietly inviting reverie
though love keeps moving on, you're never gone
When the wheel of life resumes
there will be flowers yet to bloom 
there are flowers yet to bloom on fallen trees

Flowers to Bloom

Love Has Left Your Eyes

This song was loosely inspired by Dear Prudence by The Beatles, I wanted to tell the sadder, realer side of that song's moment. Here are the lyrics:

Catalina takes her face in her hands 
oh god she says, baby, we speak in anagrams
summer's left me with a cigarette
hole burned in my sleeve and shoes all full of sand

She lives in fear of losing hold 
even scars fade when they're old
nothing sticks around for 

Catalina in the clouds
shooting headlong down a wave of ice in her veins 
ballerina scrapes the ground 
after years of this, it's all kinda the same 

Catalina shuts the door in the dark 
oh god she cant breathe, she staggers to the park  
under the lamppost by the leafy lake 
she pierces her arm and feels the day depart

she walks on water in her sleep
far away her broken promises
dream about her

Catalina in the clouds
shooting headlong down a wave of ice in her veins 
ballerina scrapes the ground 
after years of this, it's all kinda the same

Catalina In The Clouds (rough draft)

Lyrics:

If I were 
a friend of yours
I'd surely say 
take your time don't rush
take your time don't rush 
If you'd seen 
everyone I've been
before this 
You'd be thinking twice
you'd be thinking twice

It can't be helped 
I'm a creature of habit 
maybe you 
can rein me in 
rein me in 

It can't be helped 
I'm a creature of habit 
I can change 
change

If you looked
down a hole in the sidewalk
And you saw me
would you jump right in 
would you jump right in 

Oooooo
I stalk the same streets every night
Never thought I'd want to stay inside
But you're changing my mind

It can't be helped 
I'm a creature of habit 
maybe you 
can rein me in 
rein me in 

It can't be helped 
I'm a creature of habit 
I can change 
I can change
I can change
I can change

Echo Chamber

This song is a loving warning. It's a hopeful but realistic look in the mirror. It's full of little contradictions like that.
