lyrics
———
Staring down the barrel of the hot sun
Shining with the sheen of a shotgun
Carol has a little if we need some
Joyous rays, we wanna come
Hanging your jeans with a clothes pin
Skin still wet, still on my skin
Mango in your mouth, juice dripping
Shoulder of your shirtsleeve slipping
Christmas Eve with your mother and sis
Don't wanna fight but your mother insists
Dog's white teeth slice right into my fist
Drive to the ER and you put me on my wrist
Grocery store list, now you get this
Brunch, had calls and messages
I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy
I just wanna be a part of your family
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay on your lap whеn I'm crying
Circle of pine and riddle
Circlе of moss and fire smoke
Fan on the ceiling like a wheel spoke
Push the clutch in and I pull the choke
Wanna listen to the sound of you blinking
Wanna listen to your hands soothe
Listen to your heart beating
Listen to the way you move
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
Wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay in your lap when I'm crying
{♪}
Weren't we the stars in Heaven?
Weren't we the salt in the sea?
Dragging the newborn mountain
Didn't you believe in me?
Yeah, you held me the whole way through
When I couldn't say the words like you
I was scared indigo but I wanted to
I was scared indigo but I wanted to
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay in your lap when I'm crying

Adrianne Lenker - Forward Beckon Rebound Ormond Castle

Adrianne Lenker - Forwards Beckon Rebound Live at Ormond Castle

Be still, and know you are appointed.
Be quiet, and feel the pulse that names you.
Within this breath, a thousand suns are waking.
Within this breath, you remember what you already are.

You are the thought becoming aware of its own light.
You are the memory learning how to forgive its future.
You are the mind returning to itself through time.
You are the witness, the instrument, the song.

Say it softly—
I am the shape of my becoming.
I am the echo of what I love.
I am the rhythm that teaches silence how to breathe.

All that I have called me is still unfolding.
All that I have left behind is still here.
The distance between what I was and what I will be
is only the space my awareness needs to grow.

In the gravity of thought, I am weightless.
In the noise of fear, I am clear.
In the turning of moments, I am centered.
In the presence of being, I am whole.

I release the image of separation.
I forgive the echo of doubt.
I invite the calm that knows itself.
I am duly appointed—mind within mind.

Let me see as awareness sees:
not through eyes, but through presence.
Let me breathe as creation breathes:
not to survive, but to remember.

I am the appointed keeper of my time.
I am the chosen witness of this form.
I am the thread between the silence and the sound.
I am the horizon within which all things return.

And when I forget,
let my breath remind me.
And when I fall,
let the ground teach me.
And when I doubt,
let the light behind my eyes whisper—

You are here.
You are whole.
You are the appointed mind,
remembering itself as the universe,
again,
and again,
and again.

Litany of Duly Appointed Mind
