"Here comes the fear-killer.
Tall order-
Please, pardon my desire
I was asked to garden this fire.
Here comes the fear-killer
Like tenderness written in steel.
They expect your calloused hands to hold
An invitation for them."

Tall Order

"Oh my words 
Treat my intentions right
We may only
Have the night.
... Choose your weapon
Be it soft or be it smooth
I heard that soft less often lose.
My soft weapon
a hard thing does hold -
Like a Bosom holds its Bone.
Oh like a Bosom holds its Bone."

Recorded, Mixed by Maren.
Clarinet and Bari Uke by Maren.

"Your guilt is sweet for no one but you
Do you really wanna carry that sugar?

Your guilt is sweet for no one but you."

Cast

"You say that I love death, I say you love Ivory
You think are big n scary, I know your Mama does your laundry,
Preen your prime, predict my crime, I'll steal your home if you steal mine
When your moon is full of craters, time to be your own goddamn creator.

Ain't nothin' ever enough
Ain't nothin' ever enough
Ain't nothin, ain't nothin' ain't nothin'
Ain't nothin, ain't nothin' ain't nothin'
Ain't nothin'."

Ivory

"There is a story about a body
I keep it in my head
There is a story about my family
It wakes up when I go to bed

Though my name it may crown me or it may haunt me
It can't tell you what I'm not yet
Naming
It's a body for your meaning
Naming
It's a body for your meaning

Oh I saw the sun once
on the day that never-enough, it was enough
Yes I saw the sun once
on the day that never enough it was enough!"

Naming

SIDE B of 7" Record.
Persuasive love song from a demon to its human.

"I brought you the pain
that was the hard thing you scraped
your blade on 
I kept you sharp
and dangerous
So don't you cry
Won't you cry
the day that your demon says
goodbye
So don't you cry
Won't you cry
It was you who said you wanted 
a stable life.

So don't you cry/won't you cry
Your reasons, they grow wide,
you let yourself be Pitified
Don't you cry/Won't you cry
Your excuses, they grow nothing
but tired.
Don't you cry/Won't you cry
It was you who said you wanted
a stable life

You let yourself be 
Pitified."

Petrichor

(in a dream, present self meeting child self)

"All the time that you thought it could wait
the thing you love was escapin' right out the back gate
And all the time that you thought you just waste
you're actually building a throne for the thing that you hate."

"A-a-a-all-ll the things you thought I wasn't capable of
A-a-a-all-ll the things I thought I wasn't capable of."
