pure pleasure

It's felt amazing to be playing guitar again and let that lead my writing process. This song is very intimate as a reflection of that groundedness, and all the rawness (pleasurable and unpleasurable) that resides there. Thank you to all who listen <3

i want you to know
where my head flows
im gonna tell you right now
its a story of love
its muddy and messy
ive been raging, i rage

im not loving all the time
but im in love with you
you press on my ripping seams
i know you taste what seeps
onto your tongue, it stains

im not afraid to be seared
by white hot love
cleanse me of deadened skin
if i sink into sand
let me rage and be born again
edges softened

keeping me smooth and tender
