Count me in I’m here to lend a hand

summer two thousand twenty

giant robot anime make me sad. super super rough draft probably my worst mix to date. vocals need a retake too. 

Baby please kill me
I want to die 
It’s a long, motionless entry
Playing out inside 
Honey I can’t breathe
My own lungs aren't mine
How desperate can one man be
To draw out the time?
But I’ll never leave
It’s so much safer inside

Open the blood vessels 
Flowing to my muscles 
Bleeding is no struggle
Easy
Drop in the air pressure
Breathing at your leisure
Choking for your pleasure
Dying
 
Brief conversations 
Leave no time for lies
If you have anymore reservations 
To personify 
Find me at the station 
Where cicadas cry 
I’ll tell you my revelation
We all have to try 
From this lofty elevation
I’ll swallow the sky 

Open the blood vessels 
Flowing to my muscles 
Bleeding is no struggle
Easy
Drop in the air pressure
Breathing at your leisure
Choking for your pleasure
Dying
Close my eyes
Nothing

Late summer day on the Cormorant Reef of Marjakari, Luvia, Western Finland. The  young birds have leaved their nests three weeks ago and are keeping flying exercises in the shallower waters of the shoreline.  The mosquitos are accompanying. 

A faint seven minutes with least motor boat rumble from the recording of nine hours.

Late Summer - 15/8/2020 - Luvia Cormorant Reef

one curtain drawn

Deep blue sea
took some time 
to complete
such design

Carefully
slow and light
placed beneath
auburn sky


Why would you even care if I would even do it
Why should I even care if you'd consider it
Why would you even care if things get complicated
Why should I even care if I won't tell you that

At their feet
standing tall
Tow'ring trees
cent'ries old

Gentle breeze
mighty storms
Roots grew deep
staying strong

I drew a map that leads to where I want us both to go
To a picture perfect paradise that our  hearts could only ever hope
We could gaze at all the stars at night if you let me I would hold 
I would hold you close
So close

Sunrise is building an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We call ourselves Sunrise because we know this dark hour in America, when fossil fuel executives and climate deniers run our government, cannot last. The sun will rise again.
We have a 4-year plan to make climate action an urgent priority in every corner of the country, expose the fossil fuel executives who have purchased politicians and blocked progress, and lift up champions who will work for the people at every level of government.
