losing you (live from the barn)

Mother, a prayer without words spoken, Tears of joy and pain, a heart awoken. She prays with a soul both deep and wide, For strength and patience, her constant guide.

LYRICS:
"We called it love, but we were too broken. From our pasts and ancestors unspoken. No, it wasn't fair, what you did to me. You left me abandoned, don't you see? I was isolated at my weakest. You twisted my words. You broke my heart. You called me crazy. And when I reached for your hand, you put me in chains. Can we break we break this cycle? Can we break this cycle? Can we break this cycle? And move on from here?"

Talise Waya - Can We Break This Cycle?

After doing extensive research into my ancestry I composed this song. I am a Native American Mixed American Mutt. (Mutt is a play on how everyone calls females bitches.) Talise translates to "beautiful waters" from the Haudenosaunee Language and Waya means "wolf" in Cherokee language. (My children have Cherokee ancestors.) So my artist name is for our Native American Ancestors. The lyrics in the song "Epigenetic is strange," refers  to "While where you live doesn't change your DNA sequence (the genes themselves), it can affect how those genes are expressed, which is known as epigenetics. This means your environment can influence whether certain genes are turned on or off, impacting your health and traits." I developed an autoimmune disease living in the heartland and I have done research on why that would happen. It the stress of being away from coastal regions where I am from and where my ancestor are from. 
LYRICS:
I was born near the coast
Near the ocean
And I've been stuck in the heartland for over a decade
I've been through hell and back
The heartland has no heart

[Verse 1]
I was born near the coast
Near the ocean
And I've been stuck in the heartland for over a decade
I am a mixed American mutt
My oldest ancestors are Native American Mohawk
We were here before the birth of the Constitution
White
Feather
I have ancestors that were prisoners of war
From the Highlands
Ross
I have ancestors that were witches
I have ancestors that helped with the Underground Railroad
Freeing slaves
I have ancestors that were royalty
I have ancestors that were immigrants from Sicily with roots reaching back to Africa
I have ancestors from Europe and Asia that I don't know much about
I have ancestors from the Holy Lands that are constantly in war
I'm a mixed American mutt
Epigenetics is strange
And I'm trying to comprehend this
I was born near the coast
Near the ocean
And I've been stuck in the heartland for over a decade
I've been through hell and back
The heartland has no heart

i’m sorry but your story isn’t adding up
think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth sHut
so i won’t testify to crimes you’re keepin score of
why don’t you throw me to the wolves i thought you were one

you were standing there like an angry god
counting out my sins just to cross them off
sAying that my tongue was too loud to trust
and that my blood couldn’t keep you

my dear 
you’re not so innocent
you’re fooling heaven’s gates
so you won’t have to change
you’re no saint, you’re no savior 

your revelations don’t look nothin like the Pictures
you read between the lines and don’t stick to the scriPtures
ou only follow rules if others follow with ya
(that doesn’t sound too holy, only plaYing victim)

you were standing there like an angry god
counting out my sins just to cross them off
saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
and that my Blood couldn’t keep you

my dear
you’re not so innocent
your fooling heaven’s gates
so you won’t have to change
you’re no saInt
you’Re no savior

so keep your judgemenT
for someone else i’ve had enougH
and keep your juDgement
for someone else i’ve hAd enough
so keep your judgement for someone else i’ve had enough
and keep your judgement for someone else i’ve had enough

mY dear 
you’re not so innocent
you’re fooling heaven’s gates
so you won’t have to change
you’re no saint, you’re no savior

Even though you're gone
