The Conversation

I think this entire project is really about my desire to understand what the fuck is happening to myself and all of us—all our stories.


Well I heard a conversation
Outside the CVS
About a country gone to hell
High heels sound like horses
And the flag hangs in the brittle breeze
And I can’t sleep
And I can’t wake up
Carry on this disease
This disease
I can’t sleep
And I can’t wake up

Winter’s just around the corner
I’m trying hard to understand 
To understand

Sleeping in the car
In the middle of the day
I will find the goodness
And I will find my way

On occasion I will think of something new
Surprised and delighted
I might bring it to you

Today I’ll be the stranger
Swimming in your pool
And I will cross the line for you 
And I will break that golden rule

I wish your fields were mine
Then all the sunrises would be in me

Everybody wants the sun to rise
Everybody want that river to flow
Everybody wants the sun to rise
Everybody want that river to flow, flow, flow

Everybody everybody wants that sun to rise
