oh god not another demo

WORDS

i will leave my jacket sleeves rolled up
you borrowed it one evening, feeling cold
wore it into town, made it back by curfew
gave it back to me with the neatest folds

i will read your book and return it quickly
i won’t think about every note you’ve made.
read it in a day, let myself feel sick
i’ll isolate the heart with a barricade

cause i am not here to win
but i am not here to lose to you
i know that i have always been
a sleeptalker, saying names

spend all my time awake
afraid of what i’ll never tell you
scared of how i’ll always wait
for you to tear me up

for you to tear me up
for you to tear me up

i have always been so good at
conquering the bull at the carnival
never let it go, even when i should
yeah even when it’s over, dead and dull

i am not here to win
but i am not here to lose to you
i know that i have always been
a sleeptalker, saying names

spend all my time awake
afraid of what i’ll never tell you
scared of how i’ll always wait
for you to tear me up

but you can tear me up
yeah you can tear me up

i know we talked about it
i never said what i mean
wanna grow old with you
i guess that’s kind of obscene

"COUNTER/Weight 43: A Splintered Branch, A Ringing Bell Pt. 3"

There’s a little blue dot in the sky
And it’s got our name on it
With great green branches of springtime Swirling motions of peacetime love.
We’ve been waiting for a break in the line
For landing it’s people on it
I can tell you right now it’s not over
but we’ve gotta move quickly, love.

So won’t you come on back
There’s no use in doing that
We’ll find a way just take my hand
You’ve been my Weight then, and you’re my Weight now.

It’s coming on five years since we met
High above a holo-sea
If we’d given up then then we’d never 
live to fight for this, would we?

Day 3/30 Weight

Neon Bubblegum

It's a mallard
green with oil paint dripping down its cheek
down its cheek

its a bad word
clean with a garden and grandchildren at your feet
at your feet

the time you give, money too
is time they give back to you
is time they give back to you

Day 4/30 Painted Ducks

better l8r than g8r

another california summer, no different from the ones before
but a year ago i lived at night, kissed your shadow
clung to walls around you

another daydream in the vineyard, no different from the ones before
but a year ago i left my senses
threw the ring you gave me in the river

i haven't been sleeping so well
but never worse than those nights you strung me along
i know this silence so well
the night is darkest before i remember you're gone

another sprig of dying flowers, no different from the ones before
but a year ago i met your mother, wondered if you'd ever
light the lantern

another nightmare unremembered, no different from the ones before
but a year ago i woke up screaming
still you weren't there when all the street knew

DAY 4 - No Different (30 Day Song Challenge)

this will be continued but rn i am too sick to carry a darn tune!

DAY 5 - Please Don't Disappear (30 Day Song Challenge)

bluebird, you sit quietly on my shoulder
do you know the way home?

bluebird, you sing quietly on my shoulder
do you know the songs of old?

DAY 7 - Bluebird (30 Day Song Challenge)

check out that ending ;) #picardyorbust #madrigalhoe #onlychoirkidsremember


draw me in
no one says a word when the stream
cuts deep through its own stone belly

DAY 12 - Journey to the Center of the Earth (with Mirza and Maral)

springtime, for flowers
and crushes and brunches perfuming the hours 

summer, for lovers
and sweating and swimming only to discover

that fall’s when you’ll leave me 
and nothing feels joyful or happy or kind

and winter: i beg for second chances

and winter: you spare me passing glances

you’re lovely, you’re whirling your dreams all around
i wonder if those feet are friends with the ground?
your head’s in the clouds and your heart's in my hands
i’d do it all again for just one dance

Lyrics

I really hope that you love Ohio,
I know you wanted to see the trees.
Shaking colors that roll for miles,
red and golden autumn leaves.

I really hope that you love Ohio,
but do you ever miss the sea?
Running hands over sunburnt shoulders,
red and golden sun setting.

Say that it’s so.
Say that it’s not so
hard to be not home.
Say that it’s so.
Say that it’s not so
hard to be not home.

I really hope that you love Ohio
in the same way that you love me.
Shooting fireworks off on New Year’s,
red and golden glittering.

Say that it’s so.
Say that it’s not so
hard to be not home.
Say that it’s so.
Say that it’s not so
hard to be not home.
