I have a tendency to punish myself for going through tough things, i.e., "It's my fault I'm lonely. If only I was better, then I wouldn't be lonely." There's no need to do that! We can be gentle with ourselves no matter the situation.

Lyrics:

Cooped up in my apartment, thinking about my loneliness
So I remind myself that I'm not the only one like this
My body's wrapped in blankets, but my mind is tangled up in string
Oh I remind myself, it's ok to be lonely

Yearning for connection, wondering what the hell is happiness
Oh I remind myself that we are all together in this
Feeling guilt for what I'm feeling, oh if only I could be somebody else
Oh I remind myself, it's ok to be lonely like me

It's ok to be lonely like me
It's ok to be lonely, it's ok to be lonely

Endless rumination, am I lost in craziness?
So I remind myself that we've all got to fight to exist
Searching for the truth, I both do and do not want to lose control
I remind myself, it's ok to be lonely

Feels like my skin is peeling, and I'm thinking maybe I am not that strong
My thoughts are scattered everywhere, but I'm hoping it won't be that way too long
So much I can't remember, but I keep on holding on as best I can
As I remind myself, it's ok to be lonely like me

It's ok to be lonely, like me
It's ok to be lonely, it's ok to be lonely
It's ok to be lonely
It's ok to be lonely, it's ok to be lonely

It's Ok To Be Lonely

This one speaks for itself I think.

Lyrics:

No, I don't want to fight
Cause I don't have much time, and I don't have much bite
And I'm not too embarrassed to sing lullabies
I want that whisper love

Oh I have said my goodbyes
With scars on my soul and endless tears in my eyes
But life is far too short to leave the whole world behind
I want that whisper love

I want that whisper love, want you to lay down beside me
I want to tell you everything that I know in my heart
I want to help you to feel safe if you'd just let me try
I want that whisper love

Babe, oh you're too far away
But I'll try to be brave 'cause I don't need to be saved
No all I want is you I swear I won't misbehave
I want that whisper love

Whisper, we can stay here a while
Won't you whisper, tell yourself to me child
You can whisper, we can whisper, whisper our love

Whisper, put my trust in your hands
We can whisper, like the room never ends
We can whisper, oh let's whisper, whisper our love

I want that whisper love, want you to lay down beside me
Want you to tell me everything that you know in your heart
I want you to help me to feel safe, oh I would let you try
I want that whisper love
I want that whisper love
That whisper love

Whisper Love

A new version:

Lyrics:

My friend the robin is whistling away
We aint goin, we aint goin away
His friend the raven is joining in to say
We aint goin, we aint goin away

Well we've been here way too long
We are here to stay
We aint goin, we aint goin away

Our friend the falcon is showing us the way
We aint goin, we aint goin away
Her friend the owl is closing out the day
We aint goin, we aint goin away

Well we all have wings to fly
But that's no reason why
That we can't stay here, cause we aint goin away

Your friend the sparrow is coming out to play
Singing we aint goin, we aint goin away

Well we all are different colors, and we all play different roles
Some of us have feathers, but all of us have soul
And if you cut us, then we bleed
And it's plain for all to see
We aint goin, we aint goin
We aint goin, we aint goin
We aint goin, we aint goin away

We aint goin away
Not tomorrow or today
We aint goin, we aint goin away

We Aint Goin Away

Lyrics:

How much do you love me babe?
I'd say more than life itself
Are you sure you're talking about me, baby?
I look around I don't see anybody else

Oh love, love can be tender
Losing then becomes your greatest fear
But this love, babe, it aint no ender
All that I could ever want is for you to be near

How much do you love me babe?
I'd say more than life itself
Are you sure you're talking about me, baby?
I look around I don't see anybody else

And love, love can be scary
When you find someone who seems to know your thoughts
But hold on, it's also amazing
All the sharpness in the world becoming soft

How much do you love me babe?
I'd say more than life itself
Are you sure you're talking about me, baby?
I look around I don't see anybody else

Love, love's a journey to find someone you want to keep you warm
I know love's a journey to keep you warm
To keep you warm, to keep you warm
All I want is to keep you warm
All I want is to keep you warm

How much do you love me babe?
I'd say more than life itself
Are you sure you're talking about me, baby?
I look around I don't see anybody else
I look around I don't see anybody else
I look around I don't see anybody else

I Don't See Anybody Else

Journey With You

This is the story of Ricardo and Stacy
The girl with tattoos on her arms that said crazy
Of war-wounded Indians, their mothers and babies
Ricardo said to himself, maybe, just maybe

He walked up to her, she said let's go outside
If you blend with the night then let's go for a ride
To the place where the men wear shadows in their eyes
And I am the queen and you are my bride

(Scat)

Well the men in white lipstick, they danced on the stage
Peering through eyeholes weathered and sage
That's not rage, bellowed Stacy, so don't be afraid
It's god's true expression, colored and vague

So they danced and they danced and, oh, danced some more
Writhing and seizing their limbs on the floor
Hearts palpitating, gently masturbating
Ricardo and Stacy inflating, inflating

(Sex sounds)

She said, if you want love then just stick to the streets
Those West Indian women move more than their feet
Those Dominican Papis, escuchame mami
Bailemos juntos bachata mi baby

But I'll tell you something if you're looking for soul
Well you should know baby that I won't make you whole
I'm as free as an eagle, I stick to the sky
And you should feel lucky just to wave me goodbye

Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye...

Zach Borenstein's Album

Ricardo and Stacy

I still believe
In love at least in theory
It is pure, oh so sweet
A never-ending treat
For you, and in theory for me

I can imagine him standing there
Thoughts flowing forth from the microphone
Like a bird, those mere words
Could change a soul if it heard
Spread its wings, and drift off to the sky

One day I'll walk through an open field
And drop my knees to the ground
I feel the warm tears fall down my face
And shift my gaze to the clouds
Scream, with all of my might, I'll scream that
I'll always still believe
In love
In theory

Always I see their faces
As they call, reaching out to their mothers
Are we blind? Are we sure? 
Should we think about this some more?
Why, why, why, why
This continues to be?

One day I'll climb to the mountaintop
And dig my fist in the snow
I'll watch my breath as it turns to mist
And dissipates into the glow
Scream, with all of my might, I'll scream that
I'll always still believe
In love
In theory

Scream, I will scream
Has there every been anything more worth screaming for?
Love, not a dream
It is all that my sered heart keeps beating for
Live, of will we find
That we're all on this strange team together?
In theory
Shouldn't it be easy?

One day I'll walk on the oceanside
And wiggle my toes in the sand
I'll let the warm breeze crawl down my neck
Thinking I might understand
Whisper aloud and set free that I will
Always still believe
In love...

Love In Theory

I know that you're dying, I'm dying right back
I see your heart is crying so take off that mask
Sometimes it seems like flying's an impossible task
Just promise you'll be trying, that's all I ask

Hold my hand tighter, fight through that pain
I know your every fiber is feeling insane
It's ok to admit it, say you're afraid
We'll only hold you tighter, we ain't goin' away

And it may seem like everyone you've ever loved
Is better off when you're not there
Well you're wrong and you should know that
There is beauty in the world to share

Hold your head higher, 'cause you've come this far
No one can tell you you're not who you are
All those past failures, they've left some scars
But scars are only lessons you've got to move on

And it may seem like there is no one there to catch you
If you fall will you be found?
Well you know that there is only one direction left to go
From the ground

I know that you're dying, I'm dying right back
I see your heart is crying, so take off that mask
Sometimes it feels like flying's an impossible task
Just promise you'll be trying, that's all I ask
That's all I ask, that's all I ask
