Who here says she can't do that?
You call on boys more than the girls
Performance stranded by your expectations
Leaves you feeling justified
What will you do if she fulfills your lies?
What will you do if she don't?
All call, we're on life support
The obscured eye stereotypes
Wipe the muddled from off your eyes
And just talk right to me
Let's, let us rehumanize
Who here says he can't go there?
unwelcome signs fill up the air
Performance stranded by your unearned privilege
Leave me feelin' minoritized
All call my friends
Into the fire will make us stronger
Let's talk my friend
Into this fire, it makes me stronger
Make us stronger
I don't want to
Into this fire will keep us learning
But I just have to
I don't want
Into fire

Juno says to me
"I think I want another kid
Four just ain't enough"
She's sitting in a tree
She's filled with apathy
She wonders when her time will come
There's never the money to pay the rent
There's always something going down
And any time she sits beneath the setting sun
She knows it's gonna catch her in her head
In her head
Juno's always gone
Whenever something needs done
There's never time enough
And Juno wonders why
Every time she cries
She has to cry alone
Juno, she's gone
Juno, she's free
Juno says to me

It's been too long since I put any pictures on the wall
They're cold and white
Waiting for a life to be applied
And on a shelf are pictures of some people that I know well
And underneath
A lifetime of books that I will never read
I've built my life on lies that I tell myself at night just to help me sleep
I struggle with these words
They start to sound absurd
And I wonder if I should close my eyes and sleep
And I've made my peace and I've said my grace
I hear my thoughts of treason calling back to me
And I've seen this place for too many days
I'm spending all the seasons to forget a name

Raise Them Bones

There's a song in my heart with words that I don't know
That I first heard sung a long time ago
It comes in the darkness of shadow and soul
From a man sent in exile, broken and alone
The movements and melodies are felt more than heard
And they float through the air with a certain allure
There's a pleading and yearning for some kind of peace
But who knows what he'll do if he gets his release?
What should I do with this?
I don't know...
When the darkness inside puts the light on the run
You can duck, you can hide, but it's never enough
The more that you fight, the more that you're done
So just lie down and wait to be found by the sun

Our Love

Star bright, brightest star I see tonight
Wish I may have this girl I dream tonight
Empty bed lost adrift at sea you know
Hoping for my boy to accompany me ashore
And if I started at you hanging on that wall
Darling would you come and play
I will be back my love
This time will make my love
Lonely times they make us wait
For the thing we truly crave
Lonely days I feel your my best friend some times
You're in my life more than all those men with ties
Oh lord, when's that girl gonna come back home
In my life, all that's well that's left alone
Feeling so afraid of course
Afraid to waste away alone (afraid to wake alone)
A screaming selfish kind of love
For that flavor and that touch
And if I scared the truth maybe (baby), maybe it would go away
I will be back our love
This time will make our love
Lonely times can make us wake
For the love that liberates

Moody Rain

Wake up staring out into a sea of loneliness
A mass of deep, dark blue beset by acceptanceless
I'm here waiting for forever rains to just desist
Oh, don't you know I'll feel as blue when the sunshine comes on through?
LOVE
Stare inside and pull on endless handkerchief
Useless thoughts don't wipe the tear from my crying kid
Thinking molds constrained by established neural lines
Oh, don't you know I'll feel as blue when the sunshine comes on through?
LOVE
