Roaring & Wild 03:18
lyrics

Your voice carried me to bed like I was a child The steps creaked like they always do The rivers were roaring, the forests were wild The floor was as cold as the morning dew The sky, it turned grey, and then fell down Covered up every part of me Now my thoughts are roaring and my actions are wild If something is lost was it ever true? I move through this house like a ghost now Slower than the paint peels off the walls There’s still a dull roaring, but now life’s pretty mild From time to time I still hear your call Oh sometimes I still hear your call

Take Care 04:38
lyrics

Well I tried my best to please you Did everything I could I tried my best to make you feel The way I thought you should I acted out in anger I acted out in fear I acted out words in my head That I hoped to hear Oh I just wanted you to love me Oh I was young, but now I’m not Oh I needed taking care of me But now you need taking care of I remember years ago So many words you said So many words planted like seeds Deep inside my head And my thoughts grew unruly How they grew fast and strong I’ve had to do much pruning To become who I’ve become Oh I just wanted you to love me Oh I was young, but now I’m not Oh I needed talking care of me But now you need taking care of Now time has worn you down And it’s worn me down too Time can be a burden And time can carry you We close our eyes at sundown And open them at day Tell me where’d you go to I’ll meet you there someday Oh I just wanted you to love me Oh I was young, but now I’m not Oh I needed taking care of me But now it’s you I take care of Yes now it’s you I take care of

Salt of The Earth 04:21
lyrics
buy track
The sidewalk is covered in cracks The weeds are slowly taking it back I can feel it under my skin I wasn’t listening, but now I am Pokeweed is everywhere You say you don’t mind it, you say you don’t care I sweat through my shirt The salt of our bodies and the salt of the earth The songs of so many birds But sung only by starlings, they sing verse after verse There’s so much movement underground If I stop to listen, I might hear the sound

Familiar Tongue 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Far away I am In some distant land Feel the weight Head in my hands The tired day ends A ship in the sand The tree never bends And all of this time Was it ever really mine? Peacefully goes the breeze I roll up my sleeves Hear the words Familiar tongue The ashes are young A new day’s begun The warmth of the sun And all of this time Was never really mine And all of this time I learned to let it go by I learned to let it go by

Sometimes 03:34
lyrics

Oh how I know Sometimes you don’t Wanna move at all You’ve been swallowed whole I know sometimes You think the crying Will never stop You’re feeling all alone And it’s so hard It’s so hard Just to be Sometimes I can’t Sometimes I can’t Say a thing Put on your mask That pretty mask Can’t even see the string What a peculiar thing Your fingers dance Inside your hands Like you’re typing a story Won’t you read it to me And it’s so hard It’s so hard Just to be Sometimes I can’t Sometimes I can’t Say a thing Close your eyes Rest your head Hear these words Hear them said You are loved You are love You I love You are loved

Shrinking 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I wish I could recall A time I didn’t feel so small Oh how I wanted to grow big But I keep shrinking, I keep shrinking I’d flatten my back against the wall As mother would measure how I was tall The world seemed big and it seemed small And I hardly remember it at all Sometimes I wish we could go back to those days Looking down some old dirt path, I strayed away Some people come, some people go Some days feel fast, and others slow Well the more I learn the less I know Is it the world changing or is it myself? From my fingertips to the ends of my toes The distance far and yet so close Well now all I know is that I know Nothing at all Sometimes we dream of days gone by and those that passed our way We try our best to not be sad, just take it day by day

Lie here with me In this circle of trees Laughing Like water falling To be In this world Living I do believe We will find what we need Exulting In the rain falling To be In this world Living
