Shipwrecked here
These waves have thrown me overboard
Restless, waiting for the voice Im longing for
beneath these waters Im still hearing its dull roar
not like before,
but it will have to do
Functioning inoperablely lately
I'm maneuvering disoriented—
Frankly, my hopes been dimly lit too long
but maybe Im not as crazy
as Ive been telling you
Follow choreography
to the steps of vulnerability
1-2-3-4-5-6
Though subdued now and no longer looming,
Though hes broken down my branches
Im still rooting
And Ill contend to bud here into blooming
Resuming
From where I first grew
Follow choreography
To the steps of vulnerability
1-2-3-4-5-6

Again
Like an ostrich hiding in a sand bed
I bury my head under
Eyes open wide, wake me up inside
so that I'm no longer
afraid to live
Sometimes my words don't come out right
and I'm speaking way too soon, trying to make it right
While I'm learning kinda late
that I guess I make mistakes
if you're willing, take and make me beautiful
again.
Scrub my heart clean to be your hands and feet
I see I'm incomplete standing
Heart hollow, now let it overgrow
let it overflow, landing on those near me

Guard Down
03:52
|
|

I flipped the switch
of what lit up my eyes
powered down, anesthetized my heart
in hopes it might survive
You gave a gift
much to my surprise
I left their house
and went to bed that night more vulnerable than I'd like
I'm found
guard down
only here
life floods my veins again
I'm found
guard down
only here
and it unnerves me to no end
I hate you
somebody tell me why
I guess it needs to surface
but in the meantime, I hope that you don't mind...
I said I hate you
now somebody tell me why
I guess it needs to surface
but in the meantime, I really hope that you don't mind

Ways We Cope
04:06
|
|
||
For sometime
I've checked emotion
keeping it in line
keeping it frozen over and confined
guarded from motion in my sanctioned mind
my sanctioned mind
Oh, the ways we cope!
(convinced we go unseen)
Oh, the ways we cope!
(unaware of our disease)
I've thrown a heap
over the well that's dug inside of me
I've tried to fill it up
I've tried to keep it from dwelling in me
quite that deep
it's far too deep
Oh, the ways we cope!
(convinced we go unseen)
Oh, the ways we cope!
(unaware of our disease)
But i can feel it coming
a distant, rising wave
that will soon reach me
Oh my, oh my
won't it be something
when we lock eyes
when I face and finally know
the one before me?

February (demo)
02:50
|
|||
Tried to find the silver-lining
Redefining, Realigning
Where to go from here (I wish I knew)
tap, tap, tap I think my watch stopped
Tossing, turning, try to sleep, but...
Dat dat dat dat dat
This arbitrary February
weather’s wearing me thin
But things once hoped for
Springtime restores
Just before I give in
And it has to come eventually
It comes eventually
Winter, she’s a fickle mistress
her white-knuckled grip is vicious
A stubborn mule that won’t give way
tap, tap, tap my heel, impatient
tick-tock, watch the dial, complacent
and spinning round and round, another day
