I am river snake
coming your way
Did I let you know let you know let you know
I saw you in the hand I bit?
You Echo and I Narcissus
You Echo and I reflect nothing real
You echo and I’m far from here
You echo and I shatter everywhere
You echo and I stench of perennial fear

Pulverized
03:34
|

Softening up like a peach
Holding me inside the leaves
Am I young enough to taste sweet?
You picked me
You picked me
From your bounty
You picked me
You picked me
From your bounty

In the Light
03:02
|

The man rolled the dice, spun a five
Black dots alive
The man spun her eyes silken white
Water and ice
The man said it’s time to die
Take my hand, we’ll dance into the night
No
She’ll stay in the light

Roller, I’ve seen you in my dreams
I’ll know you once I’ve missed everything
I didn’t see you like you thought I did
I didn’t want to, I was just a kid
What did I know then?
Nothing, nothing, nothing
What did I know then?
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Laid down in a bed of wool, you found me
I surrender to her swarms, she’s calling
Fingers first then hands then toes then nothing
To be a thunder, shrieking woman, yearning
What did I know then?
Something, something, something
What did I know then?
Something, something, something
---
Free, I did not know you well then
Summer speaks and you came flooding
Now I see summer was just fleeting
I can speak, this bears repeating

Membrane

|

Here I go ripping apart my membrane
to make room for art
What did I say?
What did I say?
Crawling the water’s edge
I have not felt
weakness in my knees
Fold me inside their sleeves
Help me remember this
Cause when I forage states within
I dry my bed to sleep and swim the pelago
sea dreams I reach are far but oh,
how they clearly conceive
of baby skin and bobbing free
A wisdom I once knew
Centuries deep
But now I don’t quite know the foam
So I lay in bed to heal the fall
You cut the cord at last my lord
It was time for me to see...

Softening up like a peach
Holding me inside the leaves
Am I young enough to taste sweet?
You picked me
You picked me
From your bounty
You picked me
You picked me
From your bounty

You left the door ajar
did I hear you say?
You didn’t go too far
I’m here to stay
Came in like falling petals
Everything is softly tethered
Didn’t know
That time, that time is long ago
You came with a pause, or so I claim
You know who you are
so stay

Cycles

Don’t you read about all the things you once shed?
Don’t you think I know now
You got me (you got me)?
If I say the right sounds
will your ear turn to mine?
Lay me down to the ground.
Tell me how I sound (how I surround).
And you were just another one that passed me by so quick.
What If I told you that this is just a part of it?
