Red Flags

You wore me I wore you like a %*+d up tattoo
The lines and patterns a curious SIGHT
The ups the downs the ride, the lies we all let slide
Omit the warning signs we’ll be just fine
‘Cause love saves the Day
Oh no there's hell to pay
Chorus:
Why didn’t I see them right in front of me
A love color blind to toxicity and Red Flags
Da dit da dit da da 2x
I should have seen it when you laughted at me and said “I enjoy getting a rise out of you”
You’d say what’s orange is blue, then scoff, “what’s wrong with you?”
Whittling away my sanity
But love saves the Day
Oh no there’s hell to pay
Chorus:
Why didn’t I see them right in front of me
A love color blind to toxicity and Red Flags
Da dit da dit da da 4x

Ooh____, Ooh____, Ooh_____,
Verse 1
You've got a little sunshine in your eyes
an opalescent shimmer in your smile
Something about the way you walk,
shows me your strength, and when you talk
Oh honey, you overflow with all the good things
Chorus
Won't you spill some of that sweetness onto me
I've got a reservoir, bone dry and empty
Spill a little love, spill a little light
You've got what I need to win this fight...
Ooh____, Ooh____,
Verse 2
My heart was feelin oh so blue
Then I heard you sing my name into the crowd
A melody familiar and low
Resuscitates my sinew, revives my soul
Oh honey you overflow with all the good things
Chorus
Won't you spill some of that sweetness onto me
I've got a reservoir, bone dry and empty
Spill a little love, spill a little light
You've got what I need to win this fight...
Ooh____, Ooh____,
Bridge
you may question if what I say is true
You may doubt the treasure inside you
Oh honey, don't you dare
Truth is, that you affect me so
Your tender kindness means more than you can know Oh honey, I'm asking you please
Chorus
Won't you spill some of that sweetness onto me
I've got a reservoir, bone dry and empty
Spill a little love, spill a little light
You've got what I need to win this fight...
Ooh____, Ooh____, Ooh____.

Tightrope in the Dark
03:43

I tried to go forward. I tried going down.
I tried backwards, sideways, turned all around.
Pressing in, stepping away
What strange force is keeping me here to stay?
On a tightrope in the dark
Trapped suspended without a spark
I tried to be honest, I tried being kind, I tried to love you, heart, body, soul and mind
Pressing in, stepping away
What strange force is keeping us here to stay
On a tightrope in the dark
Trapped suspended without a spark

Calamity

If I were a bird I would fly, fly.
If I were a bird I would fly, fly away.
If I were the wind I would whisper near, “do not fear”.
If I were the wind I would whisper near, cast out fear of
Chorus:
Oh this calamity. All of this enmity
between flesh and bone, between heart and home.
If I were a stone I would stand so strong, stand so strong. If I were a stone I would stand so strong against the wrong of
Oh this calamity. All of this enmity
between flesh and bone, between heart and home.
If I were the waves I would break and churn, cleanse and learn. If I were the waves I would break and churn, so much to learn from
Oh this calamity. All of this enmity
between flesh and bone, between heart and ho———-me.
Heart and ho - - -me. Heart and home.

Lying Sweetly
03:53
|

|
This little secret between my ears
Where no one sees, and no one hears
It’s ruminating, caressing needs
Lying sweetly, “I have something to heed”
Lying sweetly
A satisfying waste
Of all you’ve build, for just one taste
I say to myself, “what are you doing?’
“What are you doing?”
“What are you?
Swelling, sinking, this displaced desire
Lulling me to sleep while laying me in fire
The warmth from my skin these flames will steal Lying sweetly, this feeling will heal
Lying sweetly
A satisfying waste
Of all you’ve build, for just one taste
I say to myself, “what are you doing?’ “What are you doing?”
“What are you?
Lying sweetly
A satisfying waste
Of all you’ve build, for just one taste
I say to myself, “what are you doing?’ “What are you doing?”
“What are you?
This little secret between my ears
Where no one sees, and no one

13 Feet Tall

Lonely is what what I must be
Sitting here up in this tree
Watching as the world spins ‘round
Dances, twirls about the ground
If I were to just let go
Fall into this blustery flow
Would I be caught by warm embrace?
Or feel the coldness of your face?
Oooooo . . .
So I wonder as I sit
The risks and what to make of it
Can my heart endure this fall?
Or will I remain
Thirteen Feet Tall . . .?
Oooooo . . .

Remember
04:03

|
Reach for me, this stagnant air stings my skin
Reach for me, this stagnant air stings my skin
Reach for me
Look my way, this ghost solidifies
In your shining gaze, this ghost solidifies
For Remember Love, there was a time
For Remember Love, there was a time when you were mine
Say my name, oh, say my name
and thaw these doubting bones of mine
thaw these doubting bones of mine
Say my name, ooh say my name
For Remember Love, there was a time
For Remember Love, there was a time
Remember Love, don't you remember Love
When you were mine, when you were mine, oh you were mine

Indigo Blue

Beneath undulating indigo blue I reach for you
My hand is small and sore from gripping to tightly
to things that are not mine
These things are not mine
The rain falls heavy on this house seeking to flush out the stain
A torrent not short on the pain
It’s song comforts this weary space
Strained eyes seek your face
Come to me, Come to me
It’s so very hard to see
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you are mine
The loneliness it floods me, silences they echo my fears
I need to know your heart is still here
Come to me, Come to me
It’s so very hard to see
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you are mine
You are mine
Beneath undulating indigo blue I reach for you
I reach for you
I reach for you

Lyrics: Nayyirah Waheed
Music: Jessa Roquet
the hard season
will
split you through.
do not worry.
you will bleed water.
do not worry.
this is grief.
your face will fall out and
down your skin
and
there will be scorching.
(do not worry)
keep speaking the years from
their hiding places.
keep coughing up smoke
from all the deaths you have
died. keep the rage tender.
because the soft season will
come.
it will come.
loud.
ready.
gulping.
both hands in your chest.
up all night.
up all of the nights.
to drink all damage into love.
the hard season
will
split you through.

Serotinous Skin
03:37
|

How long will these colors lie dormant in this skin?
How long will these colors lie dormant in this skin?
How long will they sleep, known only from within?
What has the strength to coax life out?
What has the strength to coax life out, to spread these petals bare,
Lure the beast from her wintery lair?
A spark flies and falls on the forest’s cracked floor
Grows into a flame, a dance, consuming more
It waltzes iridescent, reflecting in your eyes
Feeding on your fears, incinerating lies
Incinerating lies
In that crescendo of orange, blue, and red
When all around you has been left scorched or dead
Your serotinous skin gives birth to fragrant hues
A palette of all that’s new
Each seed one hidden
A clear place to begin
