Never Invited You
04:58

All our hands wringing in the dark
No heart to wait it out
Silence lifting off our tongues
Oh we, oh we were young
All we saw
from the corners of our eyes
Benches, basements, bedrooms
In the dark and in broad daylight
What has fallen on deaf ears is calling out our names
To the streets, to the phones, to our sisters at home
Reclaim, reclaim
In pajamas, in wet bathing suits
In the dress we planned to wear for weeks
To the party we thought we'd never be invited to
We never invited you
What has fallen on deaf ears is calling out our names
To the streets, to the phones, to our sisters at home
Reclaim, reclaim
Shifting one foot in front of the other
Shifting my skin to a suit of armor
She never invited you
Sister, tell the truth.

All it Takes

The sky is melting with tornadoes
And I'm telling you to drive
Then I'm down and safe in a basement alone
Wet stones and soft sunlight
My fingers are smoking with spiderwebs
I know I need to write
I'm trying to catch that before it goes
But every pen I pick up is dry
Cause I need you, I need you here, I need you here
to blow on what's smoldering
smoldering
I'm hanging again
Strong as I am, inchworming through the air
All of my muscles into nothingness
the rest of life over there
Cause I need you, I need you here, I need you here
to blow on what's smoldering
smoldering
I felt at home in those ramshackle rooms
Full of our stuff & our stories
I feel a light, sorta ache tonight
All it takes to write
Is to write.
