Is This A Fight

Is this a fight?
Where you don't want to talk to me?
And you don't want to hurt me
But you don't want to touch me
And I just want to be held, so I know that you're not leaving
But I don't think that's healthy
So I stay over here and say things like
"I think that there's more to say" yeah
But I don't really say it
And you don't respond
You sit like meditating
I lay here and write
And no one is talking
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
A fight, a fight, a fight
I don't know is this, is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
Is this a fight?
A fight, a fight, a fight

Send me somewhere I can get a break
Somewhere far, far away
Put me on a lake
Put me on the sea
Put me somewhere I can be baptized every time I dip my feet
Put me on a lake
Put me on the sea
Put me somewhere I can see my eyes stare back at me
Put me on a lake
Put me on the sea
Put me somewhere I can have fresh air to finally breath
Send me somewhere new
Where I can get a break
Somewhere far away
Put me on a lake

Questions fill my time
But I've got space to fill
I've heard they're both the same
Can't tell my heart that
I wanted all the money
So I'd be able to sleep
I wanted all the tears to dry
So I could breathe
Now I've got the money
And lungs that know the breeze
And I've got reason to believe that
All the answers must be somewhere

Questions fill my time but I've got space to fill
I've heard they're both the same, can't tell my heart that
I wanted all the money so I'd be able to sleep
I wanted all the tears to dry so I could breathe
Now that I've got money and lungs that know the breeze
I've got reason to believe
All the answers must be somewhere
All the answers must be somewhere
My heart
Call it open, call it empty, my heart
I've got all these open jars
And you've got the house on the hill
I've got all these open jars
And you've got the house on the hill
Maybe you can see, where the answers wait for me
Maybe you can see from your house up there on the hill
On the hill
I've got all these open jars full of space to fill
And you've got the house on the hill
You've got the house on the hill
You've got the house on the hill

Whiskey

I tried and I tried and I tried to make lemonade from your wine.
Your whiskey breath it cut me every time.
I tried and I tried and I tried to make lemonade from your wine.
Your whiskey breath it cut me every time.
I tried and I tried and I tried to make lemonade from your wine.
You gave me just enough to keep me tryin.
Your breath like knives. You'd sleep til noon, stay up all night.
I'd say it all a thousand times.
But no you wouldn't apologize.
Because you knew you wouldn't change.
Change for me. I'd beg, I'd plead. Change for you, I’d ask, I need
I tried and I tried and I tried and tried.
To make lemonade out of your wine.
Your whiskey breath cut me every time.
I tried and I tried and I tried and tried.
whiskey is like tongues untied and all your words cut deep as knives.
Breath so sharp with heart so nice.
whiskey is like tongues untied and all your words cut deep as knives.
Breath so sharp with heart so nice.
Whiskey, whiskey over ice.
Over ice you kept so cold.
Only I could see your throne.
I tried and I tried and I tried to tell you
That wine can't hide and I can smell you
Your whiskey breath it cut me every time
Your whiskey breath it cut me every time
Your whiskey breath it cut me every time
Your whiskey breath it cut me

Coffee
00:52
|

Coffee tastes like guilt
But it's so hot, it melts away the layers of belief
Until I see them standing naked
Fraudulent and faking, lying through ugly teeth and laughing
Coffee thick as silt
Been sitting
Cooled off, ears ringing, short nap
Been waiting to understand so long
That it's twice as strong in half the dose
Coffee tastes like guilt and stings the tongue of the liar
Who professed to be able to afford it and not to need it
Even decaf leaves something filled
And I wonder if I really love it or if I just want to consume
I wonder if I really love at all or if I just want to consume
And I wonder if my thoughts look dark to you
Dark as coffee
Thick as silt

You’re so creative baby and I don’t make much
Yeah you’re an artist baby and I just make love
You’ve got your head on strong shoulders, and I’ve crashed now I’m on the shoulder

So I need it back yeah
Darlin I need it back
Keeper of my heart
Yeah
So I need it back yeah
Darlin I need it back
Keeper of my heart
I feel you moving forward, I don't feel me moving too
My records are playing over, you always here the same tunes
I think you're getting bored of me love, I’m afraid I’ma lose you
But I still just love you so much and I don’t know what to do
So I need it back yeah
Darlin I need it back
Keeper of my heart
Yeah

Boundaries
00:45
|
|||
So beautiful, so right, so full, so whole
So easy to touch, to hold,
To
Drop
To break
To feel until its edges are sharp
To drink until it's no longer contained
When the sweetness escapes it isn't free
It's broken
Scattered
Maimed
Freedom and boundaries are not the same thing
But binding what's beautiful into one book
Does not denote the beauty of a page
Boundaries are what keeps beauty from falling into pieces
Still beautiful in pieces
But so hard to hold

Not Healed Yet
02:43
|
|||
I'm sorry I've been distant
I'm sorry I've been upset
I know I could be better
But I'm not healed yet
I'm sorry I've been a day dreamer
I'm sorry I've been a bad friend
Someday I'll be better
But I'm not healed yet
And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up
If I could take them down baby please trust that I would
And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up
If I could take them down baby please trust that I would
That I would
I'm sorry my hugs are hollow
I'm sorry my eyes dart when I say I love you, I'm
Sorry my ears are wanderers
But I'm not healed yet
And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up
If I could take them down baby please trust that I would
And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up
If I could take them down baby please trust that I would
That I would

When You Were With Me
04:52
|
|||
I hope you find love ,in someone else's hands
That you'll find peace and that you’ll understand
Why I couldn’t leave, but had to take the chance
On moving on, when you gave it to me
And I thank you so much
And I love you more
Than you’ll ever see
Than you’ll ever know
And I hope you grow
Taller than trees
That blocked out your light
When you were with me
I hope your seeds, sleep in this snow
And you find freedom, in somebody’s hold
That you can rest, and she’ll rub your feet
And scratch your back, just like you wanted from me
And I thank you so much
And I love you more
Than you’ll ever see
Than you’ll ever know
And I hope you grow
Taller than trees
That blocked out your light
When you were with me
And I thank you so much
And I love you more
Than you’ll ever see
Than you’ll ever know
And I hope you grow
Taller than trees
That blocked out your light
When you were with me
And all of the nights we spent alone
Live in this tapestry never unwoven
I hope you know you’re not broken
No you’re not broken
And I thank you so much
And I love you more
Than you’ll ever see
Than you’ll ever know
I hope you know you’re not broken
And I hope you grow
Taller than trees
That blocked out your light
When you were with me
And I thank you so much
And I love you more
Than you'll ever see
Than you'll ever know
And I hope you grow
Taller than trees
That blocked out your light
When you were with me
When you were with me
When you were with me
Thank you so much
I love you more
You'll ever see
You'll ever know

Flowers
01:30
|

I wanted flowers but I didn’t tell you and
You woulda known that if
you really knew me
And you claim that you know me so well but
My heart was bleeding and
You couldn’t tell
I count the hours until my heart is honest with you
Knew what I wanted but your
Heart’s in a bottle
And you only love me right when you want it
But I’m thinking of leaving and
You can’t tell
Cause we’d rather burst instead of talking and
Maybe it’s worth it in the long run yeah
Or maybe we’re crazy and we can’t tell

Maya's Family Song
01:13
|
|||
My life is falling apart
My home is falling to pieces
Nothing I can do to put them back together
The only thing I love, my parents so much they were together
Everything was awesome until they separated
It made me sad and gloomy my whole life I miss them being together
And that’s when I was little
We were together
We were together
I thought we would be together forever and ever
They had to separate when I was younger
I was younger

Singin Bout You
03:10
|
|||
There’s a mirror on my ceiling and it sees me walking around
There’s a guitar on my wall and she knows how to sound
Like this feeling grieving, true
I got this feeling and it’s you
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout you
She keeps me singing 'bout ya
There ain’t no way around ya
There ain’t no way around you
There’s a mirror on my ceiling
And it tracks my steps across the ground
There’s a guitar on my wall and she knows how to sound
Like this feeling moving, through
I got this feeling and it’s you
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout you
She keeps me singing 'bout ya
There ain’t no way around ya
There ain’t no way around you
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout you
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout ya
She keeps me singing ‘bout you
She keeps me singing 'bout ya
There ain’t no way around ya
She keeps me singing 'bout you
She keeps me singing 'bout ya
There ain’t no way around ya
She keeps me singing 'bout you

Set The Clock Down
05:34
|
|||
I know I need to set the clock down but it stays up
On my sleeve where my hearts supposed to be
And in this land of broken promises I stay stuck
Between my expectations and reality
This place like limbo
Treading water
It seemed so simple
When I was younger
I laid my roses at the altar
And I hold on to this clock like
It's my daughter
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
Leave my past out in the meadow for the foxes
My future's just as heavy as my past
'Cause I have so many dreams I've put in boxes
But times not linear it seems
I'm always spiraling
And washing my face is like a prayer
Crying water please take what I don't need
And return it to the sea, return it to the sea
I'm crashing in the moment like a wave
Wave
Caffeine can't touch this level of fatigue
Fatigue
My heart it needs a shot of something straight up
Up
Maybe if it's strong enough I'll wake up
Up
I have so many journals filled with smoke
I wove my past in poetry inside them
And some days seem like everything's a joke
I hope someday my children will unwind them
And pull out every thread that wrapped my throat
Set their spirits free of everything behind them
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
A tether to a part of me I need
If I could be a song somebody'd sing
I guess I'd love to share my everything
If really every part of me was true
I wouldn't try to prove myself to you
If I could have a kiss and just believe
That it was new and nothing would repeat
I guess I'd be free
I guess I'd be free
I guess I'd be free
I guess I'd be free
I guess I'd be free
I guess I'd be free
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
If I could set the clock down I'd be free
