Mama

I’ve never been so scared
I’ve never been so sure
I've never know so well the strength deep within my soul
Watch me break and watch myself build again
I promise I will show you everything
I am
Rock with me baby
Though I don’t think you’ll remember
I know our bodies being close is just like writing letters
To the muscles in our shoulder till we grow old and surrender
To the love and pain and imperfection hidden in our mothers
Mama I am okay
You know I came from somewhere else
As I grow I will forget the perfect love within myself
You may have forgotten too but I am here to let you know
Mama you are okay, you are perfect you are whole
Mama you are okay, you are beautiful
A strength that lay in wait until the moment I arrived
You always held your own and now I’m certain you can fly
I took a piece of you I know you hold those losses deep
But I’ll give back to you all that you gave to me
Rock with me baby, I will always remember
We lived so close before and as you grow I must surrender
To the pulling of my heart across the distances we keep
I promise I will hold you and then I will set you free

Beautiful People

beautiful love is for beautiful people
they have each other and I should be grateful
but it’s always the same I am bored by your lovers
she’s softer than you and she’d be a good mother
beautiful fear is for beautiful people
I lie here alone in the dark with my evil
the faster I run the quicker I crumble
hiding from what is inside me is wasted
all that I am is wide open spaces
beautiful lives are for beautiful people
my carrion dreams lying under the steeple
I spin a cyclical prayer for an answer thats equal
to the story I carved in the wall of my castle
I miss lying with you on the bench in the chapel
beautiful bodies make beautiful people
I repeated it over until it was lethal
and better yet still if it can be painful
I lie on the floor crying out for a reason
why love isn’t for me
they cover the ceilings with rebels and royals
burn all the pages between cause they’re boring
but a beauty alone couldn’t build a cathedral

All My Love

You’ll find a woman
You’ll see the rain when she sings
She’s got mazes for memories
On each finger she wears a ring
You’ll find your lover
On top of a mountain
And she’ll carry you back down
To drink from the fountain
You’ll find a woman
She’ll sing you into the sky
She’ll bring time in a box
And lay it by your side
Sincerities sister
But she’s a sinner for you
The sweet smelling meadow
And all of the fireflies too
Lilacs and lace
Crimson and clover
She keeps you safe in her coat
From each storm passing over
If all I could give
Was my honest words
Id say here is my love for you
And give it her
