Well Again

I could have done it by myself
But it would have been slower
I would have wasted more of my years
Instead you showed me it’s not all bad
I guess I don’t say it enough
But I think about it when I’m on the slow train
I think you made me well again
Something about me and you
Makes me feel something new
I think it’s that I’m not afraid
I think you made me well again
I can see how far we’ve come
When you listened with your open eyes
You tried to understand my pain
I think you made me well again
I hope you find a light like that
That burns in the darkest night
And washes you clean like rain
And makes you well again

Bit of Brightness

I’ll eat beans for a year
If I can get this record out
I’ll look inwards and outwards
I’ll lock myself in a room
Does that make me a selfish person?
But I’ve always been true
And I’m safe and I’m loved
Beneath this strong tin roof
I dream about the day that I can tell a story
With both lungs and throat
To relieve a little pain I’ve got a lot to say
And I wanna hear the silent voices
I’ll raise them up in darkness
I’ll make a bit of brightness
Here and there, here and there
While I don’t know who I’ll be
Tomorrow or today
I know I’m the one who has a duty
I’m the one who has to wait
For the sake of this union
And the sake of this life
I’ll get a little space now
I’ll take a little time
I’ll look up at the beauty untouched by city lights
I’ll let it open me up
To all the ones who carry, any kind of mad or sad
We’ll bask in that beauty, we’ll hold it in our hands
And we’ll make a bit of brightness
We’ll make a bit of brightness
Here and there, here and there

This time last year
I walked upon green grass
Under strong trees
Sun coming down
Alongside shining river
I stood in the sun rain
Droplets on my bare skin
Christmas has been and gone
It was the best I've ever had
We pretended to be children
It was easier to go back then
I tried to look up in the sky book
In the library in the air
I read tarot cards and tea leaves
But I already had the answers in my head
I already had the answers in my head
I already had the answers in my head
We've both dug our heels in so deep
Waiting for the other to make it better
I'm so scared we'll be taught a lesson
Of the dangers of being stubborn
I won't wear those earrings you gave me
I have trouble seeing that picture
I think about this mess before I sleep
Then I toss my way through heavy dreams
I already had the answers in my head
I know we're playing out an age old story
I don't even want to hear you say sorry
I don't even know what I want from this
I just want to make some sense of it
some sense of it
I already had the answers in my head
I already had the answers in my head

Measurements
02:43
|

|
Made to sit and think back on my short life so far
Made to sit and think now of my value and my worth
and I'm measured in beauty
measured in sex
measured in money
measured by debt
Clouding my judgement with thoughts of food
nourishing my soul with inedible somethings
We were too busy calculating our waistlines
To dream a different dream
Well we didn’t have the time
Now we’re measured in duty
measured in sex
measured in money
measured by debt
I don't want to be a nurse
But I do want to care
I don't want to be a mother
but I do want to be there
How did you learn to forget yourself?
Always providing and supporting somebody else
Now we’re measured in beauty
measured in sex
measured in money
measured by debt

Making up for lost time
Waking up this year
We’re all looking in
Clearing through the mud
Took a trip up north to see
A different kind of beauty
Tryna stop the flood
I stood at the foot of the highest mountain
She told me I was small
Which is what I needed
To see a different way
To make a change
We were under water
It’s like we couldn’t hear
Even when the shouting
Got too much to bear
We kept on keeping on
Playing out our roles
Given to us
At our births
We’re making up for lost time
The time before
And the time ahead

Joan

She’s got imagination
Loneliness it gave her time
Have you heard her tales of
Living on the other side?
She was so scared to be mean
To the people that she loved
Even when they were so mean
She thought she could rise above
She’s living in a fantasy
So you gotta go carefully
She gets underneath your skin
But there’s no point in wrestling your way in
She’s got divination
She’s got voices in her mind
Has she promised you the same?
Forever and all of time?
She’s living in a fantasy
So you gotta go carefully
She gets underneath your skin
But there’s no point in wrestling your way in
living in a fantasy

Paper Boat
03:34

These thoughts keep playing like a slideshow on repeat
Like a dramedy I do not want to see
And I tried to put them in a paper boat
Tried to watch them float on down the river
On down the river
Away from me
To set them free
So tonight
I can go to sleep
And there’s one, she keeps on coming back
She says hello so often I wonder what
She’s really after
I’ve been talking lately to a lady in a room
with windows up so high, a candle burns
and I can see the sky
I’ve been talking to a lady
She’s got magic up her sleeve
She asks me to pretend to be
Those thoughts I don’t want to see
I play a bully, I play a saint
I play a child on the stage
I’m trying so frantically
To rest my mind to go to sleep
And I tried to put them in a paper boat
Tried to watch them float on down the river

Strong in Numbers
03:41

Tryna keep myself off the meds
I used to want to drag something
A piano across my door
Now I’m just left wanting more
I remember the ones who put me here
I feel I’ll never pay my bills
Coz I’m always living, living inside
But no one’s the same, all of their lives
I was asleep, now I’m awake
I was brainwashed then I escaped
You took my hand, gave me a shield
Gave me the strength to forgive and heal
This way of being, so full of doubts
Second guessing all our stories
Now I’m got you, I can’t live without
My friendship fix, and the truth of growing
We can take back the spaces we could not go
We can take back the darkness
Now I just long for your company
So we can be strong in numbers, then they’ll see
We can be strong in numbers, then they’ll see
My friendship fix, and the truth of growing
My friendship fix, and the truth of growing

Fledgling

You wanted to go to the party
But you wouldn’t know a single soul there
And besides you were ten years younger than everybody
But you still got a kiss on the fire escape stairs
And you thought what’s the worst that could happen to me now?
I cannot be abandoned
You’re not a child anymore
And you can catch yourself when you drop to the floor
As this storm brews in the sky
I’m so tired I could cry
Despite all those hours spent in that room
Nothing can compare to the thrill of you
And you thought what’s the worst that could happen to me now?
You cannot be abandoned
You’re not a child anymore
And you can catch yourself
When you drop to the floor

You Can Be Cold
02:32

You can’t be everybody’s best friend
It’s ok to be distant
If you don’t like what they’re doing
You can be cold, you can be cold
Sometimes you just have to say no
You can’t buy up any more land
We’re gonna start makin our own things
Things that are grown by our own hands
And all the signs are there
They’re flashing at you in red neon
You don’t have to turn a blind eye
Put on your sunglasses and walk away
Sometimes if you’ve got that funny feeling
That this person’s pretty dodgy
Maybe they’ve poisoned all the water
Maybe they ran away with the money
People are whispering in your ear
About short term solutions
But you remember those good old days
Locking arms with your comrades
And all of the signs are there
They’re flashing at you in red neon
You don’t have to turn a blind eye
Just put on your sunglasses and walk away
