hanging up's always the hardest part
if you gave me the choice i'd never hit the receiver
stay up late to get an early start
those tired eyes, a classic disguise
that i've worn too many times
uh oh apollo, who gave you a crossbow
and taught you to use it? just please don't abuse it
just give me a reason to wake up each morning and i will, i will
tell me your secrets, i swear i can keep them and i will, i will
sometimes silence is the loudest sound
the lack of a message is the same as a message
contradicting what you thought you found
a warning sign of the burning kind
that leaves me flushed in the face
but i don't want you to feel like you have to
hang on to something you don't think's worth holding on to
but what is worth?
just give me a reason to wake up each morning and i will, i will
tell me your secrets, i swear i can keep them and i will, i will

Are You Listening?

it’s a quiet night on the town
and i’m thinking out loud
what keeps me up’s got me down
as i try to map it all out
weighing plans with my doubt
placing pins, tracing routes
are you listening?
navigating between false and true north
i’ll take the rhumb to the fork
and i’ll gamble my course
anticipation of washing ashore
i’ve got my vest in the drawer
i’ve got my best out the door
are you listening?
there’s blood in the water, the sharks keep on swimming
my clothes are all heavy and i keep on sinking
if the sharks eat the fishes then who eats the sharks?
i’m a part of the cycle just playing my part
when will i surface? when will i sink?
sometimes i just feel like a rock in the sea
but erosion’s been friendly to rough rocks like me
i am listening
terrified of tipping the scales
so i’m biting my nails
obsessing over details
now the balance and the beams have burnt down
so we’ll rebuild this town
standing on solid ground
are you listening?

North Brother

i watched you suffer
i watched you quarantine the plague
my northern brother
when you caught fire, you burned away
and then just like a phoenix
when you emerged you dusted off your wings
i wish i could've seen it
i wish there was a word for the
feeling when you recognize
the streets and signs that tell you you are home
i am home
'cause i've been driving with the feeling that i've lost my way
with nowhere to rest
and though i might have said i fixed my brain
i think my heart's still a mess
flashback, flash forward
how come i'm never in the now?
my norther brother
could you come back and show me how?
i try my best to be honest
'cause when i lie i am laid back on the ground
i try my best to stay modest
but it's hard when i'm just so goddamn proud
i am proud
and it's a problem 'cause i'll
beat, beat, beat, beat, beat my chest until my knuckles blush
but if my heart beats back with equal strength
i think i'll listen up
i believe in thanking strangers
and celebrating small remainders
a birthday cake with a wax-lit timer
i'm sure i can be a little bit kinder
i believe in astrophysics
and the planets that i cannot visit
but i hope to one day see them
on tv or real in person
i believe in forward progress
and the love of a simple promise
'cause if we trust the ones that trust us
it will take less time to adjust
i believe in feminism
a contrast to the world we live in
we're a part of a big equation
an equals sign and an obligation
i believe it's all right if i don't have sex that often
i believe it's all right if i don't fall asleep 'til morning
i believe it's all right if i like to think a little
i believe it's all right if i like to drink a little/a lot
i believe it's all right to be alone
i believe it's all right to want to go home
i believe it's all right to be unknown
i believe it's all right to just let go
