I Am You 03:05
One two three We'll make a human tree We'll have our limbs as leaves One two three together we will breathe forever frequency For a moment Can we stand like bodies stand put our feet on sacred land and surrender to the cosmic plan and I am a mirror, friend and you are a mirror to me too and I love me and I love you You are me I am you We are bodies and we all are learning and we have a yearning to be seen Well I see you and I hear you, feel you and I'm glad you're in this body here with me here with me here with me For a moment Can we stand like bodies stand put our feet on sacred land and surrender to the cosmic plan and I am a mirror, friend and you are a mirror to me too and I love me and I love you You are me I am you You are me I am you You are me I am you In my pocket there's a tiny rock for when I feel like I might float away I believe in magic, skin's not made of plastic we are healing we are free For a moment Can we stand like bodies stand put our feet on sacred land and surrender to the cosmic plan and I am a mirror, friend and you are a mirror to me too and I love me and I love you You are me I am you

Time saved my life I made it my doctor prescribed each night One drop a day A tincture of patience and tranquility Over and over again I’m made of fire It scorches my bones and it fuels my desire I see your eyes They’re coated in questions and full of surprise Over and over again If today’s the last day on this earth What a beautiful day that we have What a beautiful reason to breathe If this breath’s the last one I will take What beautiful lungs that I have What a beautiful motion to make I do not judge I am no lawyer no god from above I’ll be your guide If you be my teacher and be by my side I’ll be your honey if you be my hive I’ll be your honey if you be my hive If you be my hive If you be my hive If you be my hive If today’s the last day on this earth What a beautiful day that we have What a beautiful reason to breathe If this breath’s the last one I will take What beautiful lungs that I have What a beautiful motion to make Over and over again Over and over again

Behind Glass 03:23
Can’t touch you Can’t touch Can’t feel your fear This bubble Gets bigger When you are here Look at all the light in the building shining Look, look at all the people looking at you Behind glass Behind glass Sweet honey bee buzzing it’s time to rest i see you Have hunger pollenate us Look at all the light in the building shining Look, look at all the people looking at you Behind glass Behind glass All that we have feared Is just a particle of dust You choose to breathe it in And it will blacken up your lungs We are all the children of our mothers and fathers and our mothers and our fathers are the children of their moms and dads and they are all the children of their parents and their parents and their parents etc. and we are all the children of the earth And we are gonna take good care of her We are all the children of the earth And we are gonna take good care of her

Things I can still touch: My heart. My chest and abdomen expanding with my breath The cracks in the wooden floors on my feet, flows in between my teeth, my book about death Warm soapy sink water, my favorite fuzzy sweater, food as I chew, lips as I lick, the ground. Things I can still feel: Love. Cold hands. Titillated. Creative. The vibrations of energy. A part of something. Calm, and full, and supported, and sensual, and intimate, and infinite, and silly, and stable, and everything. I can still feel everything. I can still feel everything.

Letting Go 02:18
I stretched these hips for everyone else but myself for too long I believed it cause everyone told me that’s where they belonged I’m letting you go I’m letting you go I’m taking control Of mind body soul This house was home for everyone else but myself until now We aren’t alone we’re together and that makes it better somehow Every time you touch me I am certain that you love me Cause I’m certain that I love myself And I am not a wishing well Every sign I find’s another Sprinkling of me It is an inkling of we And we are bodies trying to be I’m letting you go I’m letting you go I’m taking control Of mind body soul I’m taking slow slow slow

I am pleasure i am pain I am comfort I am shame I am peeling myself off you I am feeling myself feel too I am pleasure I am pain I am loss and I am gain I am orange and I am blue I’m the put and I’m the through Talking up a storm inside my room People are afraid we’re in a tomb And we might be Rest easy my past, you are gone Sending prayers and then I’m moving on shimmering ease I am pleasure I am pain I am different I’m the same I in love with her and you I am one and we are 2 Talking up a storm inside my room People are afraid we’re in a tomb And we might be Rest easy my past, you are gone Sending prayers and then I’m moving on Rest easy my past, you are gone You’re a place I no longer belong Im the virus I’m the cure I’m uncertain I am sure I’m the facts and I’m the lore I’m Apple I’m the core

I tell my self stories My ego thinks silly things Never alone in the comfort of home Wishing you well on phone Strawberries raspberries Gypsy’s elves and fairies singing this tune in the light of the moon Hoping I’ll see ya real soon I found peace In that place right between My eyes when they’re open and closed bending the light as it glows I observed I wondered I questioned I pondered And so it goes, where we’ll be no one knows I like to watch it all grow I am enjoying the show

Strange 03:01
I paid the price to be right and took me by surprise That the price to be right doesn’t make me any wiser I didn’t even get a prize or something It’s as if right don’t be nothin You told me things that were true And it hurt to hear it We planted seeds and we grew And now we are here but distance people dying every instant What a strange strange time to be alive Thanks for being kind This change will change all of our lives It’ll all be fine And you you’ll be too I gave all my shame to god Burned it in a fire I bathed in light from up above Showered in desire Naked and amazed Naked and amazed Naked and amazed What a strange strange time to be alive (x 4?) What a strange strange time to be alive Thanks for being kind This change will change all of our lives It’ll all be fine This strange strange time to be alive Thanks for being kind This change will change all of our lives

Rebirth 03:23
Take my advice Walk the path that’s glistening Lean into that listening Cause you know you know you know Take all the time Mother Earth has gifted you And the rest we’ve shifted to Makes us grow we grow we grow I am a miracle of light And I’ll shine my light on you Are a miracle of light you will shine your light on top of this building If all of us are willing we will water the dirt And guide the rebirth Who would have known We’d be standing feet apart It sure makes a fonder heart Cause we see we see we see What we need the most there’s no static to distract There’s no certain way to act or to be to be to be I am a miracle of light And I’ll shine my light on you Are a miracle of light you will shine your light on top of this building If all of us are willing we will water the dirt And guide the rebirth will water the dirt And guide the rebirth (repeat) Take my advice Walk the path that’s glistening Lean into that listening Cause you know you know you know Take all the time Mother Earth has gifted you And the rest we’ve shifted to Makes us grow we grow we grow I am a miracle of light And I’ll shine my light on you Are a miracle of light you will shine your light on top of this building If all of us are willing we will water the dirt And guide the rebirth

about

I found healing during the covid 19 quarantine through writing a series of songs. These songs represent a journey of self and a journey of the collective, and I am grateful for you taking the time to heal with me.
