there's a letter in the pocket, of the jacket
waiting underneath the stairwell, for you to find
and i'd hurry quick to read it, if you're needing a suggestion
on what to do about your busy mind
oh believe me i've been strugglin', just like you
but I can say goodbye, to all the tears I cry, they just,
warm my cheek and remind me i'm alive
she was downtown, floatin' around, staring at the sunset
cause' even if you're troubled, the sun still does come out, for you
and in her head they found a spider
crawlin' up the side of her brain
and i'd hurry quick to catch it, if you're needing a possession
to keep with you when she decides to leave
oh believe me i've been strugglin', just like you
but I can say goodbye, to all the tears I cry, they just,
warm my cheek and remind me i'm alive
she was downtown, floatin' around, staring at the sunset
cause' even if you're troubled, the sun still does come out, for you
she was downtown, floatin' around, staring at the sunset
cause' even if you're troubled, the sun still does come out,
yeah even if you're lonely, the sun still does come out, for you.

The Wreck
04:21
|

well i lost my way, i was making up a story again
well our ship had sailed, across the sea, with no one there, guiding
and all was fine, till we saw the light, the beacon tried to warn me
and our minds were blown
and our clothes were torn
and our feet were cold
and my legs were sore
as I made my way onto the shore
and I saw the wreck, from upon a ledge, just above the waters edge
so I made my way, onto higher ground, the others they, oh they can't be found
and our minds were blown
and our clothes were torn
and our feet were cold
and I crossed the field
in the cool breeze,of the evening chill
and I lay my head, on a bed of grass, and I waiting for, the night to pass
oh and in my dream, well I was awake, drifting on, the sea again
and our minds were blown
and our clothes were torn
and our feet were cold
and I lost my way, I was making up, a story again
and our minds were blown
and our clothes were torn
and our feet were cold
and i lost my way, I was making up, a story again.

At the Bottom
03:57

at the bottom, I met a man, who told me not to be scared,
no matter what is there
and as we started talking, i started speaking in tongues i didn't recognize, and my demons came before my eyes, and to me that was a surprise
at the bottom, you see a face, but it doesn't look like yours
the who's face is yours
in the middle, when you start to talk about it, and you start to move on in, and your voice is rising
I knew a sailor and his name was sam, he had to fight to get his voice back
but in the middle of the night, oh you can still hear him cry
I want to be like everyone else, except I don't
I want to see the world, but i'm too broke
and everything they tell you about the world
it doesn't work for everyone.

The River

well you were scared, and I understand, if you didn't have time to hold my hand
I didn't know, what to do, i was sitting alone with the scissors in the bathroom waiting for you
but darlin don't cry, darlin don't fear,
life is a running game, that you have to bear
darlin don't cry, darlin come here,
life is a heavy load, that i'll help you bear
and the kitchen sink, was full of you, from when you cut your own hair cause' you didn't want to have to ask me too
and i didn't know, what to do, I was carrying a stone walking into the ocean waiting for you.
but darlin don't cry, darlin don't fear,
life is a running game, that you have to bear
darlin don't cry, darlin come here,
life is a heavy load, that i'll help you bear
I will take you down to the river, but you gotta be the one to take a drink
(x4)
darlin don't cry, darlin don't fear,
life is a running game, that you have to bear
darlin don't cry, darlin don't fear,
life is a heavy load, that i'll help you bear

There's a Storm

there's a storm, she's a blowin, she's a comin round the bend
she's been chasing me for miles, she's been keepin me in bed
now she's taken all my money, and she's taken half my friends
there's a storm, she's a blowin, she's a comin round again
when I find in me no sadness, when I find in me no pain comes an achin in my bones, comes a dancin in the rain
in the middle of the night, well she's whisperin my name, she's as quiet as a stone, but she's louder than a train
there's a storm, she's a blowin, she's a comin round the bend
she's been chasing me for miles, she's been keepin me in bed
now she's taken all my money, and she's taken half my friends
there's a storm, she's a blowin, she's a comin round again

Build a Boat
04:38
|

honey life is hard
she'll throw stones at your cave, she'll laugh as she breaks your heart
and they'll say, you're weak and you;re wrong, but when I look at you, baby all I see is strong
so put on your boots and walk
don't let em trip you as you make your way through the fog
and when the waves, come crashin in
you won't sink honey, you will swim
and when the rain, comes fallin down
you'll build a boat honey, you can't drown
and someday, you'll catch a train
you'll stick out your thumb and say mother free me from these chainsand honey, just sail from your shore
you'll be scared, but happy, and free, oh i've done it before
and don't, lose hope when you're done, you'll realize home is wherever you lay your head on the ground.
and when the waves, come crashin in
you won't sink honey, you will swim
and when the rain, comes fallin down
you'll build a boat honey, you can't drown
and when the waves, come crashin in
you won't sink honey, you will swim
and when the rain, comes fallin down
you'll build a boat honey, you can't drown

More than Me
04:34
|

i'mma losing my self, and i'mma feeling worn out
and the sun has lost his day
and the moon has lost her face
well i'mma trying to stay afloat
all this water has carried me away
and I cannot leave, and I cannot stay
don't go, i'm not losing you
I won't know how to be
i have got myself, but sometimes I might need more than me
well i'mma losing my mind
and i'mma feeling so tired
and i'mma looking to the woods
and i'mma looking to the sea
don't go, i'm not losing you
I won't know how to be
I have got myself, but sometimes I might need more than me
november 6th, 2016,
the birds outside the window are moving exactly like a school of fish,
not one decided which way to move, but all together, sporadically.
it's the last couple months of the year, my hair is just past my shoulders, it was sunny earlier today, but the clouds have taken over.
january 8th, 2017,
life is floating on I suppose, I found a book, it's about a woman who meets an old blind woman, and learns from her to come back to who she is and where she's from, i'm really enjoying it so far.
february 4th, 2017,
with arms stretched wide, I call for you, in times I cannot breathe, i wait for you, but really I wait for me, really I want to love me, and you're helping me fall more in love with myself everyday. like a loud crow screaming into my ear you are a shouting child.
august 10, 2017,
i think i'm actually starting to feel better, i don't feel like i'm just trying to distract myself, i feel like i'm here.

Raven Sing
02:42
|

I sat here for a while, thought of everything,
I heard the raven sing, and she sounded sweet
we get caught in the waves, get caught in our minds, get stuck in our ways
be wild and free, you don't have to smile, if that's not how you feel
I sat here for a while, thought of everything,
I heard the raven sing, and she sounded sweet
if in the darkest of day, a shadow remains, then so must a light
come back to the woods, and play me your song, i've forgotten the words
I sat here for a while, thought of everything,
I heard the raven sing, and she sounded sweet
