recording notes

my fingers so still on this keyboard
a little overmhelmed i suppose

a little overwhelmed

move in closer to me
roll towards my heart and let's play together

i'd like that
yeah, i really would


come cuddle and say all those sweet nothings with your palm
breathe heavy tender on my neck
lay soft against my shoulder

right here
hold
pause
freeze
sleep

miss it so much

ephemeral apparel

it's what i wear today
my heart on my lips
my thought- spotted drips
my beliefs on my sleeve tint
my gut cut and pierced in print
rock it shy
rock it bold
dress it real
bless it and deal
heal

get over it
get into it
give it for real
wearing my zeal
it's what i wear today
all i've got
all i am
all i'm not
all that i want to be

it's what i wear today
all my feathered bullets
these day in and day out poets
you and me, pilots to our rockets

it's what i wear today
halfway to someday
swaying in this day
pushing through this passageway
i rock my soul as my forte

my best fashion
my moment
stained and sewn
all i own
cloth for my backbone

i paint the world today
just by wearing me today

and launched are all these staggering rockets
we're all just ephemeral snippets of a moment
how brilliant

to wear who we are
learning it's okay

it's what i wear today

bliss is ignorance

whoa.


it's all happening.




i am humility and rebel
i am responsibilty and choice
i am black sheep painted purple
yellow in a world of green
blackened in my wildest dreams
sometimes i like my steak rare
sometimes i want to get lost in your stare

i am nothing special
i am just like you

i have been tarred and feathered
but i am standing my ground
i won't be leaving town

this is where i'm from
this is where i'll reside
in all this dirt
this old weathered shirt
in the lining of your skirt
fucking hurts
this battle
this fight
finding out our worth
it's kinda nice
you by my side

eve's brew

the quiet before the storm
shh
enjoy this space
enjoy it now
because it's all about to get louder
take out your ear plugs and listen to the build
her she comes
or goes
depending if you're standing
or moving
dip dive and dig
take a bite and live
i want to feed your mouth with some home cooking
thank the non believers for all their doubting
shh
take a bite and live

i ate the fucking apple
paradise is overrated
