Loss grows.
It doesn’t shrink.
Because missed moments multiply and expand infinitely.
Some things aren’t fixable
And so I'm just ok
But I’ll tell you I'm great to relieve your discomfort, that’s the game.
Adrift
Floating
A blip in deep space
In one moment
it can all change
Unlucky, yet charmed
Sad and thankful.
Happy and grieving,
Still not quite believing,
You won’t be around.
I’m glad platitudes give you peace
Because lately they just make my angry
Time heals all wounds, unless it doesn’t.
And I still haven't found mysticism or religion.

Cold

VERSE 1:
It’s cold,
It’s cold.
Took some sucker punches to the chest
This reality isn’t pretty
It won’t end me yet
But a backhoe’s at my chest
And she’s diggin a pit of despair.
VERSE 2:
Resilient?! what’s next?
Some sort of brand, new, “sick” test
Louie, I’m counting on you
To put pressure on the bleed
PRE CHORUS:
I, I’ll just get busy
I, I’ll just drown it in busy
I, I’ll just get busy
Opportunity attacks from “friends,”
Mother Hubbard, does this end?
A morbid cherry on top
I couldn’t have ever foreseen.
I, I’ll just get busy
I, I’ll just drown it in busy
I, I’ll just get busy
CHORUS:
Is this the hopeful part?
Is this where I burn it all down?
Is this the hopeful part?
Is this where I turn it around?

Coffee.
More coffee.
I should drink water.
But I won’t.
What’s the day got in store?
I don’t know.
You don’t know.
We won’t know.
Until we know.
Not before.
Lunch.
Works a drag.
Why’s it take all god damn dayyyy?
4 more hours until
I get 4 hours
to do my chores.
What’s the day got in store?
I don’t know.
You don’t know.
We won’t know.
Until we know.
Not before.
What’s the day got in store?
I don’t know.
You don’t know.
We won’t know.
Until we know.
Not before.

Not. My. Fault.
I am just nice.
Not. My. Fault.
You can’t act right.
It’s not my responsibility
I used to blame myself
Now, I’m putting the onus
Where it belongs, on the shelf
You are boundary crossing
Like it’s your full time job
Not. My. Fault.
I am just nice.
Not. My. Fault.
You can’t act right.
I will trust my instincts
I won’t think twice
I won’t beat myself up
Wondering if I’m right
And you will take responsibility for being the creep that you are
And everyone around me will understand
manipulation is where it starts.
“You know, you’re a performer, you’re just going to have to get used to things like this.”
“You really shouldn’t have been so friendly, men confuse that for an invitation.”
“Someone new to the music community added you as a friend on socials and you accepted, I mean you don’t even know that person, that’s where you went wrong.”

Left to my own devices
In my natural state
Stay up until 3
Sleep the morning away
Knitting by the fire
Unclenched my jaw
A year of overworking and grief
I’m letting go of it all
Time to breath
Time for me
Time to sit
Time to sing
We all need rest
We all deserve rest
We all need rest
We all deserve rest
