Roses Are Dead

2/14/2021

1. Ii’ve been thinking ‘bout roses
one of nature’s designs
how they don’t stick their noses
in the business of dying
what I suppose is
when they fall from the vine
they’re just making room
for more things to bloom
when it’s their time

if roses are dead
and people die too
don’t worry your head
they’re just something new
the petals will shed i
t’s just what they do
only to wither
so they can deliver
life back to you

i’ve been thinking ‘bout thorns
how they’re sharp in your hands
how they give off a warning
how they state their demands
and the opinion i’m forming
i hope you understand
that pain’s just a part
of healing your heart
it’s all going to plan

Let Love Lead the Way

1. we are the women
we have the power
to come together
to save the day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

2. we are the women
we make our own choices
we lift up our voices
we are not afraid
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

3. we are the women
all colors of skin and
we will be voting on election day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

Time is on the Way

is the weight of the world wreaking its havoc
is the state of affairs so scary it hurts
is that venomous voice in your head automatic
just letting you have it
making you feel like dirt

baby you're the damn grand canyon
baby you're a big great lake
you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space
all those tall sequoias
they didn't grow in just one day
you know a landmark kind of life takes time
and time is on the way
time is on the way
carving marvels out of clay
yeah time is on the way

is the hardest part of your day in the morning
turn on your phone, feel alone, and lament
does the pressure you feel steal your breath without warning
feel that furrowed brow forming
making you feel irrelevant

baby you're the damn grand canyon
baby you're a big great lake
you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space
all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day
you know a landmark kind of life takes time
and time is on the way time is on the way
carving marvels out of clay
yeah time is on the way
time is on the way
coming round to save the day
so slow down, let it pave the way
yeah time is on the way

Nothing Worse

there's a pillow i keep punching
i always take you lying down
there's a pill so hard to swallow
i have to hide it in my mouth

i'm sinking down the valley, can't find the surface
i'm fighting the finale, like a novice novelist
i'm pacing like Penelope, hope for my homecoming kiss
course there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this

there's a hole where i keep whispering
i always wonder if you hear
there's a hopeless place where i know best
but dear i don't dare to go near

i'm counting up the memories and the sacrifices
i'll spend them on you honey i don't care what the price is
i'm testing several theories hoping to prove the same thesis
but there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this

worry my mind, furrow my brow sweetheart
i'm sweating bullets sweating you out
how can i let you go when i still hope that hope exists
i know
there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this
still i just sit here hoping at a lonesome time like this

hope springs eternal
or so i've been told
but i know it's terminal
even hope gets sick, gets old
oh faith you fickle friend
you bargain and seduce
disguised like a goddamn godsend
just pretended to know the truth

if it was lies why have I been
holding all my breath in
waiting for the big exhale
i guess there comes a time to say goodbye to
throwing pennies in a wishing well

they say you can’t miss what you never had
here’s my objection
i’ll never miss something half as bad
as relying on the lie of reconnection
hope keeps a journal
but words are cannon fodder
grim reaps maternal
grim reaps daughter

May Let Go of June

may let go of june
there was no other way for her to bloom
it was no easy thing; it took all of spring
she didn't leave her behind
she just gave her some room
may let go of june

june turned to july
she said does saying hello mean saying goodbye?
cause retrospect is gonna break my neck
but the future is bright
and I know why
june turned to july

may, june and july felt a gust of wind
fall flew by; offered a hand to lend
you know if time stood still, nothing would heal
seasons would stall; wounds wouldn't mend
may will come around again

Hope Stops Breathing

Verse: C F G C
Chorus: C F Dm G C F G C
Bridge: C Dm G C

sometimes you gotta let go of the good
to make a little room for a little great
sometimes you gotta do what you know you should
let the hope just suffocate

when the hope stops breathing
maybe i’ll stop believing
in a love that won’t come to pass
when the hope starts dying
maybe i’ll stop trying
to turn fiction into fact

i always seem to choose
metaphor over reality
but just this once i will refuse
and say i loved you
quite literally

there was peace outside your window tonight
but i drew the shade babe, and stayed
so the hope stays alive
and i try with all my might
to get you to come outside with me and play
