LUNAR
I’m gonna feel a little bit of this woman’s scorn
You’re gonna wake up in the morning to a world
that’s a little bit lonelier
When the light pulls back off a sunlit face
I’m gonna close my eyes into a world
that’s a little bit lonelier
that’s a little bit lonelier
Come back to the States, Come back to where your heart sings
Come back to the lake that you never visit anyway
Come find me tonight
I’m seeking a friend to watch the skies
Oh come find me tonight
I could already see myself singing
Come back
Come back
Come back

ANIMUS
She turns back in a straight line
She turns back in a straight line - to bind herself to you
She has your voice, you have hers
You have weakness, she has nerve - bind yourself to her
They say be a good loser but I don’t know how
I’ll be alone in the end, I need a lover right now
Try my hand I’m lost and reaching for you
Somehow………..unlikely as it seems
Something’s hidden in the blind
You are restless, you must find - a woman hanging on a limb
You nearly kissed me in my dream
Your face held close, I could see - you were him
They say be a good loser but I don’t know how
I’ll be alone in the end, I need a lover right now
Try my hand I’m lost and reaching for you
Somehow………..unlikely as it seems
You have reason, you have a hard drive, you have an emptiness
I have plenty, I have the part of you that you have missed
I have secrets, I have a pinpoint, and I have a mother’s knife
For cutting away what you have loved and what sucks you dry
What leaves you dry
and in the nervous silence I have found
anima, animus - staring each other down
staring each other down
anima, animus - staring each other down
staring each other down
They say be a good loser but I don’t know how
I’ll be alone in the end, I need a lover right now
try my hand I’m lost and reaching for you
try my hand I’m lost and reaching for you
try my hand I’m lost and reaching for you
somehow………..unlikely as it seems
anima, animus
you & me

PRESERVED
Driving in a dayless dawn
the mind collapses in song
there’s a lifting in my heart, a turning toward the start of a long road and view
there’s a figuring it out, a smile and a pout, a leaning into
you and I were made as lovers
a wind, a sail
you and I were made as lovers
you look me in the eyes
Standing on a storied shore
There is nothing I would have liked to tell you more
there was something in your eyes, something in your smile, something that I came to define
as a longing to be near, a longing yet a fear of the other and divine
you and I were made as lovers
a wind, a sail
you and I were made as lovers
you look me in the eyes
you’re a light along the boundless trail, and now
you’re my light along this boundless trail

MAKE ME
I don’t think about you all the time
Just when I want to smile
I don’t think about you day and night
Just when I want to feel good inside
And like I’m new
And oh, you do, you make me
you make me, do I make you?
I might miss you when you’re not around
I prefer it when you’re found
so don’t get lost, don’t get lost
we’ve got a lot of knowing to do
come see this through
And oh, you do, you make me
you make me, do I make you?
Let’s meet at the place
Cobblestones on the ground
a smile on your face
Lets meet at the place
somewhere black & white
where we can embrace
There’s a freckle on your wrist where a kiss should be
there’s a heaving in my chest where your hands should be
And oh, you do, you make me
you make me, do I make you?
I can’t help it that you do
do I make you?

HERE & REAL
He saw it all unfurl
in the bath, in the rain, the damp hair of a girl
she pulled up flowers from the earth and smiled
I remember, they smiled, they smiled
That boy is here
This girl is real
She saw the twilight turn
In the snow, in the leaves, the memory of how to burn
Hand holds hand through thick and thin
a friend will never leave you like a lover
I’ll never leave you like a lover, like a lover
That boy is here
This girl is real
Winter light so small
Winter light so small
What do you think you met me for?
You get one more chance but it’s the
last chance in a sorry string
so buck up now and love me like a
blonde boy should

KISS COMPLETE
You can’t relax
And the feeling lingers
You wear your heart on your sleeve and your anxiety on your fingers
On your fingers
You lay in bed, eating trail mix and chocolate
Haven’t finished a book in weeks I’d say
You’re in a rut, kid
It’s a very old rut, kid
You know it’s yours for the taking
If you could just stop heartbreaking
Baby it’s wrong, it’s wrong, it’s wrong
And you know why
Oh, you know why
I gave it up fast, though I knew I should pace it
Now I’m coming on to you but taking
Second place to a cigarette
I may have a few regrets
You know it’s yours for the taking
If you could just stop heartbreaking
Baby it’s wrong, it’s wrong, it’s wrong
And you know why
Oh, you know why
You’re sweet and kind
You’re plaintive, you’re moody, you’re fretful
And you’re mine
You’re a girl on the edge, lonely for some kind of feeling
Trying to run from the fear that what we had
We’ll never have again
Never have again
Why run from that? Who could ever escape it?
There’s a living and dying to love
And rebirth if you can catch it
Baby let’s catch it

GOLD
I’m being hunted down, hunted down
There is no way to stop the bad dreams
they are hounding me
I’m being pulled and pried, open wide
there is no way to stop the bad dreams
from pouring out of me
And you can watch me
see me in my power
watch me wilt, watch me sour
And you can try me
try me on for size
watch me wither, watch me rise
I’m being hunted down, hunted down
There is no way to stop the feelings
pouring out of me
See me pained and pinned down
tied to a woman’s cry
I am not the beautiful girl in black and white
then you can watch me
watch me come alive
see me wet, see me untied
I’m being pulled and pried, open wide
there is no way to stop the bad dreams
pouring out of me
So come on, come on, come on
Give me something gold
a song, a shell
Give me something, give me something gold
a song, a shell to protect me
from the coming trouble

SWELL
Eighteen years on a witchhunt
Twelve years down in a grave
When the light cracks open
you’re safe, you’re saved
you can’t trust the right hand
you can’t hold the left
cold, summer heart empties
ready for the swell, ready for
ready for the swell, ready for
Smoke churns into the dark night
there’s a whisper hidden in my sigh
sing how the smallest of moments
can make you sure, can make you breathe, can make you fix your sight
I’ve been meaning to tell you
over and again, and again
send me the smallest of signals
I’m
ready for the swell, ready for
ready for the swell, ready for
come close
it’s the only way to find me
come close
it’s the only way to find me
the only way to find me

BRIGHT
I was awake through every night
I would bad dream, and he would write
I was shamed then held on high
I was something, I was a queen all right
A queen all right
and now I know
I know what it’s like
to be bright and then disappear
to be bright
and then disappear, disappear
You were near me from that start
I couldn’t find you, your soundless heart
So much time just pissed away
Shucked and burned out
day after day after listless day
and it seems like you know, it seems like you know
you might know what it’s like
to be bright and then disappear
to be bright
and he makes you disappear, disappear
You’ll see me coming on like an untold truth
You’ll see me coming on, cuz I know what it’s like
To disappear
To be bright
And he makes you disappear
Disappear

PITY
You’re pushing papers, pushing far away
You’re crunching numbers on a life with no pay
You thought you’d landed, you were sitting pretty
but girls lose every time, girls in love, what a pity
What a pity, the girl’s in love
The truth around here is you’ll never get ahead
planning dollars and hours until you’re dead
You look around, you’re filled with quiet fury
Slack-jawed and wondering where it all went
You’ve got your skillset and a winning smile
you heard everyone likes you but you’re in denial
and you’d be right, it seems there’s no one to play with
singing songs with yourself on tape, in your parents’ attic
What a pity, the girl’s in love
Be calm and be quiet
be calm and relax
pull out your pen & your book
and record the loose facts of your life
in a song, in a song or two
What a pity, the girl’s in love
What a pity the girl’s in love with song
What a pity, she’s always in love with a song

UNCOVERED
I had a bad case of hovering under
dreaming and longing, a quiet loneliness
Oh, brooding never got me anywhere
kindness doesn’t help anyone to care
Are you waiting to be
Are you waiting to be
Uncovered? Are you?
Are you?
I was complicit, controlled by the other
I was a cold case, even to myself
Timid and lonely-eyed never helped the slightest bit
you’re in a man’s world now, try to act like you give a shit
Are you waiting to be
Are you waiting to be
Uncovered? Are you?
Are you?
it’s the biggest fucking waste of time
it’s the biggest fucking waste of time
it’s the biggest fucking waste of time
Are you waiting to be
Are you waiting to be
Uncovered?
Uncovered
Uncovered
