Never Know 02:58
I am someone's sunshine His only source of light, he says He claims he can't live without me He blames me when the skies are grey I lie awake alone Am I mistaken I'll never know I'll never know I sometimes feel possessed I'm careful where I step A prized possession bound and bonded But being loved is not the same As being wanted Why being needed feels like being in control I'll never know I was someone's sunshine I couldn't make him happy But I made him smile For awile I couldn't make my body lie Anymore Don't even know why I tried I'll never know I'll never know

No Use 03:56
The sun was shining Right into my eyes When they told me it was nighttime And I believed them Blinded by those pretty lies Scared of what they said was hiding In plain sight No need to worry bout what you ll never be allowed to know Now I can't unsee you And you know I wouldn't even want to Go back to stumbling through the dark The way that I've been doing Even if I could undo this I'd still know what the truth is No use lying to your heart Don't worry Your pretty little head they said Those fairytales are here to keep you safe and warm I believed them It was kind of a relief to know I would never be in control. Now I can't unsee you And you know I wouldn't even want to Go back to stumbling through the dark The way that I've been doing Even if I could undo this I'd still know what the truth is No use lying to your heart Moments are not created equally Some rush on by Some unfold so slowly Empty, lonely Now I can't unsee you And you know I wouldn't even want to Go back to stumbling through the dark The way that I've been doing Even if I could undo this I'd still know what the truth is No use lying to your heart

Blackbird on a chainlink fence Early morning iridescence Distant traffic dissonant Against the Blue Ridge silhouette I am waiting Waiting for my love to wake Strip mall in a mining town they took the top of this whole mountain down And they're praying for them whole world to stop In this Wal Mart parking lot I am waiitng Waiting for my love to wake It ain't gonna be easy But it's gonna be worth it You already know how much it hurts Letting go of being perfect It ain't gonna be easy But we're gonna make it work You already know Brick by brick on sacred ground Painting over everything Wild and unbound but it's waiting Waiting to break It ain't gonna be easy But it's gonna be worth it You already know how much it hurts Letting go of being perfect It ain't gonna be easy But we're gonna make it work You already know Listen to the hum below Mockingbird she sings the only song she knows You already know You already know It ain't gonna be easy But it's gonna be worth it To love the ground whereon you stand I am waiting Waiting for my love to wake

Stolen Girl Get your heart out You're gonna need it Absolutely sure Even though I never was the kind to believe it So I made a pact in blood Before the facts were in love Spoke too soon But nothing's ever set in stone Stolen glance Just long enough to break a spell Whispered word So soft I'll never tell, I'll never tell Casts doubt everytime The light turns Can't see the lines can't see the lines And this shadow inverts And it moves the whole earth Out of orbit Out of time Eclipsing all reason And changing my mind Changing my mind Falling star Could be the death of everything Unless we already are So far there's no proof that this isn't all a dream Barely brushing past each other Waiting to collide Theia and Gaia it's just a matter of time And it moves the whole earth Out of orbit Out of time Eclipsing all reason And changing my mind Changing my mind

Weathervane Wind whipped spinning every which way East to West wind then East again I don't know what direction I'm heading But a storm's coming I don't know where my head is A storm's coming I don't know where my heart lies Forgiveness is tempered by time And a storm's coming Another year in a heady decade Trying to navigate the mess we made Trying to keep my head above the waves I wade into the wake A well worn route A tattooed map Just another way to make the universe laugh The ink's still wet There's something beneath the skin Your heart is an anchor tangled in anger I can't take the weight I'm waiting for my love to wake This is the last song I'll sing for that shell I was This is the last song I'll sing For the shell I was for you

Oh the Mississippi's weary Of all the secrets she must carry It's time we drank our own mistakes Notes folded into bottles And tossed into the water Come to shore someday All the centuries of waiting The guilt is suffocating It's time I faced my own mistakes I wade into the wake And I'm down on my knees once again It all floats away It all floats away The pain and the ache It breaks On the banks of yesterday It all floats away And out to sea Only time will tell You gotta pay the storyteller That debt can wait another day So pass around the bottle and sing along Till you believe every word that they say Till it all floats away It all floats away The pain and the ache It breaks On the banks of yesterday It all floats away And out to sea Leapt like vines in a sickening heat Can't unwind Can't even breathe Pray for time pray for release pray for rain Until it all floats away It all floats away The pain and the ache It breaks On the banks of yesterday It all floats away And out to sea

Ecdysis 03:45

about

Ecdysis was completed with a generous grant from Prince George's County Arts and Humanities Council (PGCAHC).

Ecdysis is the process of shedding skin. You retain your shape for the most part, you continue to be what you were, yet you have left something behind. Ecdysis is growth and the embracing of change.
