why feel safe
in this house
feel the walls have eyes
they’re staring at me
feel the eyes closing in
there’s no escape
screaming out, like child
who’s lost his way
the walls are closing in
I cannot breathe
where’s reality…

it’s hardly enough, but I hope it lasts
it’s hardly enough, cross your fingers
I hoarded away all the things that I needed
but it’s hardly enough
and I’m running out, and I’m running out
everything surrounding me

on the other side of the river
swollen and impossible to wade
underneath a canopy of cool dark trees
she’s waiting there for me
see her eyes reflecting in the swiftly moving water
hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

heyday, what a waste
everything’s a blur
the color has faded
static lines across the screen
heyday, no one left

there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel
under the brush creek bridge…

I awake with a song
it saves me from everything
I can’t feel my toes
shiver from the cold
rub, the sleep
from my eyes

clenching teeth
through an iron jaw
your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow
on your porcelain cheeks
there is nothing not a trace
happy, are you?

the weight is heavy
you can barely keep afloat

One of my favorites from this year's album, probably because I didn't have to write the back story.
Little sis wrote a novel called "The Wishmaker" set on an island off the coast of Maine. I'm betting y'all'll be seeing it on shelves soon…

THE LIGHT OF YOUR SMILING FACE
I’ve been warming my hands in the light of your smiling face
I never knew what I was missing
I thought I had it all
Summer fading in the distance
I wasn’t ready for the fall
