Heart Drops

I was hoping that you'd change your mind.
I was hoping that you would be mine.
I was hoping that you'd decide that I was worth it.
But in the end, I guess, I don't deserve it.
I was stuck on moments when it seemed like it could work.
Moments of you and me against the world!
But that's just how it seemed.
I was focused on forgetting that love will let you make-believe
A safety netting.
But the illusion stops, when your heart drops.
The illusion stops, when your heart drops.
What if things were different? Like if we stopped, and hit reverse?
Like what if you were honest and I levelled out my nerves?
I'd be calmer, you'd be kinder. But the view would still be the same.
The trick of love would see us through 'til one of us bailed on that game.
And the illusion stops, when your heart drops.
The illusion stops, when your heart drops.
It drops, it drops until it hits the bottom.

Call In

The future looked bright from behind this window.
A year ago, or maybe more.
A little time didn't seem so bad.
But the date kept pushing back and back and back and back.
My eyes have gone square, the corners cut into my brains,
As I stare and stare and stare, bearing witness to the ways
We aim to connect, but often divide.
Call in all the pain, it was spread in different ways.
Draw the net back in, tuck it all under my skin,
Isolated and contained.
There's been a lot of time to ruminate on all the ways that
I've carried heavy moments and distributed my pain.
Clearing out the cobwebs to reveal bigger rooms
Full of armoires full of linens that are covering up my truth.
Call in all the pain, it was spread in different ways.
Draw the net back in, tuck it all under my skin,
Isolated and contained.
The hours seem to stretch and shorten at the same time,
While global crises circle 'round my mind.
Crowded by the knowledge of my neighbour's suffering,
Inducing lizard brain, and my reaction is FREEZE.
As loved ones die, we're waiting for the day to gather about it.
But instead we grieve separately.
Let's celebrate their lives when this is all over.
When is this over? When is this over?
Call in all the pain, it was spread in different ways.
Draw the net back in, tuck it all under my skin,
Isolated and contained.
All wrapped up inside my brain.
Finding places for the pain, while isolated and contained.

In Agreement

I was so clumsy in my early twenties,
I'd tell you more, but the memories are fuzzy.
I tried for better but the mess set upon me.
Held me down and wouldn't let me stop hitting myself.
In agreement, in agreement, in agreement, in agreement
Violent agreement with myself.
Got to a point where I was sick of my own sht,
This I knew, but I still couldn't own it.
So I said yes to things I should have said no to,
But isn't that just something that everybody goes through?
In agreement, in agreement, in agreement, in agreement
Violent agreement with myself.
I lost the beat. Lost a few in a row.
Laid down to let it pass, but it just never did.
So I lost even more.
I finally hit a wall, took it to the head.
It hurt like hell, but the stars were sure pretty.
I dusted myself off and gathered my grief and I said,
"It's time to get to know you."
In agreement, in agreement, in agreement, in agreement
Violent agreement with myself.
Safe to say, I feel a lot different these days.
I feel a lot different, feel a lot different, feel a lot different...

Trippin'

Trippin' along to work today, trippin' to find the things to say
To keep me merrily on my way
I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I've tripped.
With all that's around me, all that's around me, all that's around me
I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin'
Trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I've tripped.
Trippin' on how all that I see is only ever seen by me,
And the "me" you see, when you see me, is only seen by you.
With all that's around me, all that's around me, all that's around me
I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin'
Trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I've tripped.
Trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin'....
Going down, down, down, down.
Down, down down, down.
Trippin' on all the things to say to keep the critical wolves at bay.
Been 36 years of fighting each day.
Trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin', I'm trippin'....
