lyrics

recedes the fear in me
christmas cans of kerosene
needles spitting caroling
hickory split comes barreling

back before burying
barely anything
it gets me underneath
and out from under me

like something out of reach
when i hear my father preach
the choir sounds so sweet
old friends and new meet

back bending carrying
clarity seeks
sparing the weak
days turn to weeks

light that the candles bring
the mantlepiece
delicate handling
caring for thee

holds hope
the rain will come again
I know
when summer ends
and some are spent
come and rest
didn’t break but bent

at the end of last year I turned twenty five
a few less people by my side
than at first I thought I’d find
but it's been a little bit
and I’m feeing fine

write another song
reuse the same rhymes
I guess I’m trying to find
a kind of consistency

you passed on by
a path away from me
standing up ahead saying
come and look and see

don’t you understand
I see it differently
my eyes have lied before
I couldn’t quite believe

try though i may
my name sake
the seeds
falling beneath
their family trees

i start to slip
and get in my way
not meeting my needs
not meaning what i say

something i had missed
turn past my old street
with kindness treat
what can’t be fixed

bite my bottom lip
on my canine teeth
accidentally
making it bleed
