Arrival

The space is turning pink
Where the skin of the mountains meets the sky
And the howling of the wind
Waltzing with the needles of the pines
Wake up
Wake up
And the quiet colors bleeding
Into something calculated in the mind
As if all the worlds created
With the naming of a rhythm that we find
Wake up
Wake up

Feral

Do you breathe like we do?
Do you eat like we do?
Can you see in the dark, through the fog,
and far beyond?
If your blood runs hot
and your feral heart
is howling from the hollows
That‘s our truest part
Do you sleep
with ears to the wildwood?
Do you love anybody?
Do you need a hand to hold?
Oh, how little we know
Oh how little we know
Oh how little we know
As for the words we hold
The tongue is just a bird
With the memory of fossils
And a song again unheard
We excavate and melt
Undress the quiet nest
Will you tell me of tomorrow
with your feral flesh?
Oh how little we know
Oh how little we know
Oh how little we know

You said there’s nothing left of
The man you used to be
You think that you’re a coward
It’s hard for me to see
You in that light
You never found your forest
My naked mountain tree
When the winds backbreaking
There’s nothing left to be
But strong in your stance
You said we need purpose to live
But are we different than an elephant?
So if you take that story
And cut into her chest
You cut into her chest
You open up the rest
If you knew how much i love you
Would you let it leave you to grow?

Babushka

Babushka, I know you are worrying
I know you are worrying
Babushka, every morning you pray
for my health
But who will take care of you?
And who will worry about you?
So, we drove to the cemetery
You, mom, and I
We went to Baba Liza’s grave
and left her old stones
Where would you like to lay?
Where the grass and sun are the sweetest
Babushka, forgive me
I’ve never sang in this language
Your tongue
Babushka, who were you before all this
Tell me, what did you see every day?
Where would you like to lay?
Where the grass and sun are the sweetest
Babushka, I know you are worrying
But G-d is all around us
And in our eyes

Green

No one will save you
No one will save you
No one will save you
Losing love
Feels like
Climbing up a wall with no hands and no feet
And no place to fall safely
No one will save you
Loneliness is green
Not ripe to be eaten
Waiting for the spring
Loneliness is green
Witness your eyes
Fallen to demise when
No one can see what you believe
No one will save you
No one will save you
No one will save you
In the quiet of the morning
Walking down the street
Listening to your feet
Your feet breathe more than ever

Greenfield I am
at a loss for words
Your hills are rolling down
I don't know where they go
O, familiar view
O, familiar you
The hook is in the sweater
I’ve been wearing every winter
Unfurling getting better
But also getting colder
If there is a way
to escape the body
it’s love
If there is a way
to lose your way home
it’s love
Sitting ‘round the table
Vegetables arranged for the night
It’s quiet
The trees don’t do much talking now to you
You don’t even know
how far they go
Lovers come
and they dine
with you heart
and recline
If there is a way
to escape the body
it’s love
If there is a way
To lose your way home
It’s love
Together we write
songs and stories all night
For whom and for what?
Only to recognize
that time is time
It curls like smoke
It goes for miles
It goes, it goes and goes
Greenfield,
I’m at a loss for words
Your hills are rolling down
And I don’t know where they go
O, familiar view
O, familiar you
