She was born
Came out second
Calm and cool like water
Letting everything roll off her back
Except for the world itself
When you entered the world
She offered it her shoulder
There it would stay
for a while
She carried the world and its worries with her
wherever she went
It became her closest friend
Even though she didn't fit in
She was the world's place
But the world wasn't hers

Fold your life in shapes
See all you have made
Put them all in jars
Bring them to the fire
Origami fire
Lay what you've made on the pyre
Watch it unfold and fight
In origami fire
Burn all you don't need
Keep all you can keep
Then when you're alone
You will be at home

The Shakespeare stars are out tonight
They’ve known all along
They even been rehearsing for
When I’d sing this song
They’re not keeping secrets
We’ve known the whole time
Not even they can keep it
From showing in the sky
You know
And I”ll know
When it’s our time
So you go
And I’ll go
And we’ll be fine
Hmmmmmmm it’s heavy stars
Hmmmmmmm it’s heavy stars
The birthday stars are out tonight
Spelling out our names
Not even they can get it right
With ancient wishing games
They’re screaming out our future
They’re whispering the past
Not even they can try to make
This stillborn love last
And you know
And I know
When it’s our time
So you go
And I’ll go
And we’ll be fine
Hmmmmmmm heavy stars
Hmmmmmmm heavy stars
The heavy star is bursting now
It’s been 6 million years
There is no reversing
The seven layer spheres
Everything is old now
Everything is young
I’m not going cold now
But I know this star is done
You know
And I know
That it’s our time
So you go
And I’ll go
And we are fine
Hmmmmmmm heavy stars
Hmmmmmmm heavy stars

Weird Ghost, apparition
You’re host, to superstition
Nine lives, on the table
Walking under ladders, black cat’s cradle
Deep cracks, in the sidewalk
What's that? Now it’s my fault
One more, broken mirror
Even more proof bad luck’s getting nearer
You are my weird ghost
I’ll be your weird ghost
I’ll haunt you the most
Have you seen my ghost?
What’s that? A reflection?
White light, your resurrection
Who’s that, on your shoulder?
Angels and demons, fighting over your soul
Blank cares, where you kept me
Red stairs, where you left me
Our death, on the doorstep
Digging our graves since the day that we met
I was, your salvation
You were, my devastation
We thought we’d live forever
Here we are playing ghost games in the ether
You had, my attention
My bad, I forgot to mention
That I'll be haunting other houses
Packing my sheets since the day I stopped counting
We are walking the lines of egg shell blades and broken glass pieces
We are phasing the time with pipe dream lies and fairy dust chases
We are climbing up the walls listening for voices that live in the air vents
We are punching the ceiling, everyone knows we’re too far for healing
I’ll be your weird ghost
I’ll be your weird ghost
I'll be your weird ghost
Have you seen my ghost?

Colors

Breathed into the earth
To paint it in our colors
With our transparent ink
We won't cover the others
I'll meet you in the day
We'll trade each other colors
And when you go away
We will still have our colors
'Cause we can't help
Painting others with ourselves
I'll meet you in the night
We'll count each other's colors
And when we seal the light
We won't forget our colors
'Cause we can't help
Painting others with ourselves

I am convinced that everyone should have at least one death and one rebirth everyday.
A synaptic and spiritual unraveling
Coiling back into a shape
That looks the same
But is different.
No one should
lay down
to go to sleep
in the same bed
as the same person
when they awoke that day.
