So its always been We're taught aging is a sin We're taught bodies are broken So its always been We trade for brand new baby's skin For a fragile face of porcelain I once was innocent child's breath on my lips a seedling coddled in soil reaching for the surface kwiaty są piękne picked to display then thrown away their hands grasping to feel mouthless bodies, faceless frames I am more than you allow me to be

Hold On 03:11
hold on, dear hold on, dear wait patiently for the sky to clear hold on, dear the storm has come and everybody’s gone the storm has come and you are on your own the rain is cold but you refuse to go home Isn’t it strange how an empty place can feel so full when you’re all alone you hope the lightening strikes you to bring the warmth back to your eyes or the wind to carry you to where your childhood memories lie and now you can’t tell the difference between the rain drops and your tears hold on, dear the rain is cold but you refuse to go home you want to feel everything, feel anything at all I know

The Holocene 03:39
the sun opened wide swallowed up the night the sun climbed the mountain stood up and greeted it’s children the daylight overtook my room like a rising tide I’m slipping into far from shores where I sleep with the sound of my pulse aching in my teeth our hands rake the seabed for artifacts of those who built us from their own bone and flesh the black sky is enveloped in our irises keeping secrets of the unknown and the wondrous Did you hear that all the mountains crumbed? Did you hear theres people in the rubble? All the stars fell down Did you see them, did you see them? All the stars fell down Was it on the television?

Mamidło 02:48
tanczę z niebiem kołysam się wiatrem teraz jestem dzieckiem obawiałam się wszystkiego, wszystkiego obawiałam się to jest za mamidło teraz jestem dzieckiem

summer afternoon hours unfold like flowers in bloom spinning ‘round my room mulling over all the things I think to be true all the birds call out in harmony piercing through the street’s cacophony Is there nothing truer than a mind at peace? racing thoughts upon these roads will take no heed how does summer always seem to steal my youth away from me? year by year the child I once was falls further into memory will my sense of wonder grow as frail as my bones? will we force our dreams to retreat and leave us all to die alone? No, I won’t summer nights poisoned by a frame of streetlights how our voices climb up over our neighborhoods to lace the skyline all the crickets croon in harmony piercing through a night’s debauchery is there nothing truer than a child at play? is there nothing crueler than a book’s last page?

He slipped my hands into the soil with a seed between my palms he said, “we will wait patiently and see what it becomes” but in order for it to grow, I have to let go I have to let go I hope he knows how much I loved him so
