Jesus, Pt. 1
03:33

said i’ll see you on sunday morning,
you said you’d see me in hell
sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference
these days
i guess it’s just as well
in that book it is also written
what you seek you shall find
maybe hell and heaven aren’t places like that
maybe it’s all a state of mind
isn’t hatred just a sickness
turning back into itself?
they say i am an abomination,
then i guess i’ll see you all in hell
i grew up thinking there were those people
who had all gone off some deep end
but by the time it was all served
back to me,
those people had become my friends
jesus died with sluts and bastards
jesus died with houses thieves
jesus died with the unwanted
do you think jesus died with me
isn’t hatred just an ignorance
turning back into itself?
they said i am an abomination
so i guess i’ll see you all in hell
oh, i guess i’ll see you all in hell

Mama, In Your Arms

today i’ve got a dollar in my pocket,
tomorrow it’ll be in your billfold
our spirits remain poor where our dollars can’t afford
we’re just passing it around till its gone
if i only have a few days left,
gambling on this ancient borrowed breath
our lungs and trees and all these earthly things
passing oxygen around till its gone
i’ve got a little something for us later
let’s gather all our friends and we’ll get stoned
let’s do it all again like the night that we had met
just passing it around till its gone
i just want a simple life with you honey,
don’t want no bullshit or money
just a place of our own to return to and be slow
in your arms, mama, till we’re both gone
blood sister, my brother, blood others,
don’t you know that love just comes and goes,
and when it is contained, it never will remain
unless you give it all away until it’s gone
give it all away until it’s gone
give it all away until it’s
gone

once or twice, a million times
afraid of losing you, like everything in the end
i was looking for a sign, but you just told me your birthday,
choking on your own spit, just got in the habit of not calling it early
temporal oscillation, we’re saying the same thing
but meaning different things entirely
suddenly you walked in and nothing else existed and you,
suddenly you didn’t exist
time again you said you thought i was selfish
i lost everything in the end, just like you said
people pleasing is boring and you just sent me a sad face,
caught up in your own shit, just got in the habit of not showing up early
yellow-orange skies put you back in my mind
all the nights that i got lost with you
i found a way but the thought stayed like rot in my stomach,
now i wanna vomit, in my tender center, wishing it was better
temporal oscillation, we’re wearing the same things
but saying different things entirely
that night when i walked out, was nothing else existing but you
when suddenly i didn’t exist
suddenly i woke up and nothing else existed and you,
and suddenly you didn’t exist,
i didn’t exist,
we didn’t exist

Free Yourself

i know you’ve been searching for a resting place
i can only hold you, can’t take your place
me oh my, darling, it’s on you and no one else
you’ve got to free yourself
now for the first time, seeing bright futures
must have taken a certain kind of darkness
me oh my, darling, it’s on you and no one else
you’ve got to free yourself
can i admit what i’m thinking is just a shape in the ocean
if i could do it for you you know i would
never thought that i could let go,
but i could
and i did
me oh my, darling, it’s on you and no one else
you’ve got to free yourself
me oh my, darling, it’s on you and no one else
you’ve got to free yourself

her roots have got grit
from being buried underground
so long, so long
and when she is consumed,
you can taste the sweetness she has earned
only from so long
the soil of her hair, the amber on her skin
affecting me like a wind beneath my sternum
and when she is burned, tangled up legs,
wind chimes, our bones
she whispers a new tone into this old room
her vibrations, dear lord her song
he soil of her hair, the amber on her skin
affecting me like a wind beneath my sternum
he soil of her hair, the amber on her skin
affecting me like a wind beneath my sternum
her roots have got grit
from being buried underground
so long, so long
