Flies

Why'd you go and make it so
Hard for me to hold the love that you show
We were just kids making it too hard
I don't know who I ever was to you
But I would stay around and let you do the things you do
Well I don't know the girl that you once knew
Because she was waiting for a half heart
But waiting for you only got her so far
In the wilderness with a lonely heart
Well I hope that you know
That I would never take back
The nights of our youth in the gravel on the train track
I suppose, I was chasing a dream with a rope in my hand
Tied to somebody else's plan
How many flies on my windowsill have collected the dust of the wind chill
How many flies on my windowsill have collected in days that we can't kill
Wanted to put me on the right track
Wanted to give til there was nothing left to take back
There was a part of me that you knew you had
You had me believing
That what i really wanted was deceiving
I really wanted you to believe in me
Well there was a time
That I felt so free running down the track with you running next to me
But now, it feels just like a dream
Falling to the ground now it's nothing but a bloody knee
How many flies on my windowsill have collected the dust of the wind chill
How many flies on my windowsill have collected in days that we can't kill
How many times can I put my bet on the fortune we chase into this debt
How many times can I put my bet on the days that I'm trying to forget

Buried In Part

I always wondered when
There would be a way for us
In simple times I'd sing to you
Until the silence filled the room up
I'll never know exactly what
You kept inside of you
But I never trusted myself more
Than when I trusted you
In the soil we'd sown
Little pieces of our souls
What is buried in part
I don't think we'll ever really know
You know I'd calm your troubled mind
If only I knew how I could
We both know that I tried so hard
But I never really understood
I know that you know
How hard it is to let go
What is buried in part
I don't think we'll ever really know
All those years you were the one
While we lay buried in the sun
I wanna rise up from the soil
Even if I am the only one

Golden Age

Hey, what do you say
Let's go for a walk so we can talk about the golden age
I don't wanna let you down
So we can forget for awhile about all the ways we've changed
Don't you think the end is strange
Yeah its been awhile since I put on a smile for your video tape
All you have of me you can fit in a box underneath your bed
Because it used to mean something
I'm not gonna let you keep me standing in the shade
So I'm breaking free from illusion of the golden age
What a mess we made
Now it's so impossible to keep me in the shade
You and the way you hesitate
If you can't be sure about it then how can you be sure of anything
I'm not gonna let you keep me standing in the shade
So I'm breaking free from illusion of the golden age
Hey what do you say
Let's go for a walk so we can talk about the golden age

Setting Sun

I hate the feeling of feeling like I should be somewhere else
Feeling like I deserve what I want without explaining it to somebody else
I wanna take my sunglasses off and step out in the sun
Don't wanna stand in the shadow of what you think you want
You're always talking hypothetically
My life is not a metaphor now honey come on
You just about had every part of me
You might as well take what you have and get going
I wanna know who we are today not who we thought we were
Wanna believe everything that you say but now I'm not so sure
You're always talking hypothetically
My life is not a metaphor now honey come on
You just about had every part of me
You might as well take what you have and get going
My heart for you is now an illusion
It's hard to tell the truth for sure now honey come on
The days we loved are now a setting sun
You might as well take what you have and get going

Walk On By

You said that they'd be disappointed when they found out about me
Then you said she was a one time beauty and it didn't mean anything
You know that I was so unsteady because you always made me weak at the knee
But the feeling it was unfamiliar because you looked like someone else to me
It's alright if you wanna go on tonight
It will hurt for now but it will do some good for you to
Walk on, walk on by
I think that it would do my heart some good if you drove away now
You know you used to love me well but now it's like you don't know how
You know that I would trust you through 107 lies at a time
It's not the way I feel it's just the truth that I can't hide
It's alright if you wanna go on tonight
It will hurt for now but it will do some good for you to
Walk on, walk on by

Hey, what do you say
Let's go for a walk so we can talk
About the golden age
Don't you think the end is strange
It's been awhile since I put on a smile
For your videotape
All you have of me
You can fit in a box underneath your bed
Because it used to mean something
I'm not gonna let you keep me
Standing in the shade
Because I'm breaking free from illusion
Of the golden age
What a mess we made
Now it's so impossible to keep me in the shade
You and the way you hesitate
If you can't be sure about it
Then how can you be sure of anything
I'm not gonna let you keep me
Standing in the shade
Because I'm breaking free from illusion
Of the golden age
Hey, what do you say
Let's go for a walk so we can talk
About the golden age

She wants you to know the truth and it’s evident that she doesn’t shy away from paradox. Her upcoming record Lucky Stars, set to release July 14th 2023, is the afterglow of a starry-eyed daydream where perspective shifts from head-in-the-clouds reverie to the fiercely feminine. ... more
