Worth Trying

If she sees a finger she's gonna bite it
If she gets an urge ain't gonna fight it
Running in circles ain't good for your brain
If you keep it up girl they're gonna put you away
It's all worth trying
She grew her hair down to her toes
It swept the floor when she moved around
Drank from a straw when she had to eat
Gotta get creative these days when you're trying to stay clean
It's all worth trying
Got a plan that's gonna set us free
It's all in those stars if you know how to read em'
I wish I could make you feel all the ways you wanna feel
I wish you could do the same for me
It's all worth trying

Stuck Here For All Time
04:20

Oh hey!
We meet again
I’ve lost all time and space
And not sure you’re my friend
The colors overlap but are so misaligned
I’ve taken so much time but it’s still on my mind
I can’t escape
I’m chronically confused
Time marches on but I feel like I won’t improve
Can’t look away but it runs straight through my head
Ponder the angles, really feel the dread
I want more...
Not sure what for
But I am coming for you
you’re warned, sit tight
I’m stuck here too.
Stuck here like glue
Stuck here with you
I’m tired and empty and lament the times before
Don’t know what happened but I hurtled to the fore
I cross the line and can’t get up out of this seat
Can’t sleep at night and my existence is a feat
I pave the way for the rain inside my head
Ponder the story and continue to feel dread
Go forth pretending I don’t care what lies ahead
I can take it in stride
I have much time on my side
I want you to bring me inside
Want off this ride I don’t want more
But I... I deserve more
I think about whether I could just look away
Go forth pretending I don’t miss the things I say
But it’s apparent what we had just isn’t there
I can’t move on; I’m stuck just hoping for repair
I can’t move on
I’ll just stay here for all time
Until, until, I can wipe from my mind
I’ll wipe it from my mind
So I’m not stuck here for all time

Just watch the body glow
And erase the shadows,
I feel they’re coming for us
Don’t wanna be victorious
But, how can they ignore us?
When we’re burning like a forest
So inefficient, love
With heat caused by friction
The government has warned us
Those things might make you nauseous
So before you escort us,
The ubiquitous and luminous
Showing redundancy
Replaced so suddenly
I feel they’re coming for us (Incandescently LED)
Don’t wanna be victorious (Incandescently LED)
How can they ignore us? (Incandescently LED)
When we’re burning like a forest (Incandescently LED)

The Harp

When the earth was water he fell from his momma’s knee
Dove into the dark tumultuous waves
Of the starlit sea
Sing us a song Väinämöinen
Play us a song Old Reliable Väinämöinen
He reached into the briny abyss black as pitch
Pulled up a giant pike
Made himself a Pike-bone harp
Stuck out his thumbs to strum
His world into existence
Sing us a song Väinämöinen
Play us a song Old Reliable Väinämöinen
When the earth was water he sang himself precious things
Sang what he wanted to hold
Sang what he wanted to grow
The notes spread like tiny seeds

Advice

Every time she’s up I’m way too low
Every time I’m high she’s in the hole
Hush now friend lets take a drive
We don’t always have to see eye-to-eye
I don’t wanna take your advice
I don’t wanna hear your thoughts on life
I don’t wanna take your advice
You don’t wanna see me cry
Sometimes the world is in your palm
Hard to imagine anything going wrong
Sometimes the fear of everything
Holds you in the grip of its tyranny
When everyone is tall and shadowing
When everything is small and has no meaning
We walk on the edge of a sharpened knife
We don’t wanna be the friends who always cry

Dark times drive this desperation you don’t see
While I grasp for secrets so quietly
_____________
Are you coming around tonight
If you’re late it’s fine and okay with me
You’ll see...
when you arrive
I’ve most likely died
And buried everything
What you can bring
Won’t mean a thing
Unless it’s to please
Our need for unease
Tie me up until I cannot breathe
Cut the lights now
Or I’ll close my eyes
It’s not what I need
And you agreed? Right? You’re right there with me?
A little thank you
It’s all I can give
Just don’t talk to me
And don’t watch me breathe
What you say
Can’t break them away
The hurt’s what we crave
That’s why you can’t stay
I can be brave and watch what I say
I’ve got nothing to say about you
I’m doing fine keeping away
From the things I can’t say
Touch me now
I’m far away
So very far away
And that’s where I’ll stay

Close the blinds for the time you’ll find
when she’s
gone
I’ll be there for you
Nights hit hard and I let down my guard
When it fails — I don’t want me too
The time away’s left me down & and I’m grey
And I doubt that I’ll follow through
The months that have passed and I’m searching at last
What I’ve found’s kept me lonely & blue
I’m the ride when the gulf gets too wide
And you need a helping hand through
It’s a ways from the taxing past days
But we’ve kept it from killing us too
Seasons change but I’m down for the same
If you want me I’ll be there for you
Once it’s gone does it all fade away
And the memories disappear too?
Your eyes
are pulsing
like the stars shining down
on my arm
while I float
in darkness, thinking
Your words
What they mean
To me.
Do mine?
Hit you?
Oh Hey
it’s me
Our screens light up
With thoughts passing through
how’re you?
Wisened eyes
Take them in
And want
what is no longer true
Your eyes
Shine like
The waves that I no longer
Keep as mine
And I’m ready to stop
Thinking I’ve kept it all true
For you
When I’m bound by the violence of you
By the violence of you

Sitting at home at the back of a cave
The Original Francine
Wind blows through a hole in the ground
Informing the melody of her song
Painting pictures of what she eats
What she worships and what she fears
Ochre on the walls ochre on her face
Ochre will line this hidden grave
She the Eternal Seer
The Original Francine Dupuis
Exchanged her mother for the moon
Who gave her life its tidal moods
Exchanged her Father for the Sun
Who gave her power to get things done
Wears the claws of giants beasts
Smokes a pipe made their fangs
Visions of Alder point to the sky
Like the rippling flames of the rising fire
She the Eternal Seer
The Original Francine

When it comes to how I fail to make you feel all the ways you want to feel
You dig deep into your thoughts, dragging out all the doubt you buried at the start
I don’t mind at all when you make me feel small
I don’t care at all cuz I like to feel small
I’m a narcissistic spazz, I’ve got tears and anger pouring out my head
If we’re layers in a canyon wall then I can smile after a while
Happy just to be forgotten
I don’t mind at all when you make me feel small
I don’t acre at all cuz I life to feel small
Look how hight that Old Oak grows, tell us everything we’d ever need to know
Reaching further up while reaching further down
Further in the sky and further in the ground
I don’t mind at all when you make me feel small
I don’t care at all cuz I like to feel small
