1.
St. Dymphna 04:23
She told me she had a dream I walked out with everything The world was on fire outside She clung to my dress and cried In every apocalypse We read from her favorite script I’m always the Orpheus I look back, she turns to mist But I know In her mind The world ends all the time I’m not a fighter I’m just one dress lighter
2.
Could be Would be Will he Won’t he Academic luxury Would you what if just for fun Would you what if with a gun What if you knew you’re hurting me With droll dismissive inquiry I know you’re just talking shit But the devil doesn’t need another advocate Hypotheticals are fine For scientists and storylines But the only thing you’re proving Is that you’re not worth my time If you really think I’m right Why do I feel left behind Just be on my side I know you’re just talking shit But the devil doesn’t need another advocate (just be on my side)
3.
St. Francis 03:13
Francis prayed some pretty words But rhymes can keep the grief obscured Till we become our enemies In the name of empathy To be understood, understood Why’s it wrong to hope we could Be known, be loved, to be consoled Be held, not only just to hold Swimming through our centuries It’s not too much to ask for these
4.
St. Gertrude 03:10
A man in a lawn chair A beer in a glass A gentle hand reaching For the cat in the grass The farther he reaches The more shifts the shape To evade the connection The slowest escape Is this how he likes it Is this how they love Or does he think this is All he’s worthy of Is this how they like it Is this how they love Or does he think this is All he’s worthy of
5.
St. Genesius 04:27
6.
St. Cindy 03:51
A dream is a wish your heart makes When you’re fast asleep In dreams you will lose your heartache Whatever you wish for you keep Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing The dreams that you wish will come true
7.
Sun separated silhouettes Merged our shadows when it set Left in turn to answer calls Still returned to warmed wood walls Swept the shadows from our doubts Kept the nasty weather out Farmed the space between our solitudes Grew something that we both could use Listened to learn to redefine Words we’d heard a million times Wrote a rosy resume Sometimes hurt each other anyway You used your hands to find the song in me To manipulate a melody We lent our limbs to fill our other needs Dedicated sweat to equity As I dissolve into dirt just know It was a pleasure to do the work
