I feel most at home in the heat Underneath weeping trees I find it most suiting when you’re slow with me If all my dreams were coming true I’d be having them next to you But dreams are made to make up for the truth You tasted like a secret Or a feeling I could never forget And when you left it still stuck to my lips If all my dreams were coming true I’d be having them next to you But dreams are made to make up for the truth I’ll love you through all tomorrows And whatever else it is that follows I’ll love you through all tomorrows And whatever else it is that follows

I want to be the cigarette lit between her lips Gayer than the holidays Or the harness on her hips But I’m broken like a dog I sit, I come when called I’ll do their tricks and keep to the yard
3.
Thunder overhead be a halo Or the silhouette of a stage Or sounds to bring them home Memories light the lawn No one is sleeping Still your voice comes on Please stay with me Hold me in your song Oh, I feel it in my chest Bound and broken How I want to love in the open In the faces I call home In the face that I call home I admit I’m still learning How to be loved, how to survive We wake to a different morning Those who dream beyond the night
4.
You made me your prince Instead of making me over I had the bandage on for so long I forgot what was broken We stand together in the clearing With you, I feel the debris settling into possibilities With you, I feel the debris settling into possibility But oh, I miss my southern queens And their spring fed dreams And roots that steep up to cypress knees And all the weight of everything Comes more than goes On bending bodies With so much to hold I want to know home And my voice wants its own body When I’m alone staring up at a freckled ceiling I can’t seem to think much else of anything Oh, I can’t seem to think much else of anything Oh, I can only be

Broken Teeth 02:08
Were they wasted afternoons? I learned the most after school Holding your body like an heirloom I have dreams of broken teeth Playing on repeat Still no one craves your underneath like I do On a polaroid of the sun, you wrote “Never stop looking up”
