What was I thinking when I bought into your lies Thinking it was love I saw when I looked into your eyes All those tear filled days all those sleepless nights Wishing you were next to me when I turned off the lights But you were never there Never thought about how I fared Pretending you weren't aware of how much I cared I truly believed we were sisters in sound But when I looked into your heart it was emptiness I found As the dew drips down from this lone roses hips In the depths of my heart a broken record does skip What I thought was a beat that would keep us in time Was nothing more than a meter detached from a rhyme But a thread of pain Bound and locked us in twain Every link in this chain another word spoke in vain A loaded game that you can never win Can never fill up that hole deep within Wherever we were you were always a shade Even now in my mind you're refusing to fade You pulled me so close your heart beat through my ears But the gesture did nothing but bolster my fears That id been strung along Seduced by your songs Believing a smile could right all your wrongs As my rose colored lenses turned muddy with tears The shade that was you like dust disappeared

The Only Way 02:56
I'm sorry things had to end this way I was left with no other route I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner I gave you the news as soon as it was out I'm sorry some things never change I'm sorry things got so strange But in the end I began to feel like a little bird in a cage Confined and defined by the bars of your rage I'm sorry to be so cold I'm sorry to have to give in and fold I just couldn't keep trying to turn your lead into gold And passively doing everything that I'm told I'm sorry that I had to ghost I just couldn't stand hearing more of you boast Giving the least and taking the life right from my soul From where I stand there was no other way out

It was the battle i35 There was tear gas rollin cross the summer sky Pennin little piggies back in their stye The bastards cant run but they sure can fly See see, how they run The pigs cant shoot if they dont have a gun But call it non-lethality or call it a stun It boils down to violence any way that it's done Is this really all were fighting for? Face against the wall wrists rattled and sore Tossed my naked ass on a concrete floor And beat me just for walkin out a hospital door See see, how they run The pigs cant shoot if they dont have a gun But call it non-lethality or call it a stun It boils down to violence any way that it's done It was the battle i35 There was tear gas rollin cross the summer sky Pennin little piggies back in their stye The bastards cant run but they sure can fly See see, how they run The pigs cant shoot if they dont have a gun But call it non-lethality or call it a stun It boils down to violence any way that it's done

I've got to slow these moving parts I've got to run far from our fire I'm not like her, I don't play games Not without stakes that fuel your flames Still weary eyes undress my silhouette I've got to let this passion fade I've got to stop changing the rules Are we still friends? Are you still there? Why don't you stop to think or care? Still weary eyes undress my silhouette Lines on a page without contour No exist, mi amour But you can draw me like a flame All that you trace remains the same Still your weary eyes undress my silhouette

about

A few songs about love, longing, and political discontent. One a posthumous letter to a paternal figure lost in time, the other an expression of individual empowerment and overcoming codependency.

I would like to thank the Rose Haven Shelter for Women, Children, and Marginalized Genders, Misfits Bar on 82nd in PDX, my old crew in Trans Pan!c, my partner Rebecca, and everyone who stood in solidarity with me and so many others against unspeakable odds against police brutality, and to those who fell before us to inspire such an uprising.
Thank you to my family and friends back on the southern shores. I miss you dearly.
