When she looks at me
she only sees herself,
but I am nothing like her.

She didn't want to be 
the only one.
She took me with her.

Says I am nothing
"Look at me, she says
I am nothing. 
No, disagree," she says
"I am something, say it
Please

Me, again. Say,
"It's not about me,"
my friend.

Until you believe, 
my friend,
believe me.

Alone again
I'll find home
again

I'll come back to you.

I lost him
my little bird
today

I lost him
He flew
away

When I find him
I'll put him
on my arm

And I'll promise
He'll never
Come to harm

I lost him
my little bird
today

I lost him
but I begged him
to stay

Some things I
guess you
cannot change

But without you
this life feels
so strange

As long as I am here
You are here

As long as you are gone
I'll sing your song

My blue, blue, blue, blue jay
Has flown, flown, flown away

Lying in brushes
And blankets of flowers
Dozing to footsteps
For hours and hours

Sleeping in sunlight
Each day for a year
Awaken for gentle Moon to
Illuminate my fears

Hoping harsh Sun will forget me
Let me slip through the cracks
And hide from the day
Why's it matter anyway

This state of being, for me, 
always fleeting.
I would do anything to make it longer
make it last if I could.
Desperate for this 
equilibrium at the center
Neutral neutrality
Engaged, safe,
Honest, observational
Ready, at peace,
Serious, lovely, 
laughing, all at once.
Sandpaper and gravity-
Digestion and clarity
Sandalwood and peanut butter
Brown, dark brown, and red. Hot against my face
Red against my blue
Touch me everywhere
I want to feel you.
Reach into my chest
Can I swim in my own arteries?
The pleasure of living, not euphoric-
The sincerity of contentedness
Makes me want to
Freely, I feel free

I find myself doing
Everything I can do
To make life beautiful
Beautiful for you
And your mind
But why
Not mine?
Why not mine?
Why not mine?

Poor daddy is a sad man
And he's got a reason why
But momma tells him not to worry
Watch his daughter catch her fly

No my daddy's not a bad man
But a man can never rest
Since Horse and Frog can't quite obey
He's gotta show them who knows best

My daddy's got so much to say
But at the end of every day
He's gotta bathe his foggy daughter,
His wife expects her bale-o-hay

But I just want to play,
I beg my daddy every day
But every time he throws the ball
I get so scared, I hop away.

Yeah my daddy is a sad man
Because momma bore a frog.
Oh I feel so bad for daddy
Because he ain't got a dog.

Of course my daddy is a sad man,
How can daddy love a frog?
Even I feel bad for daddy,
Every man deserves a dog.

The seed you planted
Has been sown
And in that spot
A tree has grown
And with my tools
Of twig and stone
I dig up root
All on my own

To follow you home
But I can't
Follow you home
No, I can't
