about

There is a time for listening to the bones. To the indestructible. To that which holds the stories. Now is that time.

lyrics

Here the quiet with my feet in the moss
A spontaneous funeral
A knowledge of loss
Losses they scream out
From every screen
And there’s the loss of my certainty
Cause lately it feels like
the world is a runaway train
And we’re bracing for impact
With all of this heartbreak
and this separation
I sure hope that love makes a comeback...
So exit the matrix
The good people say
But I’m not sure how to
Fight the power these days?
There’s no going back though
Now that I under stand
Im just trying to make a home
On this stolen land
Cause we built our cities
on graveyards of cultures
Told that we ought to forget it
But do you not know
that the dead keep their teeth
And will chew all the wires in the engine..?
I will listen to the bones
Buried underneath these makeshift fragile thrones
I will walk out in the night
Letting the future ones be my guiding light
I will hold on to the thread
That is weaving a new story now instead
I will listen to the bones…
And there is the new story I have been told
A story that breaks us out of the mold
And in this story we live without fear
interconnected we make beauty here
And oh how I long for the sacred reunion
That so many of us are craving
That we would finally be woven together
And live like the earth is worth saving...
