So I ran faster
But you caught me here
Trip me up
Eat me up
Make me come to you
Stolen from my mother
Stolen and reborn to you
Stolen and reborn
Stolen and reborn
How many others?
Congregations bow to you
Trip them up
Eat āem up
Make them run from me
Stolen from my LOVEinā
Stolen and reborn to you
Stolen and reborn
Stolen and reborn
Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away?
Run away (from you)
Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away?
Run away (from you)
Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away from you?
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run awayā¦

this is how we unfeel your hands on our bodies
this is how we unfeel your breath on our neck
this is how we unfeel your commitments inside us
this is the long, long way we have to go yet
is the victimā¦ ?
is the perpetrator too?
is the victimā¦ ?
is the perpetrator too?

but you donāt wanna waste her life, now do you?
whereās she gonna fly now you pushed her out?
and just how much pretending can you stand to do?
where you gonna go with all this trauma porn now?
is the victimā¦ ?
is the perpetrator too?
is the victimā¦ ?
is the perpetrator too?
is the victimā¦ ?
is the perpetrator too?
and is the victim too?
is the perpetratorā¦ ?
and theyāre all walking on eggshells around us
little do they know thatās just exactly where you hide
and all these cracks you rang into my womb so carelessly
now every single one will let the light inside
and they will See you
as the victim
as the perpetrator too
as the victim
as the perpetrator too
as the victim (the victim)
as the perpetrator too (the perpetrator)

what made it hard to LOVE me was not my belly fat
not my demanding and Dangerous Womanhood, not any of that
now Iām gone
and Iām screaming my own name
what made it hard to rate me was not my nimble mind
not my brainwashing, Dangerous Womanhood, nothing of the kind
now Iām gone
and Iām screaming my own name
what makes it hard to find me is not my dissociation
not my intensity, no guilt by association
now and forever here
screaming my own name
now and forever here
screaming my own name
now and forever here
screaming my own name

BARE

I told the truth
My story is bare
Exposed my bones
Into this nightmare
Now everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
When you put your shame away (away)
Down on the other side
I know weāll beat them on that day
The day before your story lied
Oh but nothing
Could keep our stories tied
The more you left me
The more I tried
Now everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
When you put your shame away (away)
Down on the other side
I know weāll beat them on that day
The day before your story lied
When you faded away
Into your own right story
Did you know you left me here alone?
I canāt let go my own
Did you forget?
The story I told
Included yours
Included you whole
Now everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
When you put your shame away (away)
Down on the LOVEinā side
I know weāll beat them
GOD knows weāll beat them
The day before your story lied

you go down
you go down
you go down
you go down
when the sky will spin and the earth will fall
when you know now you are nothing
nothing at all
you go down
you go down
you go down
when the water runs red and the fire burns blue
and the tethers now are nothing
nothing to you
you go down
you go down
you go down
when the earth does shake and the sky does call
when you know now we are nothing
nothing at all
we go down
when the fire grows cold and the water rusts
the illusions now have nothing
nothing on us
we go down
we go down
we go down
we go down
we go down
we go down

We didnāt know how to play
Raising ourselves on our own
But these doors, they didnāt get there by themselves
And I know itās late
And youāre tired as the day is long
Thatās the way it goes
This is the way we do
Thereās a way back to Youā¦
***
our Queendom come
our will be done
so it must be
ātill the battle is won
let this moon shine down
let this lost be found
let the blood of our wombs
be shed into the ground
our Queendom come (so it must be)
our will be done (so it must be)
so it must be (so it must be)
ātill the game is won
let this moon shine down
let this LOVE be found
let the blood of our wombs
flow into the ground
Rock that heart alive
Rock this soul awake
Nod your head once, twice, forever
For everyoneās sake
Take us from grey to glory
All our colors on display
Air to breathe, ground to break, hearts to heal
Never concealed again
Thatās the way it goes
This is the way we do
Thereās a way back to You
Thatās the way it goes
This is the way we do
Thereās a way, all the way back to You

Sunday morning I knewā¦
If someone is being a rabbit, the fox* will scare the crap out of āem.
Iām sorry, do I offend?
āāāāāā
Iām still walking these paths from which youāve disappeared
Your white tail the last I saw of you
Iād just like to see you sometime
Seeing back at me
Iād sure like to see you
Whole, like I thought I caught a glimpse of in the darkness
Do I keep looking till I see you again?
A white tail alone will never be enough
I want it all
Fox Bear Rabbit Everything
* = embleer elil = stinking enemy in Lapine

Death of October
and the trees are stripped bare
suddenly
when you could, you could, you could
be a god
right along with me
the prouder they stand (in your bed)
the harder they fall
the louder they demand (in your bed)
the harder they fall
the crowd in their hands (in your bed)
the harder they fall
let them fall away (from me)
Death of October
and Queendoms rise
in my eyes (we can)
when we could, we could, we could
we could, we could (we can)
we could (we can)
we could (we go on)
(we can)

the catās eyes, so sunny by day
cast a chilly glow last night
seven stars were reflected there
she watched them dip into the light
she watched them dip into the light
Selenaās eye was opening
to guard the rainbow souls
the cat saw them ripple on high
dreamed about them colored whole
she dreamed about them colored whole
this was a dawning mystery
sheād never known before
she watched until her souls grew tired
and then she dreamed about them more
then she dreamed about them more
