about

Third single of our upcoming album: Your Body, Up Close//Wake the Animal

lyrics

Remember how my name was changed?
Too scared to talk about the stomach pain?
And you’d be so proud of the weight I gained.
I hope Rudelle doesn’t grow up the same.

And when you tell them that it’s not okay,
they turn around and do it anyway.
Maybe lessons are better learned that way?
The hardest part of the fall
is remembering all
that you gave.

Remember all the dreams we had?
Never encumbered for the mom and dad.
And to think that things were never all that bad…
But now we struggle to hold
and unfold
all the love that we have.

By the way I heard you say:
My love for you won’t change,
and I was overwhelmed
by the way the words we say
keep circling and never seem to change…
Embracing the embraces pulled away
And living for the moment every day.

Remember how you wrote “release”
Into your skin and in the quiet peace
You find yourself no longer begging: please?
But can promise you’ll leave room for me?

Always remind me what you need from me.
For I can’t help you when I cannot see.
I want to hear you when you call for me
And so together we’ll and try
And we’ll try
And we’ll try to release.
