about

Living in the woods, lonely, processing dysfunctional relationships I was intentionally removing myself from.

lyrics

You got a spirit that wants to give in, fully surrender, but still hold up your chin. I got a nature that understands the need to improvise when you shoulda been makin’ plans.
But I wasn’t calling you an idiot, can’t you see my soul hitchhiking down the street from it’s busted chariot?
No one could build a temple in which they could hide from decay,
And no one stops for broken spirits in this day and age.

You swing low, you swing so low.

The only romance I know is under the canopy, where I learn something from the alder trees. How the wind seduces them right out of their seeds and the big ones watch the little ones come up in the shade by the stream.
The hottest I get is a smoky fire and it’s a busted-chariot, wood-burn pile.
With the oak and the alder and the fir-gotten dreams. And the cedar needle crackling to tell me a consoling story.

You swing low, you swing so low.

Come here and look directly into my eyes.
I wouldn’t do you like that, I couldn’t if I tried.
I look in yours and you’re a hundred million miles away.
High in pride’s chariot, the wood will burn in regret’s flames.
