Let love be seen, it's wrapped in green
Pile it on, hold out your palms
I got a morning to share with you
Take from the drawer, hang it up on the window
It’s gonna break real soon anyway
It’s a shame
Late for the train, wearing your brand new raincoat
You got it cause you were alone
Dancing in three, it don’t bother me
It’s gonna catch up to you any day
It’s okay
Don’t you dare to be a hero
You’re picking up the one-way stereo
Your favorite television show wasn’t on
And if you could – inside your satellite
The mission would not take all night
It’d be done
When you stopped the moon between the sun
Everybody’s waiting for the way to swim around the mountains
I don’t even sink I just remember when you told me I could

Take it from our backs
Split it down in half
Fakin acrobatics to the courthouse
You can pour out all your satisfactions
Find us on the map
Tear it down the mississippi
20 mile laps around the warehouse
Out in farming country
Another hundred years up in the snow, composite minerals
The moss behind your ears controls the wind up here in general
You savor on your teeth the taste of sap and honey
The fan below your feet, it smells of artichokes and august
It’s off the old
Purple sky between the tulips mountains
Filling up with sediment
The way it went
It wasn’t so much simpler as the winter
Where the snow stuck to your skin
It didn’t melt till spring
It’s on your birthday, Stevie Wonder plays the clavinet
The fiction in your pocket whispers existential epithets
Marigold and lavender, with sticks they burn the wood
The pace picks up, the fountains dead, it’s autumn now for good

Cardboard Demands

Sugarside mountain on top of the hill
A van coming toward me, no people to kill
It wasn’t a daydream, the sky split in two
A dance to the may queen to break in your shoes
Time is just the half of it
You were taking all their hits
Wake up when you’re dreaming fast
You were living deep in their past
Inside the whale you forgot to inspire
Cardboard is stale, the smoke getting higher
The bedroom is twisted, the witch is outside
If you were enlisted, you’d have to confide in me
You were holding up your cardboard demands
Cover your face up, you wouldn’t want to burn your hands
Injury’s secret if you had it in your ear
Opportunities leaking, well it’s been a fucking year

You were a tiny town
O munda fica menor, a cada centímetro perdemos um quilômetro
Las niñas atrapadas en jaulas
Todo por miedo porque
Nosotros somos un pequeño pueblo
Colocamos nossas máscaras quando não temos proteção
Mantenemos a salvo
Cuando el mundo se hace más pequeño
Nosotros somos un pequeño pueblo
Foda-se sua burocracia fascista
Nos passamos o tempo na rua, em um mundo livre
Ninguém pode tirar isso de nós
Cuando una niña se queda dormida por un sueño
Nosotros somos un pequeño pueblo
Nós somos um pequeno povo
[The world is getting smaller, every inch we lose a mile
Children are trapped in cages
All for fear of what
We are a tiny town
We put on our masks when protections are fickle
We keep us safe
When the world gets smaller
We are are tiny town
Fuck your fascist bureaucracy
We pass time in the streets in the free world
No one takes it from us
When a child goes to sleep to dream
We are a tiny town
We are a tiny town]
We are a tiny town

Something for your simple syrup
Take your mind off triple fears now
You sink into the healing salts
Drag your finger, somersaults
Take your time, you have all day now (trees are burning)
Sleep at night, the pills you take now (no one’s turning)
Tangled up in your hair strings
Feeling your skin over water
Fuck it up for the future
Give your love to the new
Don’t you wait for the table
Something you shouldn’t do
But you oo-da oo-da oo-da oo-day
oo-da oo-da oo-da oo-day

[Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter]
How will I know, how will I make the call
When will you go, how will I take it all (wound up)
Bundles of unexpected silence
Running through under-tested sirens
Making it so you can’t confide in
Don’t you know somewhere you can hide in
Touch underneath, find where it takes the rain
Taste from your teeth, stay in the water longer than you should
Finding the grey, purple the perfect air
Wasting the day, walking to go no where’s harder than it looks
[Fuck the Police]

Crumpled pillowcases
Street lights bursting through the fire escape
You were sleeping on the left side
Sheets covering your body like waves
On the grassy patches you were listening to the sun go down
You were waiting for me, I told you not wait around
hotter than the fiction last year
water rising rolling on the
table take the legs off you could
use it it’s like squeeze it from the
bottle pay the rent for the twelve years
if you need a second thought I’ll
be there in a minute I
forgot to charge my phone yesterday
Chewing all the nasal spray
Forget the bookmark take your place
Use your silent memory
Fall into the sensory
On the grassy patches you were listening to the sun go down
You were waiting for me, I told you not wait around

Mourning Sun

If you stood across the avenue
And if you would take a look inside to me
Behind the blinds you’d see
A stranger in the morning sun
Ask me now and you’ll imagine how
It must have felt to happen right in front of you
It’s happening right through
Your jealous arms and you can’t see
So tell me you’re holding the postage stamps
To send me a card from away
If hell is a road with good intentions
It’s far from a place I’d like to stay

Climb the glass until you fall
Every piece until it’s all constructed
It’s reductive
Paper bag you fill it up
Every piece it’s still enough seduction
Heat consumption
Second place is still the best
Anyone can take a test congested
It’s respected
If the fire burns you out
You can turn it upside down, your press kit
So you rest it

I can see it’s love we need, come with me and you’ll be seen
Take my hand, if you expect to be free, we all reflect
Down the way they live in fear, if you stay then you’ll be here
Skies open red, welcome the dead
Yellow the fields, watch them reveal
Your blue demands, fuck 12 where they stand
Let love be seen, it’s wrapped up in green
When we say abolition, we mean love
When we say justice, we mean love
When we say power to all the people, we mean love
When we say freedom, we mean love
I can see it’s love we need
Let love be seen, it’s wrapped in green
