Honey, get some sleep. You look like hell Come sit next to me. We’ll say farewell To futures you built in your mind; you know that’s the most dangerous kind Honey, look at me. Remember France? You thought everything was set back then But plans always change and diverge; you know that’s the way of the earth We’re human. Only human. Well, sure… I’ll stick around in New York for a bit I’ll try to forget Virginia I’ll fuck around in the gap til it splits But she and I both know better The moon hangs over our heads And begs Come on home You still know where that is. What’s the problem? Is the road too long? Are there no more songs to sing? Time to write some Honey, drop it now. You’ll lose yourself Take a walk through town. Excuse yourself For God’s sake, get out of your mind. Answers come only with time You’re human. Only human. Well, sure… I’ll walk around my middle school field Remember, repose, and unfetter Pay my homage to the brick and black steel Still, she and I both know better The moon will rise over our heads And beg Come on home You still know where that is. What’s the problem? Is the road too long? Are there no more songs to sing? Fuckin’ write some. Luna, I think you win this one But I’ve got to stick it out til I am welcome Virginia will still be there I’ve got work to do and flesh to fan with fresh air Luna, do you reflect the sun? Or is that a trick you play so we feel welcome? Virginia was always there Lighting lamps and fires just like we do here Well, Luna, I think you win this one But I’ve got to give my buds a chance to blossom Virginia will still be there I’ll work til every shirt I own is threadbare There will be so much after this Who am I to try and say? Blue sky beyond this awful mist Ten thousand sunny days

Trembling while I hold my pen and scratch out words of love You’ve got enough already on your mind Besides, I owe it to the trees and rocks and sky above To generate the love that’s only mine On my knees and clasping hands to look deeper inside Scrub the floors that I ignored when I found you Sifting through the nature and the nurture, take my time With that old neglected childhood friend, the truth I’ll be all right I’ll be ok Sure as stars that fade when night turns into day I’ll write more songs They’ll be more true Hell, maybe someone out there understands like you You’ll be all right You’ll be ok Hope he holds you like I’d hold you night and day Walk without this weight I carry Knowing this extraordinary love Is what I’m made of Trembling while I hold my tongue, I know you’re doing fine You’ve got enough already on your plate Besides, I know that as the stream runs clear between the pines I need only to continue at its pace The wind that finds me clasping hands, still praying on my knees Is enough to get me up and walking on The morning brings a mist that makes it difficult to see But I finally trust myself to move along I’ll marry still I’ll have some kids Teach them not to do the stupid shit I did And if they do They’ll be ok Just like us, they’ll have to learn it the hard way I’ll love them still Like I love you Like I finally love my childhood friend, the truth Walk without this weight I carry Knowing this extraordinary love Is what we’re made of Walk without the weight I carry Knowing that the stream will bring me by To stop and say hi

Frozen Over 05:30

Why's your halo around your neck? Put it back up above your head If you can, then you you should Tell them what you withstood here on Earth Your ice is thick enough; start walking Keep them from giving up; put on your frock and Vestments of purple and green Be seen, as you saw me All they need is a pair of ears Hang them loosely; say, "I am here." Then sit back and just look Make them feel understood for once Your ice is thick enough; start walking Keep them from giving up; put on your frock and Vestments of purple and green Be seen, as you saw me It seems flimsy, doesn't it? Trust in it Remember, when it creaks and cracks, you put leaves and grass underneath Teach them to do the same Some will; some won't; no matter Because if that ice should shatter underfoot You stand ready to ask again, "Now do you understand Why it's time to gather sticks and leaves and needles from trees?" You stand ready to ask again, "I see your ice, but what's underneath?" Watch for bodies of water still Never know what's beyond this hill But you'll see; they will help you You saw them through hell. Now look up It's frozen over now; walk freely Keep looking forward now; you'll see me Smiling and tending my brush Doesn't take much

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
