lyrics

i can be water, moving mountains
i can be fire, creative destruction
i can watch willow, letting her leaves go
i can make mosaics out of the shrapnel.

sweeping the scythe goes,
that is the cycle
arms full of shiny, solid gold apples.
there is no time to succumb to fear
death, ever-smiling, is waiting, my dear.

smile back.

let it burn, let it die.
let the vines consume these lights
capitulating spaces never safe for us
let it flood, let it rise
from the salt-springs of our eyes.
i'm tired of waiting for the "right time"

i can be water, moving mountains
i can be fire, creative destruction
i can watch willow letting her leaves go
i can make mosaics out of the shrapnel.

my mama and my trauma llamas and "chaos agents" and "divisive" babes who hold so much space for one another's healing and still make alllll the apologists in all the scenes uncomfortable. I love you. we survive together.

wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this album up, I had only heard the first song but it was n-y-p so I got it anyhow. After listening through it at least 100 times in the last couple days, I can say with confidence that if there's every a re-release on the cassettes I'd get it in a heartbeat. Willow Barbeau
