My older brother said not to give up on it. Sideways on a park bench, morning light. Sing like an angel, cry like an infant. Feel elated when you call me. Riding out the bad vibes, tripping on my front porch. Blood spilled in the bookstore, springtime. We glow golden holding candles. The King's gravesite in mid-August.

Lifting you towards the attic door My hands on your hips We fell in a tangle of limbs Ash fell from my eyes Suddenly at the back of the house Sprinklers in the sun Naked against a yellow wall Dust fell from my mouth Bound by our ponytails braided into one You can be my baby now And I will be your man Spread out across the Salton Sea Seagull's blood and bone Air was thick, we choked it down Laughing cola smiles When we came to the edge of it all You were not around South Dakota, midwest Queen Straddled by the belt Bound by our ponytails braided into one You can be my baby now And I will be your man Rhinestones in a plastic bag Kiss me on the crown You can be my baby now And I will be your man Rhinestones in a plastic bag Kiss me on the crown You can be my baby now And I will be your man

Broken leg bird radio Anaheim wind's still Pushed a shopping cart off of a cliff Valley echoed back We laugh too loud Make our papas proud At the bottom of the well Howling at the moon Youth will be the death of me Haunted condo blues We laugh too loud Make our papas proud Floating lanterns out to sea We watched dressed in black Touch my shoulder, fingertips The ice melts in your glass We laugh too loud Take me home with you tonight
4.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me, like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see. I see. Once you held the midland wolves In a copper wire cage We went running on the road And ate the white moth's wings Sacrifice in Rainey Park With the Rooster's orange blood Four small eggs and a pile of change At the roots of a gnarled tree

Joy 06:13
Joy is what we're after The laughter of the clouds Crowns of sound and hailing Holy be thy name Joy if it doesn't kill me Triumph even if it does 10,000 volts of lightning Stemming from my lips (Fleeing through my toes) (Gunning for my heart) Sort of like the joy of falling Or dying in a dream Water off a rock cliff Billowing in steam Hammering the instrument Hard enough to feel The light that it is made of That is joy and it is real Oh, there is perfect violence On the dunes out by the beach We wiped the blood from our swords On driftwood and on grass Where did you get this idea of the concept of a soul? What are you doing in South Korea? You need to come back home Joy is what we're after The laughter of the clouds Crowns of sound and hailing Holy be thy name Joy if it doesn't kill me Triumph even if it does 10,000 volts of lightning Stemming from my lips (Fleeing through my toes) (Gunning for my heart)

On the tarmac Heat of the morning sends ripples across Smiling pilot apologizes on the intercom Filled with illness Silica gel in my ears and eyes Oh, dear boyfriend Take your sweet back and turn towards the sun Cave your brains in Shave that thing off, you look ridiculous There's my papa wading slow with hollow bones

about

In early 2010, I started tuning my grandmother's guitar like a cello. And at some point I learned how to sing. I plugged in my electric guitar and I went. Here are some songs and one drone.
