Stay Longer

I stayed longer than I should have
I stay longer than I should
And I loved you more than they would have
I can love you more than they could
My mother cried for the scars on my hands
But I work as hard as any man
I stayed longer than I should have
(Wait a year from now, you won't remember, you won't seem to care)
I stay longer than I should
(You won't mind, take your time, fall in line, they won't be there)
And I loved you more than they would have
I can love you more than they could

Roof

years ago i was called to be a woman
tales of men had no sway on my commands
and i know i should’ve stayed to prove my courage
but i ran
i composed every thought with a precision
that controlled every muscle in my hand
and i wrote that my strength could move a mountain
but i can’t
wait too long and it’s too late
wait too long and it’s too late to speak up
i keep spelling out those words
on the roof of my mouth with my tongue
where no one can hear them
in my dream i beat you at your own game
my voice booms as i speak despite your pause
and it seems that i am worthy of procession
and i feel tall
as i float through several layers of perception
i’m not quite sure what to do with myself
i feel old and calm and quiet as i’m falling
through this spell
wait too long and it’s too late
wait too long and it’s too late to speak up
i keep spelling out those words
on the roof of my mouth with my tongue
where no one can hear them

Identical Paths

dropped only to land in identical paths
thought there was someone there always following
danced around the truth, calculated the math
turned a blind eye and said i saw nothing
can't help but look over my shoulder
though i'm trying my best to push forward
what am i doing here, why am i trying
am i worse for wear?
in histories past i was written so small
i got up, fell back down and sat quietly
"i don't think i am wrong", so i took to the thought
as i sank back into soft society
i'm just trying to breathe normally
if only you knew what it meant to me
i'm just trying to breathe normally again

Matter Anymore

When I was ill with tears on my face
She called me Leah, I called her Grace
Sit, shiver on a train
Never mind all that
I did not stop to think
Listen to the sound of your own voice
To get you back on your feet again
But who's buggin' ya, baby?
Now that you don't matter anymore
