Did you ever feel afraid to love
What you couldn’t see,
Plan or touch?
Digging deeper corners thinking of
All the two-way doors
All the ways that they shut
Can you ever really dance enough?
Someday I’ll find that kid again who only ever looked up
His mother dancing copper kitchen daylight trickling through the walls
I never had to make a choice to join, it never occurred to me at all
I just found myself in motion
I found myself
Far too focused, fearful that I need to prove that I’m enough
I forget that all I am is silken webs to those I love
So if I can’t just make the album
But I can’t pick up the phone
Am I really weaving anything
Tormented and alone?
Did you ever feel like I do now?
Is there still a chance I’ll learn how?
Despite everything we couldn’t choose
You dance
And I will always join you starting now

Counting and hiding
Knelt behind the cellar door
I barely knew what for
Can’t go to school anymore
Fell into feeling
That there was no ground for me
An extra trying to speak
A statue trying to breath
Hand on the door latch
Knew the fortress would soon cease
You found me on my knees
Your son at seventeen
Pretending not to fake it all
But scared of how’d you’d see
Me
(See me)
When I think back on growing up
Through my confusion chasms swallowing anger
From the desert dust of closedness
You always stayed in case the drought would be over
That day that you found me
I swore that you’d tell me
I once had a chance but it’s gone
You just wanted assurance
That I’ll keep on becoming
Towards what I want till I’m done
You were there
Whenever I think back
You were there
