You break my soul an
inch a day — You who should heal
how do you love

we come together
always wounding in small cuts
miss you

She Carried Me

only the cracked at the seams
can understand
this is not the way you would choose
I revel at the broken streams

she played at the banks
of the Arroyo Seco
unaware of the tensions
between the walls

I listen to the same song
a hundred times
but still I'm not sure
how to cry
one day the diamonds will
sparkle in my eye

she straps on her
metal roller skates
and rolls for miles
'til the wind drives
the hate from her ears

we are holding hands
I know she understands
I wonder where she is
her last words are
still ringing in my ears

why do you love me
sitting quiet on the porch
watching the sun set

who are you to
believe you are one of us
in this life ) searing (

toss on each stone this
mountain grow grief.joy both build
life

so many lives intertwined
make this being nice thing
a burden

lost in the baking
aisle she is glad of her small
adventures

in this one moment
the heart stops the soul sinks
the door closes

one step away from
this is not the silent I
fade into you

why do I have to
say what you want me to say
I am a Hurricane
