lyrics

evaporated river beds
and hot stones of hot climates
with my hands in my pockets
the sun beats down on us
or at night air full
us surrounded by the massive winds rumble
above the black of trees reflections
dirt coated on our skin
you
a conscious cellular sack painting a young woman
while out loud i mention something of feeling separate
ambivalence is part of the human condition
you are a home for me to rest in
you are a home for me to rest in

orange buzzing streetlight framing dark flat expanse
surfaces true desire of comfort and holding
and the origin of its being
let's find a place to sit and feel at home for a minute or two

as bells play from the sky in a breeze that relieves
and you stick your head through the hole of the chestnut tree
your body, your container is the home that you rest in

as directions shift east
in illuminated absence of something
a physical manifestation of old songs feelings
of warmth of fire on raw surface
and fertile ground to stand in
home as a physical location
its form forever knowingly inherently changing
my desire of distance constantly oscillating
that desire is the home that i rest in
my desire is the home that i rest in
