name change 01:20
open up my heart / I've been so ashamed. open up my thighs. open up my eyes, open up my fist, open up my name. fear is a guidepost, not a traveling companion. mark it among the things that I leave behind. all's on the table of love and change. open up my fist, open up my name.

can it wait? how long will i take? does it waste? how long does it take? I have a vision of myself in a new body, being held. I feel the pair of loving hands, I feel the dying breath expand into lower pressure night.
3.
god song 01:15
I will never be your friend. we won't let it happen. I'm afraid to ask you out again. something is so repulsive about being known by someone who might do it well. can you tell I'm running away? when I see the god in you, I start to pray. we should get our gods together and make them play.

I don't remember much about you. there is a cloud of uncertainty, hangs around you. and I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am watching my dreams come true when I'm watching the death of you. I don't remember much about me then. I have some stories that I call memories, I remember them. I could tell um to you like they were my own. from before I knew my body was a home. I am watching my dreams come true as it's losing its memories of you.
5.
eat food $ 00:50
peanut butter on a celery stick. hummus, avocado, tortilla chip. grains, greens, garlic and beans. nuts, cheese, sunflower seeds. remember to eat.
6.
bike 01:29
I can handle it now; I can handle it now. I can go anywhere, do anything on my bike. I can call you, text you, I can look anyone in the eye. I can say anything, love everyone from my bike. rain falls, windfalls, sunfalls, I fall. falling off my bike.
7.
here again 01:32
so far--so far, I'm here again.
8.
turnaway 02:10
saw your outline out on the proverbial floor. shot my hand right thru the closing elevator doors. just to see you again in the crest of a lightwave in a dream before I wake. and in the dream you turn away. things I want about you I can only become. things I dreamed about you now seem suddenly so dumb. and the choice you make to turn away is the freedom it takes to choose to stay. so, in the end you turn away. that's the way it is, OK.
9.
me <3 me 01:12
I feel much better the morning after. there's nothing left to feel about u leaving; you're gone and I'm still here. it's me and myself, forever. I feel much better the morning after. eat some bread and drink some water, baby--it's you and me in for the long haul, together. it's me and myself forever, and ever.
