Come, come, come, come into my heart tell me darling, we will never part.
I'd like to show you what a woman looks like
I'm coming of age, isn't that what you'd like?
Fine hairs that settle like dew on wool
Beaded caves where my innocence once stood
In a frosted globe lays a graveyard of wings
I'll mix it with water, paint on the skin
The Earth as armour built up from the ground
My chin is up, but my guard is down.
Come, come, come, come into my heart tell me darling, we will never part.
Cause I float like mist through your fingertips
Try cup me in your hands I know you can't resist
Un-tameable, un-shame-able, take your pick.
I'll be yours when it suits me fine,
And then I'm his and hers again but always mine
I'm vulnerable when the timing's right.
I metamorphasise into light
When the timing's right.
I'd like to show you what a woman looks like
My body it swells with the rings of time
The wind pats my head, the Earth hums
A vibration of humans dance on her skin
Like a snowflake dressed in light
Her colour, it pierces the day into night
Like a dove in a storm I'm the one you adore
Man wins, but gravity wins more.
Come, come, come, come into my heart tell me darling, we will never part.

Emergency Contact

What comes next when there’s nothing left?
What comes next when there’s nothing left?
Who’s my emergency contact?
I’ll leave the space blank I guess
Your emergency contact
My neighbour what’s her name again
Your emergency contact
Can I teach my dog to run for help?
Your emergency contact
I live alone don’t rub it in.
Here I am it feels I’ve failed again
I tried to bow but I couldn’t bend
The richest girl in the graveyard
I’m walking dead with a beating heart.
Who’s your emergency contact?
Well, my son can’t drive he’s only six
Your emergency contact?
When your next of kin is sinking tin
Your emergency contact?
It’s a loaded question at the least
Your emergency contact?
When you brother lives across the sea.
A beating heart in a metal chest
A secret code that I couldn’t get
A blinded man who can see for days
Do you love him more when you’re missing him?
Your emergency contact?
My father left when I was three
Your emergency contact?
My mum breaks down in times of stress
Your emergency contact?
My boyfriend’s camping in the bush
Your emergency contact?
I’m too damn proud to ask for help.
What comes next when there’s nothing left?

The Quiet Life
05:12
|

The longest drives and a desk to write behind
Dark wood holds her up from each side
And I'm ready to live a quiet life,
Yeh, I'm ready, she said, to live the quiet life.
You may shield me from the sky
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.
I'll start my life when the dust has settled right
And I'll flip it up and fill it like a cup
We're a dripping mess but we don't need to be the best
A relentless storm, I'm now armoured like a bull.
You may shield me from the sky
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.
Yeh, I'm okay with it.
An unfinished line, an artwork built by time
A flightless kite, a stagnant satellite
I'm an ancient text, a word-of-mouth romance
I've seen it all, I know nothing more than this
You may shield me from the sky,
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry.
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.
Yeh, I'm okay with it.
So let it rain down.
