We fit our pain into a box
Dug a six foot hole and filled it to the top
Then we put a road over the dirt
To navigate away from the hurt
Still back there
Is a box with our name
Where we buried the pain
Where we buried the pain
Still back there is a box with our name
Where we buried the pain, the blame, the shame
We haven’t healed a thing
We’ve just concealed the pain
Built a big city over the graves
Thought the bright lights would keep the ghost away
Bought a nice house at the top of the hill
Like the further away the less we would feel
Still back there
Is a box with our name
Where we buried the pain
Where we buried the pain
Still down there is a box with our name
Where we buried the pain, the blame, the shame
We haven’t healed a thing
We’ve just concealed the pain
We haven’t healed a thing
We’ve just concealed the pain

Plant your feet upon the earth
Know your value, know your worth
Take a breath that’s long and deep
You’re carried by the ground beneath
Feel the sunshine on your skin
A lotus flower blossoming
Your journey is your offering
You are here for a reason
Send your roots down through the dirt
Anchoring you through the hurt
With every breath lengthen your spine
Reaching steady towards the light
Feel the sunshine on your skin
Turn up the wiser voice within
Your story is your offering
You are here for a reason

The Way Back Home

You and I are both the same
That’s how I know that you won’t stay
There’s a world out there and it’ll come calling
Calling out your name
You’ve got untied ends you need to complete
It’s got nothing to do with me
They will call your name and you will go running
And baby that’s alright with me
As you run towards the horizon
And venture out into the cold
I will keep the fire burning
To light the way back home
You and I are both the same
That’s how I know it’ll go this way
There’s a world out there and it’ll come calling
And I won’t ask for you to stay
So go ahead and see what you need to see
I can only hope that you think of me
And when your feet are tired and swollen
Follow the sound of this melody
As you run towards the horizon
And venture out into the cold
I will keep the fire burning
To light the way back home
As you come upon the crossroad
Keep your eyes fixed to the glow
I will keep the fire burning
To the light the way back home
To light the way back home

I roamed through the valley
Turned over every stone
Darling I am certain
There’s no place like home
I’ve seen many sunsets
Beautiful and bold
But they don’t seem so special
Without your hand to hold
My wildest dreams cannot compete
You’re what makes this home feel sweet
Even when we’re far apart
You’ll always have the coziest seat in my heart
We can build a fortress
This time made out of stone
I will plant a garden
We’ll watch our children grow
If you get this message
I hope you are alone
Darling I am certain
There’s no place like home
My wildest dreams cannot compete
You’re what makes this home feel sweet
Even when we’re far apart
You’ll always have the coziest seat in my heart

Worthwhile
Turned on the news to see the world on fire
Riots are raging
Covid rates getting higher
Scientists say beware of the rising water
Mothers are crying at the border
I know things out there are a little wild
It is all worthwhile
It is all worthwhile
I’ll do anything just to make you smile
It is all worthwhile
It is all worthwhile
Trust that the dark days are gonna end
First the old has to fall for something new to ascend
Some things we may never understand
Oh, but you do what you can
Oh, we’ll do what we can
I know things out there are a little wild
It is all worthwhile
It is all worthwhile
I’ll do anything just to see you smile
It is all worthwhile
It is all worthwhile

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath.
