sorry that i’m late trying to graduate o’er here two ships passing in the night word had it you were at the same fire and yet i didn't see your face and the glow of the light when a space becomes a mine of memories and intense feeling the weight will certainly remain as you leave it behind

[may5to12songs]

Struggled through this week of songwriting, and lost steam especially towards the end, but i’m feeling very proud and accomplished. My last song is a chill jam.

sad girl is actin like a piece of shit

Act Like a Piece of Shit - Eskimeaux do you love me? is that a dumb question? i just need to say it 'cause when i'm left to imagine i get wrapped up in feeling rough like nothing i do is enough can i even write songs? just released an album it felt good to hear what everyone said but now i can't get out of bed postpartum depressed so when i wanna sit and act like a piece of shit there's one thing that i can see i love you blindly and i wanted to remind you when you're feeling down open up your mouth whatever comes out is precious and allowed

Lion Lion, Lamb Lamb - Eskimeaux lion. lion lamb, lamb if you're the lion i'll be a ram someday, someday someday, someday for now we can rest together our cozy nest Brooklyn house, we are coming it's crooked, i'm sure, but it's something lion, lion mouse, mouse i'm opening the lion's mouth 'cause something's rotten in this house and only i can stop it only i can stop it

all about that late night track why is it i choose to read and written things -- can they read too? the readers -- they must have another reading audience themselves, circulating on the shelves put on hold will her prophecy unfold like she told me? may be 2 more years of Saturn in the 5th enough, enough! i’m sick of it waiting and waning, prematurely celebrating only for delay the morning comes, but it won’t stay stuck at standby, permanently so, when i love, i’m ever gentle and extreme and dense i’m no attack and all defense a love once came and then it went and now the waiting’s permanent

Day 6, May 10

i am not warm

i am not cheek to cheek

i am not the person you want me to be

i was thinking about that this morning while i watched you sleep

while i rubbed your back and reminded you to breath

i’m sorry that i’m prone to recoil

a kiss on my neck feels like a spider’s web

i need to be alone but i will return

after i breath and lay my head and rest my eyes

sad girl sees outside herself for once

Emily Reo's Life-Changing Tweet - Eskimeaux i used to feel alone among everybody where did i come from? why do you love me? spent so much time focused only on me, me and then i saw it what emily had written if all you only talk about your insides you’re missing the point of being alive opened my eyes to see this special life, this net of safety circle of light surrounding i get so high just knowing the web of love ever growing luke says the keys to success are your friends and your moral compass the reason you feel alone is closed eyelids

LVL UP - Naked In The River With The Creator (NC)

Down the river on my back I can see with both my eyes closed. How do you know when love is a wellspring? Does it give your life meaning, or does it bind you? I know the way grows shallow so I put my feet down and I open my eyes!

dark river white water gaining purpose moving stronger ash rising bright father's dogs running with the earth's daughter light from the fire line spreading out forth from the night and then climbing to the Spirit heading north I sat quiet on the side and, still silent, saw a black crow rise from the night and take flight. life rose from the water and ascended to the ground, to the sky to the night and back down.

i know it’s every day, it’s constant you’re hearts in a jam cause you don’t feel right, your clothes are too tight i used to want to be Pretty but then i drove through hollywood and all i wanted to watch were my bahn mi and the palm trees we gotta shake this out of us till we’re soaked new and shining, every morning double-dip in love deserving serve me till my spirit’s full together i hope we can shake it out shake it out you taught me about bjork and the cranberries you gave me your guitar ma, you’re the biggest beauty I’m gonna believe that when i die they’ll play my songs cause they’re more me than my body ever could ever be we gotta shake this out of us till we’re soaked new and shining, every night and morning double-dip in love deserving serve me till my spirit’s full together i hope we can shake it out shake it out
