lyrics

i've been waiting for a blessing
hold my palm out to the painting
and from here she'll take the aching
so i'll wring the tears she's raining

you saw through me
never choose me

i've outgrown the songs before me
i'm unlearning all they told me
take my wilted wooden soul but
only if you swear to hold me

i know i'm more
than you came for

i am worn from empty gestures
ripples of immense ancestors
i was born between two oceans
still i'm taught i must surrender

through skin, to him
save me, lean in

bodies of water in which i can wade and confess to her
drip to descendants and still there are ways it's oppressing her
teach me to sing with a heart that is kind, steady and strong
reach me to again when the lakes have been drained
and the rivers redrawn

drift back, drift back to me
