Our Sexual Faculties
In my house, you come to learn.
This is my fire- you watch it burn.
Listen, look, learn again.
You will be my secret friend.
You will be my sole defender.
Give me something to remember.
Cause there’s so much pain that I cannot hide.
I need you to know how I feel inside.
In my house, where the shadows are long
Come inside, do not hide
You will learn to be strong.
Cause the pain is a flame I hold inside
Through the night while we dance in the moonlight.
And the flame is a fire that will never end.
Even for my secret friend.
But if you hurt me secret friend-
If you lay me low-
You don’t want to be there
On that night I lose control.
Cause the animal in her cage is pacing
And the wiggly worm know what he be facing-
I’ll make you laugh just like a clown
Then BAM another secet friend go down.
In my house, where the children come play
Through the night, so we hide
But they won’t be there by day.
Cause the pain is a flame we hold inside
Through the night while we dance in the moonlight.
And the flame is a fire that will never end.
Even for my secret friend.

The Line
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
When the time wasn’t over yet
When the time was ready to begin
When my heart was red lying in a box
Waiting for the sticking pin.
There you go, I know your eyes
Fire with a flash of pain
Feel it burn, feel it end
What is the name of this thing that remains?
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
There you go, the hand that wears the glove of velvet red
Like a woman, like a child, is the man afraid of his own death
Like a woman, like a child- the man who will never fight
Flickering beneath the sky and dying that same night.
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
There you go, the man I know whose legs are far too thin
Find the box and open it to push your stick pin in
Fire I know, death I know, I also know your eyes
Like a woman, like a child- the man who never lies.
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
AI art is a decent choice aesthetically but I don’t use any AI in my music, or writing for that matter, and it would make me feel sick if people thought it was an AI creation, generated by the click of a button, when in reality I’m slaving away away surrounded by black wires…
And fwiw the beautiful brand new PlushMellow in this photo is available for adoption. A $20 adoption fee includes shipping. One of my first gigs when I was desperately trying to survive was finding good homes for stuffed animals. I’ve learned I have to think bigger to make it in this world but I still need to find homes for the few I have left.

Father, I need to sit.
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me what it is.
Father, what is the time?
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me if it’s mine.
You built a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Clouds flew above me light flashing out of their eagle eyes
Now I can feel those cold things starting again.
Father, where are my hands?
I need to touch my eyes- something tells me they are hurting me again.
Father, am I lying in bed?
Why are the curtains drawn? What is this thing upon my head?
You built a tower in a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Sun shimmered on my body like I was a pegasi
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.
Father, why are the curtains drawn?
So many things to do. I can’t remain in here too long.
Father, I need to ask
Of all the things you’ve done, which ones are the ones that you’d take back?
You built a world around my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in your hand.
Cities they swirled around me like they was a race of lights
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.
All of the men in the world lined up side by side
A bundle of twigs they wait for the flame.
Dance by the fire and you will realize
A burning man will never feel the pain.
Look at you and listen to what you say
Follow you whereever you will stay
For so many years I ran away places where I’d hide
I want you to hold me there inside.
Look at you a smile fills up my mind
Feeling warm and burgundy with wine
For so many years I dreamed of places far away
I want you to take me there today
Will you hold my hand when I follow you so far underground?
Will you pin me there when I’m quivering darkness all around?
Will you bring me down?
Looking down and smiling to the side
All the secrets that I hold inside
When he turned to burgundy drag me cross the floor
I cry, then go back for more
Will you hold my hand when I follow you so far underground?
Will you pin me there when I’m quivering darkness all around?
Will you bring me down?
Look at you another shade of red
Rub my eyes and stumble back to bed
All the ropes and wine and fantasy scattered on the floor
Rest first then go back for more
When I think of you, I suffocate something I can’t find
Could you hurt me pull me back again somewhere in my mind?
When you seperate me suffocate dragging on the floor
All the voices hurt me teling me maybe I want more
Will you bring me down?
Will you hold my hand when I follow you so far underground?
Will you pin me there when I’m quivering darkness all around?
Will you bring me down?
Jay, when you wanted to go
Were you wanting to mate her mainly?
Never wanting to save your baby oh
Stay cause I wanted to know
Sometimes I come to cry down this town
Cause I needed a home. Do you ever come near
Come far? Do you ever think of me as someone
Who could be part of your world
Wrapped in a warm red fire?
Jay, when we talk on the phone
Could you ever conceive that maybe
I could not understand why you’re always alone?
And the weather is cold?
Sometimes I come to cry down this town
No one knows where I go. Would you ever come near
Come far? Do you ever think of me as someone
Who could be part of your world
Wrapped in a warm red fire?
Hold your hands behind your back
And tell me that you’re coming back
Leave me with the fire inside
Shadows dancing on the wall
Like crazy men they trip and fall
Somewhere in the fire I hide.
Jay, when you leave me alone
Sometimes I go and stand there crazy
Broken glass in my hand cause I gotta hold on
And the weather is cold.
Every night when I wander this town
No one knows where I go. Would you ever come near
Come far? Do you ever think of me as someone
Who could be part of your world
Wrapped in a warm red fire?

Jay, when we talk on the phone
Did you ever concieve that maybe
I could not understand why youre always alone?
And the weather is cold?
Sometimes I come to cry down this town
No one knows where I go. Would you ever come near
Come far? Do you ever think of me as someone
Who could be part of your world

Hold your hands behind your back
And tell me that you’re coming back
Leave me with the fire inside
