listening to nina simone on the drive home
my great weight is lifted
thanks to the smiles of my friends
i hope i can leave them
with more than a stack of cups
built to fall, by the time that mornin comes
and i'm happy now
knowin i don't have to dream
they tamed the wild beasts in my belly
i hope i can leave them
with more than a stack of cups
built to fall, by the time that mornin comes

lawrence, be a strong man
those around you might not notice
but you'll know the difference
the more you work,
the more you learn,
the more you look like your father
as you get older
you might not think
you can be as good as him
but please don't worry about it
i wanted to write this as a letter,
but realized, that these words are worthless
until they're said
and turned into flesh
cos these words are skeletons, unless they're spoken
lawrence, take your dirty hands and go wash them
just like your mother always wanted
soon, your spirits will be lifted
the more you work,
the more you learn,
the more you look like your father
as you get older
the city of tallahassee will keep you safe
the city of tallahassee will keep you safe

standing small

in the magic of the woods,
you won't take anybody's words
would you like me send you
sounds that see in the dark
to get you further from this town
from this town?
in the depths of my dreams,
you were covered in mud
standing amongst the grass
haunting me like the ghost you'll be
you stood small
for the first time
you stood small
you were wearing, you were wearing a necklace
made of rosemary roots, brambles wrapped around your foot
so each step you took, each step you took stained the earth
you stood small
you stood small
with your limbs loose

your sister moves away
and you climb her bed
you get into the military
and your younger brother
sleeps in your bed all day
and when you mother passes away
you all climb in together
and you dream
you dream of the things she said
and you dream of the places she's been
and it goes on and on and on
until you all grow up too much
