hands in the sky 05:03
lyrics

my grief is larger than i can handle Coatlicue, hands in the sky my efforts toward self-recovery leave me breathless they hang me dry --put your hands in the sky-- you press the feathers against your body they’ll make you pregnant the child’s head hangs in the sky i woke to oil on my pillow in dreams my jaw cracked i’ve got her maw on my mind --put your Hands In The Sky-- they divide and display her, call her monstrous, give her one sentence how can they write so dry? she’ll move me through this her bones are my bones we were the victim, now watch us rise --put your hands in the sky-- some people don’t obsess about the past so i’ve heard my grief is larger than i can handle Coatlicue, hands in the sky my efforts toward self-recovery leave me breathless they hang me dry put your hands in the sky put your hands in the sky tonight

good morning sunshine good morning moonlight i’m writing a letter about your weather they don’t want you to feel this much they don’t want you to feel at all but they want you to be their prophet they want you to feel for them and they say you feel too much but baby we’ve been this way our whole lives too emotional they say we are the way, we are the waves and i’ve been dreaming of this moment my whole life you are my fiery, aries, debaucherous energy i’m your 90° libra completion you are the stillness too the nerve that runs down my spine and baby we’ve been this way our whole lives now the world is falling apart and they want you to feel for them as the tears are pouring down from your eyes they don’t want you to feel this much they don’t want you to feel at all but they want you to be their profit too emotional they say we are the way, we are the waves and we’ve been dreaming of this moment our whole lives

we are steady underneath 05:50
lyrics
buy track
i wasn’t sure i’d find you i was trying to undefine the space you would fill i couldn’t let myself dream of a girl could stand in the water of my changes but you are tidal you are grief you are buoyant with sunken feet i’m so hopeless i’m full of hope we are steady underneath. we are steady underneath we are steady underneath. we are steady underneath how does it feel to watch me work with your words? she asks me it’s falling it’s letting the pieces be pieces it’s falling it’s letting the pieces be pieces she glues them back together oh words sticky words, disparate words, insufficient words she carries around a suitcase of poetry down on the ground, unfastens the latch for me to see what she’s found she pulls out a line for me from my own mouth she hands me the lock and key she’s making a zine she’s making a zine of me she’s pressing repeat she’s pressing repeat on me she’s making a zine she’s making a zine of me she’s pressing repeat she’s pressing repeat on me so hopeless full of hope so hopeless

about

LEONURUS CARDIACA
means lion-hearted
means heart of a lion
is the botanical name for motherwort
grows all around the cabin, up a hill, in the woods, where we lived, where this album was written & recorded

this album is finding & seeking rituals of the sacred, of the body, of the earth
apathy, stagnation, the need to be resown

we are more powerful than we will ever know

from this place of pitifulness, insufficiency, beast-being, potential, wild vitality,
let us be creative

let us be Lion-Hearted (while also rabbit-boned), and let ALL of us finally bear the weight of transformation our world needs to be its own dream
