thunderstorm

huddle in the tent with me, rain pouring down
as the thunder roles over mount hood
sleeping bags joined at the seems your body keeps me warm
storms scare me, but no more than they should
huddle in the tent with me, watch the lightning strike
sheltered under slender hemlock shadows
we aren't the tallest creatures here, safe in being slight
the stars in the sky just seem to go
huddle in the tent with me we'll ride out any storm
everything's ok when we're together
we'll see a lot of shit this year, the next year and the next
I thank the rain and stars we have each other

not interested
02:34
|
|||
|
no I'm not hetero, lesbian or gay
and I'm sure as hell not straight
I might give you my number if I see you in bloc
treesitting or at a blockade
now I've got you wondering what I think is cute
well here's a little song about what not
picket lines are sexy, scabs are gross
ftp but no I don't fuck cops
I'm anarcha sexual, not interested in anyone in bed with the state
anarcha sexual, fuck gender here's what I look for in a date
dirty is a compliment my favorite scent is smoke
tobacco, campfire or pot
I don't care much for razors but I'd love to see your knife
ecofeminist theories make me hot
show me the garden at your coop house
we can go out and wheatpaste cap hill
there's something quite romantic about facing riot cops
that's when my trust is built
lets skip couple's therapy for a workshop on decolonizing
the white supremacist patriarchy is the true root of our illls
no one pays for dinner if we dumpster it instead
catch a benefit show if we got time to kill

full moon
03:08
|
|||
|
well you took me to the coast on your birthday
and we drank a whole fifth of whiskey
the clouds covered all of the stars but one
we sang to the rhythm of the sea
the moon will be full tomorrow
tomorrow will come another day
the moon will be full tomorrow
but it's beautiful right now, it's beautiful right now
and so was today
hiked a couple miles in to set up camp
the sea lion brayed a welcome song
the rain said hello but didn't torment us
but even when it rains we get along
I collected wood while you built the fire
hot enough to warm our every bone
puffing on a harp while I sang along
anywhere we're singing feels like home
I've slept on sand dunes and wandered deep in caves
rafted down the river to wake with the light of day
I need to be outside the way I need to see your face
it's beautiful right now and so was today

dark starry skies
02:41
|
|||
|
her hair it glows the way the sun turns fields to gold
everything looks prettier with you
her eyes shine so bright under dark starry skies
and I say I want to see the world with you, I want to see the world with you
if you want to set me free you'll have to share the reigns with me
I'm not going anywhere alone
this road that we've been on keeps on going never stops
nothing but our songs can feel like home
well some days I've been alone had to do it on my own
moved to fast no one could keep up
but you don't hold me down just keep my feet on the ground
a whole new kind of feeling to call love

autumn leaf
03:02
|
|||
|
an autumn leaf turning red
the green washed away in the rain
the great oak branches only grow because they know
one must loose to gain
when the winds come from the north
the leaf is blown to the ground
small not insignificant
it lands without a sound
I've spent many days in the mountains
I've slept many nights on the ground
every time a tree falls a new rebel is born
cycles never end, cycles never end they come around
now the leaf is browning
turning into soil
the sacrifice of decomposition
is the basis of this world
but your system doesn't work that way
you knock us down forgetting we will grow
revolution starts on the leafy forest floor
there's only one direction we can go

god
04:56
|
|||
|
I met god and it was terrifying
body separated from my soul
I can't care about you anymore if I don't know who I am
the darkness of the woods a gaping hole
I found myself and it was terrifying
I hope you're never lost alone
floating in a void we can't even comprehend
abandoned for eternity to roam
how could I leave you alone out there?
emptiness will never set us free
how could I leave you alone to fall apart?
I need you here to put my mind at ease
I met god and it was terrifying
to see the sky open and disappear
the ferns come alive if you look at them too long
but it's really just myself who I fear

your little wingnut
01:48
|
|||
|
I'll be your little wingnut, hope you think that's cute
and if you don't then baby well I'm not the one for you
I'll be your little wingnut, keep you on your feet
I like to make things interesting in bed and on the streets
I'll be your little wingnut, let's both play it safe
if the feds come knocking, say I've gone away
I'll be your little wingnut, what else could I do?
sometimes just a little trouble gets you in the news
don't worry if I don't pick up I'm probably not in jail
and if I am well I got friends who told me they'd post bail
I know it must be hard sometimes to love someone like me
affectionately breaking rules trying to set us free
I'll be your little wingnut, hope you think that's cute
and if you do then baby well I'm just the one for you

salmonberries
02:36
|

|
well I read the book of genesis
and adam and eve were primitivists
god punished them with civilization
yes I know they don't exist
but this explains why I need rest
away from human contamination
so take me to where they salmonberries grow wild
where the river runs so clear and cold
we can look for mushrooms, forage with the bears
take me to where the salmonberries grow
towering hemlocks freshwater streams
so much more then what they seem
this city is a cage help me escape
to love me is to smash my phone
take me out don't leave me alone
I need to catch my breathe and get away
I've wandered out through timber sales
seen the soil sick and pale
they're waging a war on the woods
well a war on trees is a war on us
we don't fight back we'll turn to dust
a clearcut is a forest gone for good
