when the world comes right up to your doorstep with a litany of sorrows, what do you do? grieving each one is so relentless,
and how much crying can one girl do?
but did you know that
before everything we were nothing?
just emptiness, mingled and touching
and some say that
all this distance really means nothing
just mirrors reflecting back to the beginning
oh, I find it quite exciting
that our universe keeps dividing somewhere else I’m already dying somewhere else the seas aren’t rising
and if every possibility
is happening concurrently then one of them
must be
just
fine

how am I supposed to sleep with all this noise outside?
how am I to find my way back into this dream of mine?
when I was almost flying
like a landslide
into a sky awash with stars
the screeching reached me through the ether
threw me back in bed
and now it’s gone from me
only gravity pulling me down
oh, I’m a child again
sun pouring in
please don’t make me join this day
gentle sister Steller’s Jay
I hope you’ll understand
I’m not ready to begin again

I did it again
burnt my finger on the end of your cigarette
and I watched it burn down
still thinking you might come
back around

bloodshed
on the news again
I turned away
ever the fairweather friend
they said
a hundred and thirty nine dead
twenty seven children
as I lay in bed
yesterday I sat with the Dogwood
asking her what good
is muscle when the will is weak?
all these men
armored and broken
costumed children
making bombs and governments
but I paid
my taxes today
I had them wired away
and forged
into guns

how did they get you?
was it power, damnation, or shame?
is that all it takes to impress you?
while your love is burning at the stake
I’ve been searching
I keep digging
but I can’t find it
no forgiving
a coward
you know, we’re all afraid
so buy salvation
by the pound
hear us burning
don’t make a sound

Notes on Time
03:07
|

do you forget so easily?
time is not what it seems
not barreling towards an ending
just circling, winding, entangling
oh, but it’s the strangest thing
all this human being
conjuring and refusing
confusion I keep choosing
do you forget so easily?
everything is touching everything
drop a stone, watch it rippling
touch a wound back to the beginning
oh, but it’s the strangest thing
a portal to my undoing
touch a wound back to the beginning
recursion unraveling and mending

Aviva le Fey Oakland, California
Aviva sings heart songs – some for love lost, and others for humanity lost – with a tone and cadence that somehow conjures both the vintage pop of the Fifties and the dark, dreamy sounds you might hear coming from that haunted backwoods bar in 1990s Twin Peaks, Washington. ... more
