I used to have so many words at my command I’d spit em out and drop them, dripping, in your hand I’d tell you all the secrets of my broken heart I didn’t censor myself or restrict my art But something’s got me scared, it’s got me bound and gagged I no longer trust my tongue or my shaking hands I don’t even know what I want you to call me Can you recall the last time that you saw me So undone, so spread thin, and I don’t think I am alone in my predicament Everywhere I look I see averted eyes Glances, glancing blows to isolated minds Cracks in the concrete demanding scrutiny What I wouldn’t give for a community And here and there I’ve found a friend to help me through So grateful for the love I see inside of you Can we stay here forever in this river cold? Let running water wash us til we’re clean and old? To the bone, soak me deep, wish me a sweet dream I’ll be off to sleep.

I wanted to be an orphan all alone I wanted to have a garden of my own To climb into the branches strong and high To sit among the birds and touch the sky To know freedom I know I needed them But parents really seemed a drag sometimes.

O, lover, please come quickly I am breathing, heart is beating Life is good, but every night alone I find I can’t sleep on these hot nights my skin is burning for the light touch of a finger tracing circles on my spine I want company I want love to fill my days I get lonely I know that isn’t cute to say But I’m a human, just a being Hot blood rushing in my veins I am young, but I won’t always be And whatever remains When love is gone is something that don’t I care to retain Am I running toward the light or am I standing in the rain? I want company I want love in every breath I want chemistry Strong enough to murder death

about

These 14 minutes of music are the first I have released in 14 months. I am so grateful for them to have loosed themselves through me at long last. I was hoping the summer would knock something loose from me, and it has. These songs are about a lot of things, but in the end, they're always love songs. Every one. Thank you Sun, thank you water, thank you moon, thank you friends.

Ty in advance for any donations + shares— I so appreciate your support.

<3 Sam Moth
