My Dreams 03:38
My dreams they did not last much like the monsters in my past they fade from view You try to decide if I am worth running that fast to catch up to we both come to same conclusion we take time we don’t own and we vacillate and misconstrue and feed the weeds and cry when flowers grow I didn’t want to see the sun It reminds me of the path I should have chosen I don’t want to see the flowers they remind me of the hours I spent doubting my pen Fear's best friend My time didn’t much use its self and I didn’t claim much wealth but I survived But You You didn’t come to hear all that this fear has done for me in my life we both come to same conclusion we take time we don’t own and we vacillate and misconstrue and feed the weeds at home we watch them grow I didn’t want to see the sun It reminds me of the path I should have chosen I don’t want to see the flowers they remind me of the hours I spent doubting my pen with fears best friend

Conversation 04:26
steady the course now make it look easy as long as there's effort there you’re not wrong wake up at dawn tide the land is on fire hear the endless conversation tween the city and the sky ooo I love you wrap me up in your faded blue oooo where were you I was cold and joined by the wreathed moon dreaming gets easy waking comes hard so you sleep through the mysteries playing around your atrophied heart and all of a sudden you’ve aged a day with nothing to show for the time passed away ooo I love you wrap me up in your faded blue oooo where were you I was cold and joined by the wreathed moon

I could be a couch potato I’ve done it before I could tell you that I’ll be here then just walk right out the door I can see no way that this will ever end Still I will always be your friend I have written poems in the sand by the house that only you have read the best of secret keepers once done you’d blot them out so no one else could read what I said And when we do part I know not where you’ve gone Soo I just sit here on your dresser and wait for you to come home! You and I, You and I You and I You and I have always been buddies You and I You and I You and I You and I solve mysteries alone I could be a captain of a ship we sail to liberate our crewman who is stuck in Jail And You’ve got superpowers and see through walls and together we rescue all and next we’ll fly to Mr Mar’s and find that martians play guitars and our space boat floats on by so we listen and we wave saying see you next time

those stars they fall and the moon wraps around your fingers my words seem small And February feels cold here my tears run dry and I surrender to the ordinary signs of life in search of self look deep deep in shallow caverns made for my captivity I won’t run to shelter I won’t fall asleep in my shadow in my shadow I see demons and defeat and I won’t turn from sunlight though the dawn shows me the pain I will put those things beside me let them wash away with the rain I say love you and the silence echoes in this room Its understood not the same your eyes give me the answer there’s nothing you can say people I don't know the names of places I can't see the face of all I have is here right now but stepping to the ledge I found that I could not yet see the ground but there is no where left to go

I don’t even know what I'm doing I've been searching for the answers all this time and every time I felt I Was closer now I pulled back and fell down then I’d pushed back on everyone and thing I couldn’t see under attack I’d feel though blind that I could still see clearly and I’d fight so many battles I’d loose the wars I thought I had won you’re not the only one I find it so hard to tell what is real and what I've made my personal hell what I want and what I need and which signs are telling me what things so I push back on everyone and thing I just can't see under attack I feel though blind that I can still see clearly and I fight so many battles I loose the wars that I think I have won you're not the only one I still feel small when I stand beside the ocean I still get down when I don’t feel true forward motion but I'm learning I’m still learning learning what how who I'm supposed to be listening I'm still listening and still sometimes I can't hear anything I know God has guided me and knows all that I’ve done but If there’s one thing I’m sure of its this I’m not the only one its this I’m not the only one its this I’m not the only one

woke up to disturbing thoughts today but instead of sitting with them I doused myself in the unimportant thrills the web sent my way this cycle can’t continue I know it can’t continue so I’ll share with you a dream I had though I fear it shines a light but fear just keeps the love from showing and it stops my soul mid-flight in my dream I met a man I know and he did things to make me cry I did things that made me question who I really am inside in my vision I was shamed there said I did not what I should he said I know that what you say is right my dear but what we did it felt so good I was trapped in passion prison you the closest thing I had and you Gave in in the moonlight now you are stuck here as I am note the mirrors all around this maze they reflect your walls the only way to free yourself is to forget yourself and push on I ASK YOU please note the mirrors all around this maze they reflect your walls the only way to free yourself is to forget yourself and push on the only way to free yourself is to forget yourself and push on

about

"Strive with all your hearts, raise up your voices and shout, until this dark world be filled with light..."- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Cellar & Sky is composed of some songs written during my final years in Oregon and my first Years in Nashville, TN. (2011-2014) They explore themes of pushing through the trials of life, truly enjoying the sweet moments, and finding comradery in this journey from cellar to sky, earth to heaven, depths to heights. I take comfort in knowing that even in times of despair and loneliness, I don't walk alone. I hope these songs serve your spirits.


Thank you to—H. You are the strongest fiercest woman I know and i’m proud to call you mama! Thank you to Mr. Harrison, Liz Wyatt, and my profs at CHS and LPM. Thank you for SEEING me. Ryan, Marya, Naysan, Camila, Matt, Melissa, Dozier, Vieve, Marie, Tracy, and Karen for your true friendship and for keeping it real! You are forces of well-being and my spirit folk! J-Unit and K-Doge for your encouragement. To Nolan for accompaniment on the path. Bryan and Rory for their unshakable belief and empowerment, and JB for providing necessary swift kicks. To Tommy, Clara, and Gina for your incredible generosity. To Amin and Layli the most exquisite sibs. To the rest of my family and friends who’ve spurred me on and set me straight all on the path! and to you Parker McGee who braved the trenches with me through it all! You made it happen!

My gratitude is as big as the sea.
Love,
Y
