lyrics

She lay breathing a locked room
The earth beneath her spinning round and around
She was hyacinth in bright bloom
With roots that couldn’t reach the ground, cool soft ground
She kept every nightmare
Wide awake terror
Far from her own sight
Tangling pleas of protest
Screams of distress
Quiet as midnight

Closed eyed stare
Sap stuck hair
Hushed while the singers sing
I’ll prefer
To be her
Now I feel everything
Like the sun that shines in the clear blue
And this hope that you love me, too
When I hear your voice asking what’s ours still to do
I changed my mind, I want you

She has never had a lover
Know what she gave up to survive, just survive
Sex was nothing but a cover
For ways she wasn’t yet alive, quite alive
Now you step to meet me
Smile completely
See through to her eyes
Say her name like warning,
“Wake! It’s morning!”
Kissed in your sunrise

Closed eyed stare
Sap stuck hair
Hushed while the singers sing
I’ll prefer
To be her
Now I feel everything
Like the sun that shines in the clear blue
And this hope that you love me, too
When I hear your voice asking what’s ours still to do

I’m sick with what I conceal
Be witness that I am real
Human as I came
In your arms I claim my longing

Closed eyed stare
Sap stuck hair
Hushed while the singers sing
I’ll prefer
To be her
Now I feel everything
Like the sun that shines in the clear blue
And this hope that you love me, too
When I hear your voice asking what’s ours still to do
I changed my mind, I want you
I changed my mind, I want you
I changed my mind, I want you
I changed my mind

Rachel Efron Oakland, California

She takes her influence from The Beatles and Tom Waits, Ben Folds and Feist, alongside the melodic sensibilities of Grieg and Chopin, and the chord voicings of Bill Evans and Brad Mehldau. ... more
