Time 02:57
do you know how the story goes? when we show up we learn so much there’s still so much that we don’t know how to hold it close how to let it go radiant child we created life and we are tied together forever in time maybe it’s time when you go away I go away too and we exist in our separate spaces when I return you return too let’s appreciate all of our different faces let’s live our lives what we want and what we don’t want we decide and the truth exists somewhere in the mix and it’s alright no matter what it’s alright when there’s love

Spider 04:33
you you you you we both knew we both knew we both knew that this life that this time that this round would take me down with your soft belly and your soft eyes you’d undress me from my disguise you you you won’t accept no lies you you you down between my thighs you you you as the spiral winds you you you as the spiders bite you you you and your words went right into me arrows marked and now I bleed like a cardinal in the treetops I sing of a garden where we are free of a garden where we are free we are free dim the lights you talk monday night 8’clock and the magic we created we gave her a name and then my blood came and she ran ran down my leg you you you felt me break you you you kept me straight you you you on the dock by the lake you you you curse of fate and your words went right into me arrows marked and now I bleed like a cardinal in the treetops I sing of a garden where we are free of a garden where we are free we are free

Tides 02:46
a distant draw and I wanna dive in fighting the tides of conflict intensify the push and pull and twist up my heart so skillful total control play to win it all drops away give me the tunnel vision moment of truth and we pick up speed all past regrets all wash clean hold up now let's take a step back it's coming around a little too fast the curves are steep and the drop is high let's just breath and give it time let's just be and let's just try and we will see when we close our eyes we’re the sea we’re the tides no in between it’s only light

I’m so ready to get down don’t hold back my magic powers something for later your body on mine my god those thighs how much I need you as slow as I can I still do another chance your scent on my clothes the next day long moment to remember well baby I’m here I’m not going to lie your deep voice in my ear I’ll make you feel right and just get crazy total honesty I wouldn’t have stopped I wanted it all I was doomed you stood up so damn tall I almost lost my mind you were right there it was so easy my hands everywhere I have a weakness parallel world soft sweet center it’s too damn good every inch turn me out on the floor all your power not everyone can say it makes life worth living one day I’m going to take it and you won’t know which way is up the hottest thing I’ve ever held my ultimate surrender to your world

Melt away 04:49
love is most nearly itself when the here and now is all that matters can we put it high upon the shelf? can we climb down from the ladder? and we gave our word we said let's do what's right won't let the colors blur gotta keep within the lines but are we sure do we believe the lie how will we endure what lives inside love is most nearly itself when the here is all that matters can we put it high upon the shelf? can we climb down from the ladder? and it was like no time had passed since we were together last right back where we began oh how we both dove right in but then tomorrow came and in floods the pain oh baby you know it just aint the same when we're in each other's arms we just melt away we just melt away we just melt away we just melt away love is nearly itself when the here and now Is all that matters can we put it high upon the shelf? can we climb down from the ladder? love is nearly itself when the here and now Is all that matters can we put it high upon the shelf? can we climb down from the ladder? and melt away we just melt away we just melt away we just melt away

In the wings 03:37
oh my love you're in the air on the sheets and in my hair as I let you in you take me there once again how we dared oh my love this is our life it's up to us to decide can we walk in darkness and in light? how much do we fight? oh my love I want you to know that I see you I won't go nowhere never leave you oh even though this is the path we must walk down I'm right by your side I'm here can you feel me now? oh my love I'm in the wings cast in shadow smiling all in black wearing the ring as I watch you laughing oh my love I want you to know that I see you I won't go nowhere never leave you oh even though this is the path we must walk down I'm right by your side I'm here can you feel me now?

not a day goes by where I don’t have to try each moment rolls away here i stay don’t matter what we did or who you think I am or who I think you are or why we let it go so far can you feel the weight? as we reach through the space don’t matter the gate this love will escape oh the love will escape every morning I rise I look into my own eyes to my reflection I say what I need baby go anyway you please and my heart expands shattering all my plans I want to pull you in skin to skin and begin again where do we go? when we’re so close where do we start? where we’re lost in the halls of the heart can you feel the weight? as we reach through the space don’t’ matter the gate this love will escape oh the love will escape where do we go? when we’re so close where do we start? where we’re lost in the halls of the heart

about

THE GARDEN is my second solo album of 2019.

It follows my first release DEER AND THE SNOW, which is a ambient folk album dedicated to exploring my inner wintery landscape and relationship with self.

THE GARDEN is a beat-diver, electronic tribute to my wild summers of turbulent love and lust over the last twenty plus years. It is the harvest of my relationship struggles past and present, and an ode to the confusing process of navigating my bodily and heart-filled desires within the confines of a oppressive over-culture as a person in a female body.

These songs are earnest expressions of my sensual authenticity, my real life fantasies come true, my unrequited heartbreaks, my shroud of shame, and my self-actualized redemption into my own garden of earthly delights - into which you all are invited to play with me.

I want to sincerely thank all my lovers throughout time for being my most humbling of teachers.
Huge thank you to all my friends, family, and healing community for seeing me through the messy ups and downs.
And as always, thank you to all of you who listen and support my art. Especially all of you rebel witches and sluts out there who are trying to live your best lives. I hope you make out (and more) to this album. Please dance to it naked whenever possible.
Let us together raise the ancient temples of pleasure once more.
This is the magic I am casting here.
May it be oh so good. And so it is.
