We're the Light 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Friendship is really weird I think it's for the birds Like you and me Like us, we'll see That time is pretty strange And people they get to change Their minds or their flight paths Endlessly And night is coming through It's breaking what we knew Exposing the things that weren't true At all Cause we believed in outer space Like darkness had a place In minds and hearts that was worth Holding onto But I know now what I never knew that That darkness will swallow you Unless you claim your self dear Oh I know this now That darkness will eat you alive Until you are nothing all the way down Deep inside It'll eat your bones and your eyeballs too It'll swallow you Ooooh Unless you say it out loud Say it out loud Say it with me now I'm the light I'm the point of light I'm the point I'm the point I'm the thing it wants I'm the light I'm the light I'm the light And so are you. Oooh I'm the light And you're the light too.

Dream Coming True 05:18

I can feel the rainbow Deep inside my heart Flying like a flight path Like a work of art And it scares me like a river Like a rainstorm from a friend I didn't know I'd meet again Here And street cred feels like flying Feels like dancing in the night With rainbows sparkling in your vision In the light And I'm sorry for the ways I let you down Wasn't around Wasn't a friend to you A friend you would know you knew From the moment you saw them shining, dear They were bright like a light from a lions mouth Never fear There's hope There's hope There's hope for you Like a dream coming true Cause there is no such thing as a dream come true Look backwards to look forwards Would you? Would you? All this time spent in other worlds Makes you scared of ways you might get hurt Or are you running away to circumvent the truth you knew in your bones Are you afraid Are you afraid in ways you've never known Like a song that wants to go home Like a poem finds the ending It just knows And I'm scared of the ways I loved you And I'm scared of the dreams you made for me And I'm scared of the memories I left here The work there is to do for you Dear And I'm sorry for the ways I left you in the dark Alone And you thought it was something you did Wrong But you were like a unicorn in a field at night You were so bright We didn't know you We didn't know what to do We didn't know the truth you knew We didn't know we didn't know we didn't know we didn't know But now we do Now we do

The Soil, The Sun 06:09
lyrics
buy track
I remember when you said you're not afraid to die And all the people that you would be sad to leave behind Well you've considered moving almost ten or twenty times Are you sad at all to leave them Do you realize the lies that you're telling Because of all your trauma Here Are you sad to be rooted in a state of being that was chosen for you Not the other way around Well I know that it's scary but that's how ground is. That's how things get grounded Like seeds falling from the sky Like points of light They choose to fall But really do they choose the ways they'll land Or, well, minimally I guess they let the wind blow them Aimlessly Away from all those rocks and trees Into that fertile soil Can you feel it? The soil and the sun dear I know you're scared to have only just begun here To have only just begun dear You've only just begun here Can you put things on a map and leave them Or does the fear win again Does the fear win again Can you feel it here? Can you feel it in the air? The saddest of hearts get broken before they've even started to make their peace The saddest of lies get told before they've been breathed in And how How I breathe you now How I've held this truth in my bones for years And let it out here I wanna flow dear Transitioning into a world I never knew I'm so afraid of you all letting me down The way I've always let myself down too I didn't mean to choose Like seeds from the sky Like stars in your eyes I fell in a general direction Oh Midwest I thought you were the best For a kind heart Needing direction Of love for a planet For a lake you took for granted Most your life Oh Lake Michigan You'll do How I love you But how I love the ocean blue too Sorry for the times I spent Bein scared Sorry for the breath I spent Complaining Instead of preparing Cause being prepared Sounded so much scarier than just complaining (About bein scared) (I like complaining about being too scared to move) (Deer frozen) (Oh dear, you've been frozen) I know that they might hate you I know that some will hate you But someday they might love you And some already love you They do. <3

about

These songs were written in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 18th 2023. One song per friend visited (written just after). It's a moment in time that means a lot to me, as I felt a transformation in each moment, each conversation, and then (subsequently) each song.

For studio music, visit my new page jessicawolfbird.bandcamp.com

For kids music (including yesterday's second Dreambird release), visit dreambird.bandcamp.com

For lofi jams, stick around. Who knows, I think this will be / become (what it's already been?) my spaghetti thrown at the wall page. It's very hard to organize a million or honestly a couple hundred creations per year. This place in the etherverse makes it easier, infinitely.

Take care, kind hearts. xo
