John Van Deusen- Soundings in Fathoms
Let’s Be Completely Honest - And The Moon Be Still As Bright
Even now, with only a glimpse of your presence, I rejected the others in hopes of your essence.
Becoming the warmth that I hope to embed- I swear that I meant it, the truth that I said, for the reason I can’t for the life of me find.. I suddenly want to be sober of mind.
I think it’s because I’d do anything if you gave me a chance. Let me jump from your cliff.
Local PNW band, Cumulus, is releasing their first full band album ‘I Never Meant It To Be Like This’ on May 21st!
They just released this single yesterday, and I’m pretty sure I have already listened to it fifteen times.
Let it go - The Lonely Forest
Pierced in the heart by a sinister dark, thrown from and insecure tongue.
Unaware of the arrow sticking out of her chest, embedded when she was so young.
I never would have thought that the poison would rot away and away and away.
It eats at her pride, and she constantly hides afraid of what others will say
And often at night she turns out the light, anxiously waiting for sleep.
The world of her dreams is better it seems; there she can finally be free
But the arrow it stays; its there when she wakes, binding her feet to the ground.
Perpetually holding her back from her goals, a mountain she can’t get around.
Let it go dear. And let your worries fall.
Let it go dear. Nothing to fear at all.
Now she is old, her body is cold, alone in the bed as she cries.
Nobody visits and tells her how, alone she quietly closes her eyes.
Through all of her days, arrows remain, never permitting release.
And with her last breath she is waiting for death. Hoping and ready for Peace.
Let it go, dear.
