The Purl

I was born on top of the mountain
Held by the wilderness, captured by the nothing
Little did I know, but helplessly hoping
Far, far away from the liberating ocean
Then in a bout of fever
Under shivers I cracked
Did I come out a winner?
Well, will I ever know that?
But I slowly brooded my egg to hatch
Times I felt I failed from the onset
I was lost in that part of the forest
Little did I know, I was close by a short step
Heard the purl and the world blasted open
Then I was gone forever
I would never come back
I’m coming down the river
Down the river I raft
And I’m slowly bringing my sail to mast
Wide open sea, I can see, or I’m trying
I thought I’d be free, but it’s mostly terrifying
Little did I know, here is no place for hiding
Times I miss the times up on the mountain
Then as the rogue wave throws me I am losing my flow
Should I just give myself up to where the wind wants me to go?
Am I only fooling myself?
Am I slowly losing myself?
Am I so many more miles from home?

Some Kind of Berry

Some kind of berry, some kind of poison
Why are you wary?
What are you running away from?
Some kind of berry, some kind of poison
So, are you ready?
To see what you’ve been running away from
How do we get by here
In a world ruled by fear
Will the sun ever rise?

Matanana calls me
Thirsting for a cause
I don’t want to take part
no more no no
poisoning the flaws
Just go just go just go
Run oh run oh run away
Mm you know you know you know
Life gets shorter the longer you stay
They all wanna mark me
Will they will they fuck
No
Watch me as I walk
Watch me as I turn my back to all I thought I was
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani natamani
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani kwenda juu
Disillusion’s caught me
firmly in its claws
Nothing’s gonna stop
this fire burning bridges in my heart
Just go just go just go
Run oh run oh run away
Mm you know you know you know
Life gets shorter the longer you stay
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani natamani
Natamani kwenda juu
Natamani kwenda juu
