Black Locust Grove
From the Queen’s lace
Moss and limestone
From the fur and the fang
Of the hollows
From the creek banks
Under bird song
For the frogs that will sing
Into my bones
From here
In here
From here into my art
I wanna keep it there
Ever my home
I know to feel
In every cell of my parts
Under geode
Broken fossil
Every toad
Garter snake
Sleeping ‘possum
Home in trees where the people don’t crowd me. Let the Green River flood my heart
Carved into the dirt
In every grove
Every cave
Sewn into the land
In every barn
Every grave
Torn into the linings of my mark
Sworn unto the bleedings of my animal parts
My art
It’s from here into my art
I wanna keep it there
Ever I roam
Absorb the smell
In every cell of my parts
In the sweet space
Blood of my home
Growing plant
Solid rock
Aging gravestone
Home in trees where the people don’t crowd me. Let the Green River flood my heart.

Shattered (Full Gospel)
Oh, please stay
This place has fallen apart
Where there’s no peace to be found or recover
The only way
The only taste of delight that brings us closer to death and the end
It’s on the way
Between the start and the blight
When all the curtains come down to discover
No other way
My will is bent to the fight and I don’t want to let go ‘til the end
'Cause I just want to be your lover
And I would love to be your friend
Withholding face to the light
Another glimpse of the night
In my disgrace I belong
To this dark, dead end
Oh, what a day
Whatever’s left of my heart
There’s nothing left to repair for another
We couldn’t play
We wouldn’t pick it apart when there’s no peace to be found in the end
And come what may
Our spirits shattered and tight
To where the curtains pull back to discover
We tried in vain
We never wanted the fight but there’s no place we can go, in the end
But I just want to be your lover
And I’d still love to be your friend
Withhold my face from the light
Let’s give ourselves to the night
In our defeat we belong
To this dark, dead end
(Solo)
Repeat first chorus
