When I was a kid, my mom always told me I could befriend my demons and other adversarial beings by "giving them a cookie", figuratively speaking. Thats kind of what this song is about.
You can find me befriending shadows and creating home in rural illinois in the music video here: youtu.be/GUEBVVyYLEc?si=3sKUqkMHBKZe04IS
11/22, my birth day, and the feast day of St. Cecelia, patron saint of music!
Sing on.
lyrics
I can’t forget
Truth has a grip on me
I won’t let it slip
Shimmer like a memory
Welcome home look at me in my long blue dress
Welcome home did you see the arrows
All alone bare feet in my long blue dress
All I did was follow the arrows
Make a plate and leave it at the door
Bread and honey
What the hell are you fighting me for
You don’t belong to me
I can’t forget
Truth has a grip on me
I won’t let it slip
Shimmer like a memory
Welcome home look around you’ve been here before
Welcome home take your place at the table
Don’t forget there’s a star in your apple core
Thread yourself through the eye of the needle
Half moon I know that you’re complete
Don’t let them trick you
In the your darkest hour when you can’t be seen
That’s when you’re new
I can’t forget
Truth has a grip on me.
