lyrics

My little brother’s getting married this winter

And my sisters son is our guide to

All the light we want but could not see

I watched them grow as I was still growing

Tried to teach them things I didn’t know

And I see that they have taught me too

He used to pull out my hair

And now I watch as he stares

Into the eyes of one he has chosen to love

How you live is how you love

My mom she taught us to stick with each other

And my Dad he showed us how to recover

In a world that wants to numb it all

We’re trading days in the soft night of the evening

Smell of basil and city fills the air

Repeat the same bits as if we’ve never heard them

Laughing at the rhyme and not the joke

Someday I know this will end

Roads they converge and will bend

Be it famine or feud or tragedy due

I’m glad I shared these years with you

about

xioma Columbus, Ohio

i tell new pals i grew up in a bomb shelter when they are not understanding that i do not get their pop culture reference.

“but that show is REALLY FAMOUS.”
“bomb shelter.”
and then they get it. but the bomb shelter is a metaphor (?). in truth, i was raised in a fundie christian home.

i write music to process my shame/grief/rage/gratitude around it all.

ty for being here. <3
