With cheeks like pillows
I dream of leaning against my grandmother willow
A balance beam beneath my feet so little
I can’t believe I made it here to the middle of everything
I know I must make time to fill my cup
Priorities like vines keep crawling up
And if I drink those lies I might throw up because
I know I cannot be made to lose my
Cheeks like pillows
My grandma told me that I have already been home
Knows I’ve been searching so much more than a zip code
Spiritual Zillow
I know I know identity
I know that it’s already me
And not any answer to
So what are you
Baby don’t answer to
So what are you
I'm just a gram like you
So who are you
A human through and through
We hyphey up on a school night
Got the kool aid we hair dye
Stolen eyeliner so glossy
Fake tattoos till the sunrise
Still got photos of your granny
Know I ain’t even sure why
Ain’t even sure why
Ain’t even sure why
So when you asked for my opinion, I could tell we were still tight
Like the jeans around our thighs
Wearing things for the first time
Pour that chili pepper limón salt on cucumbers all night
You can always crash here
Don’t really need an invite
Not any answer to
So what are you
Baby don’t answer to
So what are you
I'm just a gram like you
So who are you
A human through and through
One day you will wake up and you’ll feel
One day you will wake up and you’ll feel at home
One day you will wake up and you’ll feel
You can carry it
You can carry it with you
You can carry it
Carry it with you

Twisting my hair around braids
Like they had me running down every staircase
They're tryna see me outta breath
They're dyin’ to see that I'm fully authentic as flesh
I can feel in my gut like I already know
I've got satellites, spirits, and angels
but I think they might be the same though
I think they might be the same though
I keep my ear to the ground when I walk
Feet feel deep underground like I might pull up roots when I cross
Heart so green like a moss
Grown in the shade now I shine like a boss
And fruit like a lot
I remember those days when I didn't really know
if I would ever age, or if I'd be giving up
But I'm glad I found a way
Steady growing
Knowing
Know I stand to gain
Know I stand to conquer
I can channel rainbows in my hands like chompanyankas
Know I had to find a way
Steady growing
Knowing
Know I stand to gain
Know I stand to conquer
I can channel Venus in my veins as much as Mars and there were times I thought that Pluto was my hometown
But I can feel the truth is in my bones now
I think they might be the same though
I think they might be the same though
I keep my ear to the ground when I walk
Feet feel so deep underground like I might pull up roots when I cross
Heart so green like a moss
Grown in the shade now I shine like a boss
And fruit like a lot
My love
Can you even feel it?
I can channel rainbows in my hands like chompanyankas
I think they might be the same though
Roots
My love
Can you even feel it?

White rabbit on April fools
Got a habit of breaking the rules
From that day he stayed a long time
Never went in any top hats
Never pulled him up by his ears
For audiences to cheer at
It's not a secret what I'm about to do
Sometimes I believe
Six impossible things before
If I was time would you handle me deeply
If I was time would you handle me
Or let me go
Don't let me go
Wise habits on April fools
Got my magic and my tinker tools
Far away I had a long climb
Better ways of saying stop that
Better pull me up by these years for audiences to cheer at
It's not a secret what I'm about to do
Sometimes I believe
Six impossible things before
If I was time would you handle me deeply
If I was time would you handle me
Or let me go
Don't let me go
If I was time would you
Would you handle
Would you handle
All you ever needed, love
Well you can find it in your soul
And if you need it now
Then kindly ask for it to show itself
Revealing how
I’m gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
I kinda have to see my growth to get the feeling out
I'm gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
kindly askin’ it to show itself
Revealing how
I’m gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
All you ever needed, love
Well you can find it in your soul
And if you need it now
Then kindly ask for it to show itself
Revealing how
I’m gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
I kinda have to see my growth to get the feeling out
I'm gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
kindly askin’ it to show itself
Revealing how
I’m gonna find it in my soul
Because I need it now
There is absolutely no reason to leave before the miracle begins

I’m learning to trust the pull of my feet
I’m flying by liberty
Empty and full
Iridescent and oxidizing
Eyes wide
Choosing words for these illusions
Meeting for the first time again
Choosing words for these illusions
Meeting for the first time again

Sealed Up With Gold

We’ve been making packing things down a competitive sport
I can fit the place where I sleep in the palm of my hand
How heavy is yours?
What’s the volume and weight?
How long will it take to stop taking up space?
Well I feel expansive, boundless
All your ties cannot be bound around me
All that rises with the sun becomes me
People say I talk in my sleep like I’m showing my hand
I hold onto a wakening key. I can fly when it lands
How heavy is yours?
What’s the volume and shape?
How long will it take till they take you to space?
Well I feel expansive, boundless
All your ties cannot be bound around me
All that rises with the sun becomes me
I am the gift and I am the goal
I had my rifts sealed up with gold
And I cannot say I did it alone
They did it, she did it, he did it, we did it
All is abounding
All is abounding
All is abounding

Can I call it a fact yet?
You’ve got the file
You’ve got the notion
If you read it a while
…it turns into an ocean of love
It really does
I know you want permanence here
If for only this one thing
Running through fingers all down the drain pipe
How is it we feel everything?
We must be
Can I call it a fact yet?
You’ve got the file
I went walking a mile
In my heart fully open
…it turned into an ocean of love
It really was
How is it I feel everything?
