about

December is a hard month.

lyrics

This is not what I expected,
your warm eyes taking in what looks like beauty to you,
still, your hand cups my chin like a bird, like a simple little word
you whisper softly, like it doesn't hurt at all

But don't you see the storm?
But don't you see the storm?

I'm a raging nightmare of a person
A gallery of curtains hiding unforgiving knives
I'm a churning ocean full of wreckage
I know I can't protect you from my barracuda life

I am not what you expected,
Someone sweet taking time to learn the language of your body
Someone easy, someone cool to the touch, like the back side of the pillow
On your wrist, like a glass of lemonade

Can't you feel the fire?
Can't you feel the fire?

You're a man of arrogance and honor,
You pride yourself on kindness but I think that you're naive.
I’m a bag of agitated spiders.
I'm kerosene and lighters and signs that you should leave.

I don't know what to do with patience.
When you lie there tracing fingers on the landscape of my fear
Waiting quietly until I catch my breath, kissing soft behind my ears
Until my skin reveals a roll of old barbed wire

Unfolding in your arms
Unfolding in your arms

I'm a raging nightmare of a person
A gallery of curtains hiding murderers and thieves
I’m a bag of agitated spiders.
I'm kerosene and lighters and I think that you should leave.

about

Jane Brooks Seattle, Washington

I'm new to music. The ukulele is my midlife crisis. I like things simple, plain, sloppy, except of course when I don't. I miss the friends I don't get to see anymore. Sometimes these songs are for them.
