Low

Stuck stuck on it
Can’t seem to get a break from it
It's deep inside my brain
Not processing a thing
So close to it
But can’t seem to get a grip on it
At times it slips away
At times I like to stay
On bad days I can’t climb out of my bed
‘Cuz it loves when I’m sad
I wonder how much longer I can stay
Without anyone noticing me
am I noticing me
I know how hard it is
but can I be kind to myself
the patience it takes to be kind to yourself
leaning on love
that good strong healing love
I want to let go, of feeling so Low
On good days the light draws me back in
breathing deep again
I take note, affirming staying afloat
holding myself close
holding my joy close
I'm noticing me
I know how hard it is
but I can be kind to myself
the patience it takes to be kind to yourself
leaning on love
that good strong healing love
I can let go, of feeling so Low
I know how hard it is
we oughtta be kind to ourselves
the patience it takes to be kind to yourself
leaning on love
that good strong healing love
we oughtta let go of feeling so Low

What's The Point
04:16

They say its over you should give in
But it's hard when you're so sweet when you're crying
But you're needing more than I have to give
And you say its fine, but darling that aint living
So tell me now what's the point of dreaming?
If you're not ever gonna change?
I'm packing my things and I will leave ya
Cuz this aint the life I dreamed
No no no this aint the life I dreamed
Hold me and let me breath you in
And step back and let me take in your image
But you're needing more than I got to give
And you say its fine, but darling that aint living
So tell me now what's the point of dreaming?
If you're not ever gonna change?
I'm packing my things and I will leave ya
Cuz this aint the life I dreamed
No no no this aint the life I dreamed
Its not the life I dreamed
No no no this aint the life I dreamed
this aint the life I dreamed
No no no this aint the life I dreamed

When the Snow Falls
03:48
|

The season hits you in the face
Right in the face
Out of nowhere
I’ve stayed strong
Been killing it for so long
On my own
But when the snow falls
And we sing those songs
Is when I miss you
Eating all day long
But can’t seem to get full, I don’t feel full
Making plans though I know I’ll cancel them
Can’t stop sleepin in
Thinkin bout all the gifts I won’t get
I wish we’d never met
When the snow falls
And we sing those songs
Is when I miss you
eating all day long
But can’t seem to get full
I don’t feel full
Then when Christmas comes
I have to get to the bottom of my issues
And when all is said and done
Just got a whole lot more cold months
To try and forget you
Bundle up to go out for a walk
Look up to the cold sun

The Rope
04:16
|

There’s an old tale of the farmer who goes out
To tend his flock in the middle of a wild and frightening snow.
As to not get lost he ties a rope to
his home and out to the place his work asks him to go.
And though the blizzard is strong
And though the night is long
He counts on his rope to guide him home
My love you are the rope that guides me home through the storm
And i know if i just hold on even when my sight is gone
You’ll guide me home.
And through our years of weathering storms
we’ll have to make sure to tend to the frays
So when you find yourself in the middle of a wild and frightening snow
You’ll grab the rope
My love I’ll be the rope that guides you home through the storm
And you’ll know just to hold on even when your sight is gone
I’ll guide you home
And sure, the blizzard is strong
and sure the night is long
so count on our love to guide you home

Better Me
03:33
|
|||
It's like walking through sinking sand
I struggle to put on a brave face
but my smile betrays me
Im stuck and I can not get out
I sink down the more I try to grow and change
And I don't push myself oh I'm scared if I do
I won't measure up no I can't prove
Can I be better at being who I am?
So heavy, why do we carry our doubt and shame all over the place?
Try to give myself grace, but I falter because I am afraid
of what they will say
And I don't open up oh I'm scared if I do
my weakness will give them the proof
Can I better at being who I am?
Can I be better at loving who I am?
I can forgive myself when all my jumbled words don't come out right
I can have patience with myself when I am having a rough time
I can love myself so I can love the others in my life
And I'll be better at being who I am
And I'll be better at loving who I love
And I'll be better at loving who I love
And I'll be better at loving who I love
And I'll be better at loving who I love

Doin the Work
03:22
|

Late night going deep in my head
Looking for the person who said
You’re a no go hold on to that wallet
Everyday it comes back in
Second guessing each little win
All while I’m embarrassed I can’t let it go
But, we’re here to please
Going wide with our smiles and with our knees
You fake it til you make it
I look ahead as you take back these years
Gribbing tighter to control of our fears
Oh is my body mine or is my body yours
All while we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know
we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know
we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know
Hypermasculinity
Eyes that just don’t want to see
Ears that don’t know how to hear
The privilege to be destructive
But we’ll fight back everyday
In our volumes in our ways
Not leaving behind anyone
Centered in our freedom
Not leaving behind anyone
All while we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know
we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know
we’re doing the work and you’re getting the show
And the saddest thing is you don’t even know

Lonely To My Bones
03:51
|
|||
There was a time when I was a lone ranger
I stayed away from boys and I kept my heart from danger
and then one day, one day something changed
Now I'm lonely to my bones
And that ain't good
If I could if I could I'd reinvent myself
Move across the seas, to find that missing piece
To find love, true love
but all I'd find is a better piece of mind and that'd be fine
But I'd be lonely to my bones
And that ain't good
I had a lot of friendships and all we did was fight
I couldn't let go of my stubborn heart, and then they left me
Yea, just like they said they would
Now I'm lonely to my bones
And that ain't good
If I could if I could I'd reinvent myself
Move to New York City
Walk the crowded streets till my feet turned blue
Head to the bars, talk with strangers till the early hours
But I'd be lonely to my bones
And that ain't good
Some day I'll pack my car up and take off with my dog
We'd head around the country, sleep in parking lots
and I'd be happy, you know I truly would
If I could if I could I'd reinvent myself
Move to Ashville, buy myself a house in the woods in the woods
Spend everyday on that Blue Ridge Parkway
But I'd be lonely to my bones
And that ain't good
I'd be lonely to my bones
And that ain't good no good no good
I'd be lonely to my bones
And that ain't good

One Breath
02:36
|

When your heart is weak will yours be strong?
When my bones become brittle will you carry on?
When my breath is shallow will you breath for me?
When my hope grows dark will you shine for me?
And I will ask you many times knowing your answers yes
But its nice to hear your voice and your comforting caress
Your heart won't become weak because we're strong
Your bones won't become brittle we will carry on
Your breath won't be shallow cuz our breath is one
Your hope won't grow dark cuz our love shines on
And I will tell these things so many times
I love to hear you laugh
and I like to see you smile
and you make my life worth while
So relax

Mothers and women grown, the Twins’ music reflects the fact that the good things in life are made clearer by complexity — just like how their sweet feminine harmonies have found new relief atop the rock sound of their newest album, This Life. ... more
