you will educate yourself better
and not succumb to feeling stupid and unloveable
when you don’t know things
or can’t follow or contribute to a conversation
you will try harder to give the good parts of yourself
to the people you care about
in healthy and normal ways
and channel the difficult parts into creative output
you will be reliable
and strive to be enjoyable to work with
and be around
Erst Demut - Mach Demut
when the thoughts come
escape to the pain of love
and letting go
but when the thoughts come
escape to the sounds of us
and image flow
and when the thoughts come
escape with what your fingers do
and not to the cup
and if they still will come and it’s not enough
escape can be rough
but you owe it to yourself
to be kind to your body
This collection of six fiddle songs is dark in color and mood, with Mattrey treating her instrument with ghostly digital effects. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2021
