I tie my hair like you did As if I'm supposed to, yeah I'm safe in a vision of you Lean in the doorway Giving me glints You say "goodnight Let me know if it hits" What are these fleeting moments? These inclinations? I look to aurora sky Is this the closest we'll get? Or will our worlds weave again? It's alright Wish you best until then Maybe sudden and silly Is it all in my head? All I know is I wanna be your friend

When I went to the store Half the girls maybe more Looked exactly how I wanna be 'Course I've felt it before But it struck me and poured out I was wishing for a different body Half the time I meet someone I feel like I might slip and fall But it's in vain if they think I'll be there man Just wanna be their girl (I had this dream) In a house by the shore two horses argued ignoring me I'm on the floor, no plans Once I get out the door Notebook washed up on the shore In big letters, it said "TRANS" Sometimes I know I can be who I wanna be Sometimes feels like no one sees me how I wanna be seen Wish I fit these high waisted jeans ...but really, i know who i am, regardless of assignment or what anyone else sees. I know what i see.

Loveshifts 03:19
I think I don't know what love is But I've been in it before It got switched out with the feeling Of you closing the door In love you share your worries You were afraid of being a bore I didn't understand that 'till your interest was no more Am I just another fool who thought they knew Something for sure? Am I just another fool who thought they knew Something for sure? I guess I don't know what love is But I've been in it before You turned on me I'm reeling Trust fell out with the floor In love you share your worries You were afraid of being a bore I didn't understand that 'till your interest was no more But I'm not just another fool for feeling blue Cat that's crying at the door I'm not just another fool for feeling blue It's part of the core Oh our love was something else Now it's notebooks on the shelf Oh our love was something true flitting by and passing through...

Storm Dust 03:01
I’ve been looking lost I’ve been making excuses I block everything out No picking and choosing Dunk my head under Get down to it Meet in triangle No winning or losing Self doubt holds me from the goal Like drought in wet season It’s the eye of the storm Its the heart of the demon Scattered about Ripping to pieces Homesick for some places I didn’t believe in

Grew 02:37
Baby come on I wanna hear your song How come you tucked away The thing you love? Who told you that you sounded Silly inside Watch for concoctions of the Self-hating mind Oh, don't take it to heart It'll take you apart It'll take you apart What did you hear? They said it would fade away But it only grew But it only grew Baby come on I wanna hear your song How come you tucked away The thing you love?

Harbinger 02:24
Sun is red from smoke All day till it's gone I lay back in the water... In the stars above the lake They're tryna take you up To let you shine with them They're tryna lift you up, Get high with them Wonder where I've been Callings from my kin, That's all I can remember I came back where I entered

Paws Up! 02:50
Have I been here before? Or is it something I made up instead? Have I been here before? Is it about to begin again? I know that we can go another way Somehow we lose our sense of place I know that we can go another way Somehow there's a shift in time and space

Crumble 02:53
I know its not the best time I know its not the best I know its not the best time I know it doesn’t make sense I know it doesn’t But I think we’re gonna be fine I know its not the best time I know its not the best But I think we’re gonna be fine There’s growth within decay It’s happening all the time These structures, they will crumble In time

Pages 02:16
Looking for the pages That I ripped out Looking for the pages Got tossed in doubt Pieces of the picture Swallowed inside Looking out the window Between the blinds Looking for the pages That I ripped out Looking out the window Step outside

In the same raft, I've been drifting Wide open sea I remember when the dam fell Current pulled me down Washed away Everything I knew Back then, didn't see it as a blessing I was so ashamed, before boundlessness, yeah It's pretty dark, on the wide open sea I remember when the dam fell Current pulled me down Washed away everything I knew I needed that, I was out of control I didn't see my actions take a toll I remember when the dam fell Current pulled me down Washed away Everything I knew

Rollerblading down the hallway Flicking glitter from our fingers Time is phasing out, slow motion Faces glowing, glances linger You look to me with love You look to me with love You lift me up above You lift me up above

about

‘Cobbler’ is a fifteen track album that I made from fall 2020 through fall 2021, a capsule of songs and sound-worlds recorded in bedrooms in MA and CA during seasons 89-92 of my life.

thank you to all my friends/listeners, your loving pushes and encouragements make it possible.
