I hope when she’s rolling him over
when he’s stroking her hair and cupped in her palms
Like creekwater and peaches
I hope his body gives out on him
I hope his legs become wet reeds
I hope he sleeps and sees me, wakes and sees me
Tries every bitter, bored cure for his aches and sees me,
I hope his heart reels and his bark peels
I hope she renders him artless
And he finds the rottenest love, and drags around the dead carcass.
Because….
Sometimes you gotta just wish’em the best, sometimes you gotta be mad as hell
When the love of your life is a narcissist, and you couldn't keep the peace he wouldn't make with himself
Well there’s a bright, bright, bright, bright, bright side to leaving
You can believe it even when it’s looking grim
And it takes a long, long, long, long time to get on top of all the grieving
But he was a season that you could not remain in.
Remain, remain, remain, remain, remain at peace with yourself
And the rest will fall right into place
Don’t hate, don’t hate, don’t hate, don’t hate, don’t hate
What you can’t change about him, you can live without him
You can live, you can live, you can live, you can live,
You can live, you can live, you can live, you can live
You can live
You can live
You can live
You don’t need that shit.
Harrisburg-based folk-adjacent band led by Tara Toms, featuring long-winded, heavily-harmonized love songs,
existential euphoria, linear melodies and circular conversations with a pinch of twang and the occasional polyrhythm.
