I seen the emotion
come into your face
the tears for your brother
you tried to apologize for crying and I wouldn't let you
and I knew then why
I love you

I seen the emotion
come into your face
the tears for your brother
you tried to apologize for crying and I wouldn't let you
and I knew then why
I love you
they ditched the stolen bmw
on this small road that elbows off the avenue
the only witness the strawberry
moon

the summer still carried faint traces of freedom on its salty humid breath. kids being let out of school. the final bell. plans to fill the car up and travel to the shore and look out and imagine you were at the end of the world. the heat deep enough to melt all the clocks and short circuit the power grid. all the machines stopping. sending us home from work. #katyamills
I confess I am beat up, not so proud, not so smart as I once was, quite shredded from those years of rushing toward danger, trying to see how I match up against things much bigger. I know how to love and be loved. That is enough. I found my place in the world. #katyamills
I got off my shift and you just started yours
sleeves rolled up we exchange uplifting words
we are workers. we make our freedom! this is how we live
