Song for Myself

A stranger on a screen
Is changing everything for me
I’m as far away from my front yard as I have ever been
Will I always wonder the story behind my last name
Stop asking what I’m sorry for
The answer is always everything
This is a song for myself
Because I need it
This is a song where my love
Lives with its habits
We Are Each Other’s Harvest
I am my eager to please people complex
Sit down Claire and let’s talk
About why you’ve been inside for so long
Soon I’ll be leaning back in my body
Swim in Erie even though it’s so dirty
I’ve been shallow and I’ve been mean
But it’s not all I can be
This is a song for myself because I need it
And it’s kind of for everyone else
If they hear it
I’m going where I’m going
I’m going outside

Nothing, Nothing

Took you to my favorite spot
near the red town on the lake
& we sat there throwing thoughts at a tree
Now you’re there permanently
College town a few miles south
you took me to the green and touched my mouth
I wanna go back and touch myself
Reclaim my skin
Nothing, nothing will remind me of you anymore
A strand of hair is still on my jacket
From when last time I saw you and I’d had it
That Cleveland suburb's drowning in a bath of you
And I won’t return if I don’t have to
Nothing, nothing will remind me of u anymore
I walk away, I start anew, I don’t do things that we used to
Ignore the signs out of the blue that make me think of you

Hundreds of Mothers

The victory hotel
Was the biggest in the country til it fell
Burned down
Walk to its spectral pool
The fence was locked so I stood and just thought
of how
I am a showcase of remains
My hair contains
The DNA of my mother
My hundreds of mothers
Put a crown on my head
Tell me I’m the best
There’s a bursting in the chest
Painted in a shade of red
A slow and stern coming to terms
With my sturdy hand and her sideswept glance
I am a showcase of remains
My hair contains
The DNA of my mother
My hundreds of mothers

I-90

I am 24 years old & I don’t like to leave my parents' home
I went off for a few years but I don’t like the feeling of being on my own
I am 24 years old and my younger brother has more money than me
And I don’t sit around I work and I think about how I can be contributing
I can’t stop spending my time on things I don’t need
My ex said it’s becoming a habit for me
I can’t even cry anymore and everything’s worth crying for
Now I’m back with a guy who said he didn’t like me
But he’s being nice and he said sorry and that’s all I need for now
My best friend from high school is married with a baby on the way
And I wonder if I’ll ever feel a love like that someday
And I don’t even cry anymore
I just can’t stop keeping score
A rat race
A time machine
A hamster wheel
A day dream
A bookmark
A checkpoint
A restart
A highlight
A milestone
A keynote
A picture
On a flip phone
A honda
On i-90
Driving farther from my family
White knuckling
the steering wheel
And you call
Feels like a big, big deal
