Written during a second stint at Art Farm, October 2018
lyrics
One found us, my sister - in a dream
She pulled us from the banquet hall - safe and seen
The light bathed green - eerie sweet, child dream
She spared us in that quiet room those whitewashings
The coming cold
I studied up indifference shut out neighbor’s need
And the stop sign holds some shotgun holes I can’t read
A braille I must decipher — trust that love can grow
Between the coasts, the blood that boasts
Amer-alone-ican
The bar-fight night — We sit inside
Amer-alone-ican
The distant lights - take me outside
Amer-alone-ican
