about

This song has always been hard. it's taken me 3 years to get it down. It reflects on a woman i knew that died in a house fire, subdued by the power of drink and pills.

It reflects on the generational trauma passed down from drug and alcohol abuse. it reminds us we can re-parent. It reflects on our need to forgive our parents. This song teaches us that our parents did their best with the level of consciousness provided to them This song reminds us we are loved, despite the tragedy that paints our origins.

Let it shed light on how the self can manifest it's destruction. transmute that with me.

always with love

lyrics

your momma died in a house fire, baby
with a wolf at the door
she shed all of her musings , mi mama
so she could soar

a row of fine rhododendrons cover her tomb
she wanted me to tell you she loves you

the town lost an angel baby
a wild woman too
she'd often ask the question
what're you gunna do

she'd play cards with all the men
and baseball in the moonlight
her daddy would find out about it
and soon call the law
oh but if it weren't for her we'd not know our flaw

your mam died in a house fire baby
with a wolf at the door

yer momma died in a house fire, baby
with a wolf at the door

she she'd all of her musings
for one last score
a row of fine rhododendrons
cover her tomb
and she wanted me to tell you she loved you

well the dam finally broke baby
and the bottle did too
n she wanted me to tell you she loves you
