Songs for a Solstice

It's dark times and it is the darkest day of the year, so why not get together to find our way out the other side? Part discussion, part celebration, part frustration, we invite the audience to join us in the fabrication of a holiday that moves us.

They made up bitcoin, 
why can’t I make up us. 
Why can’t I will that towards existence. 

Crush the Distance 
too much room for jesus 
Put some daylight right between us

Come
Home

You’re the boat,
I’m marooned
in this godforsaken room

I’ll forget the tune. 
Forget the moon from when we
fucked in White River Junction last June. 

Come home for the solstice
Come home
Cause the one who loved you most is
Not your lover anymore. 
She gives some, I’ll give you more. 

COME HOME
She gives some, I’ll give you more.
COME HOME
She gives some, I’ll give you more. 
COME HOME
She gives some, I’ll give you more.
