2. DEFINITY INDEFINITELY
Words and music by Rebecca Kelley

Fleeting thoughts tying knots in Indefinity
Grasp at shards parce the cards of fixed reality
Indefinitely

Our dreams they sweep
Through darkest sleep
They bend the things we see
My eyes between what’s dark and seen
Twist being, hold me separately
Still desperately this being craves
Connect me to infinity
Direct me sweet divinity
Yet hold me to the earthly things that be indefinitely

I reach for what is soft yet held aloft
Yet here for me to grasp
I have only to ask

With words succinct not what I think
But what in every heart’s already known
Sex color size cannot disguise
The soul the sea in your eyes
Just let it rise indefinitely

We’re the thieves of life’s energy
When we reap but we sow not
If you believe your eyes, you’re caught
In waking dreams in conscious streams

In solid waves that carve out caves
That rock the shore there’s always more
They strip at life down to its core
‘Til it crumbles back to sea to rise again
Indefinitely

Nothing We Say EP
by Courtney Hartman

I never get sick of listening. Courtney is an amazing writer. Her lyrics don't waste a single word. She could carry this whole EP with just the strength of her voice & guitar, but her band rocks too! Britt Arnesen
