some love from the pavement
the traffic, the people who walk by
armed with hands to hold
let's put this back outside for everyone's kids to remember
pay on the way out
hey
here's some extra
thought i'd tell you, it's free on some days
and today is your lucky day
there's still some room in the backseat
don't sweat it, i don't mind
now we're even
now we're even brighter than we'd be in separate cars
separate cars
there's no need to rush now
what you've got here is a captive audience i'd say
your money's no good
there's still some room in the backseat
don't sweat it, i don't mind
now we're even
now we're even brighter than we'd be in separate cars
separate cars

Preemptive Strike

just listen
stack 'em up, stack 'em up
so we can't hold this against you
along with everything you said that you'd never do
just seconds from the first of many hellos
we'll watch you read by only the shade of the trees
one street away
we've yet to cross our paths
one vote to stay clear of the press
who's going to take the sleeping for a walk
keep saving face for all the rainy days
for all, for all the rainy days
blow your air out
how familiar, how familiar this feels
you've shot up, shot up so fast
and we can expect this to blow over
us to get older
in no time at all
no time at all
one street away
we've yet to cross our paths
one vote to stay clear of the press
who's going to take the sleeping for a walk
keep saving face for all the rainy days
for all, for all the rainy days

Other People's Houses

no wheels left
it's looking permanent, permanent now
high bridges and low standards
moving fast as modern legs allow
stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i can fight this
lights for some to see
spending days around one time around
one short trip back in time
in time to
stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i can fight this
feels like rain and some hard truth
so, don't-don't-don't kill the one
holding the envelope in her steady hands
stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i will fight this

her shoulders are the smoothest part of her demeanor
recorded as a friend, as an ally
history will reflect
part of the package is a steady dose of modesty and charming stories
she shakes everyone's hand at least one time
a clumsy way to make up for lost time
hold still for just a minute longer, minute longer
"my fault", she said
just say the word and she'll make you up
just wave your hand she'll help you change
add whatever you need
give you what you're missing
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
executed with such great manners and made to feel like new
under harsh review, she's had a while to think it through
this weighs a lot, so please keep in mind
she's paved the way back
you've got a lot to say and to look at
still favored in the everyday dealings of words and their meanings
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
who said it, we can't hear you in the back
executed with such great manners and made to feel like new
under harsh review- she's had a while to think it through
executed with such great manners and made to feel like new
under harsh review- she's had a while to think it through

For Your Peace

let's raise our hats
out of respect for the lost times we all mourn
these moods can be brief- can't be certain
you stop over unannounced, unannounced
and several years of untold stories come right out
it's just like it was
someday i'll make you brave
somewhere along the line this will serve you well
serve you right
stay close, the ceiling is falling from all of this
water that's been hiding from the ground
it's not too late
for your peace
for your peace

certain from the start
that's the secret
everyone knows this- knows that
not a loss to be had
in here it's only gold
rarely denied- it's too dark, too dark to tell
and we all can find a seat, but only just
because she makes us, makes us want to stay
so much for clearing our heads
last call for a change, change of venue
new eyes from floor to ceiling
so much for clearing our heads
last call for a change, change of venue
new eyes from floor to ceiling
home's calling her back to me this time
out with it quick
despite what you may have heard
she can sing so, so low
and we all can find a seat, but only just
because she makes us, makes us want to stay
so much for clearing our heads
last call for a change, change of venue
new eyes from floor to ceiling
so much for clearing our heads
last call for a change, change, change of venue
new eyes from floor to ceiling

Things I'd Say to You

you look well, considering
not much of a compliment
i'm just a little rusty
send me up something nice
something that might make me want to get up early
oh the things i'd say to you
oh the things i'd say to you
long good-byes are rarely in short supply
hold your head up
hold your hopes up
hold your chin up so there's room to grow
oh the things i'd say to you
oh the things i'd say to you
warm hands on my cold hands
hanging your head from your shoulder bones
i'll match your height on tipped toes
decent heart- call it time to stop
i'm scarcely moving
you're picking up the slack
one favor left to call in for good
call in for good
oh the things i'd say to you
oh the things i'd say to you
warm hands on my cold hands
hanging your head from your shoulder bones
i'll match your height on tipped toes
decent heart- call it time to stop
decent heart- call it time to stop
oh the things i'd say to you
oh the things i'd say to you

new threads bright with your luck
bet it feels good
bet it feels good
stick to your side
better not look
better not look
some time from now
the chance will show itself
to say what you want- so say what you will
it won't help
quiet, yet ever-present is the voice that asks after
trust that this meeting had meeting
here's to you- i'm as sharp as they come
cheers to you- i'm as sharp as they come
clearly you've found
more than one deserving your best
observing your worst
build your life on fiction
written for those with a taste for the finer things
some time from now
the chance will show itself
to say what you want- so say what you will
you can't help
quiet, yet ever-present is the voice that asks after
trust that this meeting has meaning
quiet- yet ever-present is the voice that asks after
trust that this meeting had meaning
here's to you- i'm as sharp as they come
cheers to you- i'm as sharp as they come

Rachel Mousie Cincinnati, Ohio
I like to sing and write songs. I play the keys and use a looping station to create live harmonies and hand percussion
rhythms. Sometimes when I'm practicing my cat sits on my lap and gives me feedback in the form of cat sounds. Once I find a way to incorporate that I'll have it all figured out.
I aim to make you feel something, whatever that may be. I hope I am successful :)
