lyrics

To incubate life
Of a different kind
And run up a tab
Of things I didn’t try....
Daughter do you need to exist?
Wish I had a mother to advise me on this.

Not enough time
To give you a life like mine.
Still I face the judgment
At the end of the line.

PRE-CHORUS
How many generations died
Before I could make this silly choice of mine?

CHORUS
I’ll just lay around
And wear my crown
Of cedar boughs
And all of the songs I gestated
No doubts
Will be found
Among the thousand ways
That my blood is creative.

Not enough time
To be tired
The branches I’ve picked
Could expire.

What’s the difference between a story and a child?
One you can lose and the other’s too wild
To tell us the secrets on how to be

When we leave the stasis
Of the Holocene.

VERSE 2
We have a home
And an extra room
And I’ve made a garden
With food enough for two.

It’s hard to justify
The duplication of my
genes
When death came so early
To the predecessors of me.

PRE-CHORUS
And I
Can’t promise that I’ll be the woman
You need
And I
Don’t suspect we’ll have the planet
You need
To survive

CHORUS
I’ll just lay around
And wear my crown
Of cedar boughs
And all of the songs I gestated
No doubts
Will be found
Among the thousand ways
That my blood is creative.

Not enough time
To be tired
The branches I’ve picked
Could expire.

What’s the difference between a story and a child?
One you can lose and the other’s too wild
To tell us the secrets on how to be

When we leave the stasis
Of the Holocene.

I’ll just sit around
And wear my crown
Of cedar boughs

Kaley Lane Eaton Seattle, Washington

Avante-garde classical composer? Freak-folk singer-songwriter? Postmodern jazz interloper?
For artists like Kaley Lane Eaton who paint outside the lines, there are seemingly endless boxes to check, but few name-brand comparisons. Joni Mitchell, Björk, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson. Eaton’s “disconcertingly lovely” (Seattle Weekly) compositions are “unconfined by genres” (V13 Media). ... more
