snow slow falling and i am stalling
to broach what neither wants to say
warm and covered, we found each other
we'll starve if we don't leave the cave
but no one's first to pull away
you're right to question our vague direction
cause i was thinking the same thing
we sit there listening while flames are hissing
it's cold but time to put it out
can't wait til it's what i'm asked about
I'm home at the door, there's something baking
So I can ignore my heart that's breaking
Don't ask me for updates!
These holidays are warm and messy
Leave in a space for a sappy ending
but the story's not the same, writing it without your name
we're both brilliant and need fulfillment
a light shines covered for no eyes
to leave the swelter and risk no shelter
is tearing down a cabin in the ice
with hopes it's replaced with something nice
I'm home at the door, there's something baking
So I can ignore my heart that's breaking
Don't ask me for updates!
These holidays are warm and messy
Leave in a space for a sappy ending
but the story's not the same, writing it without your name

None of This

i don't mind if you don't stay the night
i'll come prepared, go wash your hair
and i will sleep, buried in the sheets
and breathe relief after you leave
cause I don't want none of this
i don't like that you want all my time
it was never yours to have
don't say you'll give it back
i don't want to turn to what i'm not
don't deny what you've done
when it's already begun
and i don't want none of this

So Far Above the Ground

i think i hear you
i hear the whisper what you're trying to do
or you appear to
be the conclusion that I set out to prove
i think i see you
i drew the line to where you want me to move
i think i need you
to drop the playbook, let me follow it through
cause i won't buy what you're selling
and i won't try what you're telling
and i've flown off but you're dwelling, you're dragging it out
you're dragging it out, so..
take a look at me now
with my head in the clouds
so far above the ground
i'm never coming back down!

Let It Slide

i'm gonna take my time
freeze instead of fly
yeah if that's alright
why won't you speak your mind
when you re-decide?
wouldn't that be nice?
can we let it slide
for a little time
can we let it slide
or do we have to try?
oooh, i don't want to let you go
i swear i wasn't trying
to cross any lines
but that don't mean that i was right
so i'm gonna sit some time
please don't pick a fight
but please don't lie and say it's fine,
just let it slide...
oooh, i don't want to let you go
oooh, it's better if we never know
oooh, i don't want to let you go

Nick Fed Ohio
Don't give up, you got the music in you.
I'm in love with love and the idea of something binding us together, you know that love is strong enough.
Nick Fed recommends:
Cincinnati march against police brutality 31 May 2020
by (various artists)
i experienced transcendence on the hill, thousands standing demanding change. a familiar war cry: "raaaaap music!". i'd been counting pandemic days til the next PoC show. just the right time.
go to album
a beat tape of beautifully wavey, push-pull pulsing instrumentals, perfect for lament, reflection, and moving to action. Say their names.

Nostalgie Prelude Deluxe Edition
by JayBee Lamahj
more PHONK for the soul, this time with a little more hi-hat. perfect driving music.
