Meaningful 03:30
This breath is a means to an end Just the stroke of a pen In a novel not worth writing unless there's a twist at the end It's all just an attempt To hold the attention of others If only for a little while Because all we want is love But we can't have love until we give love And love is everything we've ever had It's hard to explain But once you get it It's like the twist at the end

Night breaks day Light fades away I lean in close because I want to say It's not too late But it is The creatures begin to stir Showing off their glowing eyes And those expensive furs I take you by the hand As we try to leave them all behind We can leave them all behind If we could just make it around the bend You look back and I can hear you scream I say "It's okay, the night just changes things, and me" Ignore the glowing eyes Let's just make it around the bend And hope when day breaks it'll all be the same again I hope I'll be the same again There's no knowing what's to come As we run from each other And we run from ourselves The truth is we're all monsters And no one can tell... Whats around the bend

These days creep on ’till were drinkin’ again As the the night settles in we will be drinkin’ with friends ‘Till the sun comes up we will be happy again When we dance in the dust of the dead We will dance in the dust of the dead We are all just living ’till it happens again These old snakes slither as it happens again Our dreams all wither we will be happy again When we dance in the dust of the dead We will dance in the dust of the dead We wake up knowing Everything ends We bury the bodies that have paid for their sins Sure we’re gonna miss ‘em we will be happy again When we dance in the dust of the dead We will dance in the dust of the dead

Steps 05:26
We wake up We go out We put up We break down Spread so thin This veneer that coats our skin Prevents your touch Yet I feel so much I feel so... Underwater but breathing It's hard just being here We are done with it all We are still so involved We are still so... Caught up in this shit We are still a part of this You've done this to me I've done this to you Can't we just let this go We need to let it all go There is nothing left Only Aching regret This hurt in my chest Oh, what could have been...

about

Minor Birds Oakland, California

A classically trained pianist and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, C.Wilde spins poetic tales, with a voice oscillating between a silky coo and a guttural howl.
At heart, her musical gems take form as emotionally-receptive storytelling.
Intrinsically poetic, Wilde’s music is about the journey, rather than a set destination.
