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

Meet Me After Dark

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

Dia De Los Muertos

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

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...

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.
