lyrics
Today I tried to find somewhere to hide, like the cats in the brush behind my house
They don’t belong to me or anyone, but still I find myself calling out their names
That’s something I can do to things that I claim
But they never asked for that
They don’t want to claim me back
Today I’d like to give you more, but it’s a chore
My legs don’t remember their own strength
I look down with a frown, lift up my gown and I’m just confused by what I see
Close my eyes and say “please work for me”
Instead I liquidize into a steady stream that flows into the vacant lot across the street
That’s something I can do to things that I claim
But they never asked for that
They don’t want to claim me back
They don’t belong to me or anyone, but still I find myself calling out their names
That’s something I can do to things that I claim
But they never asked for that
They don’t want to claim me back
Today I’d like to give you more, but it’s a chore
My legs don’t remember their own strength
I look down with a frown, lift up my gown and I’m just confused by what I see
Close my eyes and say “please work for me”
Instead I liquidize into a steady stream that flows into the vacant lot across the street
That’s something I can do to things that I claim
But they never asked for that
They don’t want to claim me back

A beauty in candor. People who probably never intended to make music, be in a band, or even be cool, are now the greatest asset that we have for good vibes, honesty, & understanding. Favorite Track: The Way that you Do

Dehiscence (2020)
by Wendy Eisenbergsupported by 10 fans who also own “Things I Claim”
Folk guitar might never get better, or more dissonant, than is achieved by Wendy on this album. Forged in an oven operated under shaky circumstances, this object popped out in the form of a silver pearl.
