about

I have been blessed in my life to have numerous friends that I can always be honest with. But more than that, I can continually stretch the boundaries of vulnerability, finding power and community growing all the time.

lyrics

Me and my friends
look each other in the eye
me and my friends
we don't flinch at love

we say it 'cause it's true
and even if it's not we
laugh and laugh and laugh
we know what to do
and even when we don't
we know what's true

me and my friends
we are not concerned with shame
me and my friends
we don't have a thing to prove

we open every door
and those that we find locked
we knock and knock and knock
we patiently stand by
and when the whole dam breaks
we cry and cry and cry

me and my friends
we assume that play feeds life
me and my friends
we will play with you for free

we'll dance until we're bare
and then we'll dance some more
our feet will feel the earth but never touch the ground

me and my friends
we are not convinced of death
me and my friends
we intend to leave
no crumbs
