about

This is a meditation on all of the rolls we play for each other - friends, partners, lovers, family, teachers… and beyond that to rolls given us by history and cultural context. It is also an indulgence in my love of word play and verbal pivots.

lyrics

STORM CHASER

Whose burden are you?
Whose burden, whose dream?
Whose sanctuary,
whose sacred ground, whose secret garden?
Whose habitat, whose habit?
Whose habit are you?
Whose habit am I?

If I’m the storm, you’re the one who chases me down.

Whose safe am I?
Whose safety, whose haven are you?
Whose heaven on earth?
Whose earthly home?
Whose wordless tome?
Whose tomorrow are you?

If you’re the doll, I’m the girl who moves you,
who moves you room to room.

Whose minder, whose tender?
Whose tagalong, whose triple threat?
Whose scapegoat, whose great escape are you?

And if you’re the yeti, I’m the one who proves you’re alive.
Are you alive somewhere in there?

Whose indulgence?
Whose convulsions?
Whose bell boy are you?
Whose hell toy am I?

Who’s dreaming me?
Who’s dreaming you?

If I’m the hurricane, you’re the one who braves the wind
to find the stillness within.

Whose veil, whose vision, whose fix?
Whose distraction am I?
Whose destruction?
Whose sanctuary, whose sacred ground?
Whose habitat?
Whose habit am I?
