about

In memory of Whitney Patterson--a brilliant and beautiful soul. <3

lyrics

Whitney…
Whitney said…

She said don’t jest in cruelty.
She said to love your body.

Whitney…
Whitney bled…

All around the courtyard,
and we should have seen the patterns.

When I think of who would hurt you,
because you’re unforgiven,
I think of violence.

For nothing is so damaged
that it can’t be repaired…

Whitney…
Whitney dug…

Holes all through the front lawn
and filled them with the sprinklers.

Whitney…
Whitney loved…

Dogs running ‘round in circles
and leaping in your lap.

When I think of who would hurt you,
because they can't forgive you,
I think of violence.

For nothing is so damaged
that it can’t be repaired,
so what are you so scared of, my love?

Now that’s a stupid question,
for everyone gets scared,
and really it’s the bravest who show it.

And underneath your trembling,
I’ve fallen for your candor.
I’ve fallen for…

Whitney…
Whitney…

Whitney says, “Come out...”
