To Be Gentle (feat. Yah Yah El) Video (MV)

Like a Rothko I could fall right in
Through slabs of ice and mossy rock
Calling from within
There inside acrylics
I'm a river of my sins
Come reach in and pull me out
And show me how I begin
I don't even know what I am
All I know is it feels good
It feels good to be gentle
I'll be the bird leaning on the guitar
Just to feel the vibration
I'll be the words that you call in the dark
Just to show me there's no monster waiting
I'll be the raindrops racing down the car window
In the eyes of a child
I'll be the hayloft that you climb into
When the night's getting wild
I don't even know what I am
All I know is it feels good
It feels good to be gentle
I'll be the princess who went out to Tasinteo
Shone bright
She caught the sun
I'll be the kisses moving down a body
Hey don't worry bout the time
You'll know when I'm done
I'll be the song that you hear in your mind
While you watch your love sleeping and whisper goodnight
I'll be the wrongs that one day will go right
Till then you just keep dreaming and living and dying
I don't even know what I am
All I know is it feels good
It feels good
To be gentle
Hiding my head in the sand
All I know
Is it feels good
It feels good
To be gentle
Chip falls
From my shoulder
Cicadas burst from the ground
Knew this song as a boy
God there's just so much sound
Crack my heart wide open
Crack my heart
Those tears
Come quick
Summer rain
So slick
Honey-dipped
Putty in my grip
Do it for my constellation
My edification
Balm on my mama's wounds
Cycle-breaking
Little Theo, me, and David
Theodoro
Te adoro
Te adoro
