Oh Grace, you're a dear, and you are sufficient yeah In this hotter than a sauna desert, oh my eyes on you honey And milky white skin won’t save my soul Honey and milky white skin it won’t save my soul I have got breasts enough on my own I have got breasts enough on my own, I have two haven’t I? And the leaf it is stuck on the windshield but I am not… I have breast enough on my own… Yeah the leaf it is stuck on the windshield but I am not… I have breast enough on my own, I have two haven’t I?

Ocicat 01:07
How I long to be a Cornish Rex, but in truth I am a Persian Smoke I wish I was a Bengal, but really I am a Scottish Fold Ocicat… Ocicat, Tabby Cat, The La Perm, Tiger!

Come over any other day and I will set you up with a salad But I’m too beat to open the can of beets that you like to eat with spinach and onion Don’t feel bad I’m not calling back anyone I’m feeling too lonely, and if I’m not alone How can I justify feeling lonely? And what will I call this feeling? A little sleep, a little slumber A little folding of the hands to rest and I am being pulled under Death has crept upon me like a bandit And scarcity like an armed man, oh man Come over any other day and we’ll talk al about your boyfriend And how they’ll all leave you in the end all you can depend on is your friends 9 times out of 10 women outlive men anyways And your feeling so lonely, cause you’re never alone You’re as stuck as I am lazy, we share a quicksand throne A little sleep, a little slumber You unfold your hands from rest only to dress yourself in featherbed armor Your breastplate is misgiving and your shield is surrender Your sword is too forgiving to combat the armed man, your man And suddenly from above, there’s a woman descending And her face is shining, and her arms are long and right And into our oceans of inaction she lowers a string of tugboats They are made of wisdom, they are give us life boats And the oceans we’re in are just mind moats And the armed men dragons that only exist if we feed them And text me again, text me again Next time you’re going out send me a text And I’ll probably be ready to go out by then And I promise to be a more consistent friend If you promise to leave him If he ever hits you again

Appear 01:16
Appear a peer up hear upwards of twenty compliments a night crawl hers and history of success when couples dress as twinset jet jonesing for grace that no one wants to no string can knot tie dying to red the apples of the eyes that flash, that blog, slipcover for what’s underdress for successive regrets, get more give less. Confession doesn’t mean that I’m not mean, that I’m not vain.

If you crash my bike on your way over, it won’t be featured in the cinemas It’s not that important to us You can scratch and scratch all day But the itchiness won’t go away It’s here to play I have got your goat I keep it in this coat for you So warm, and young, and you You know just what to do In the lightning afternoon And the dunes and honey swim us

Yes, Mike? 00:13
Teacher: Who hear knows what it means to bail? What it means to bail on someone? Student: It’s means um, that someone tells you they’re coming and they don’t show up.

There’s no easy way to get through the day When you’re out there on your own And there’s no one to come home to There’s no easy way to get through the day When you’re sick of all the songs that they’re playing in the moonlight You’re just like your friends… There’s no easy way to watch a true love fade Its not always blunt like that, sometimes low mist will surround you There’s no easy way to watch a true love fade If you’re honest as a lark, still the darkness can walk you home You’re just like your friends… There’s no easy way Where have your magic tricks got you now? There’s no easy way The enchantment’s too deep, you’re always asleep There’s no easy to watch a man decay Watch a rosy cheek pale Watch the soil pull you under There’s no easy way to be well fed and safe Lot’s of time to be creative when true love is absent You’re just like your friends…

No one can leave love like I can The wedges that I drive are velvet I still want to be in a band with you, baby But in a new way, old love No one can switch gears like I can From lover to brother fantastic But we can share a bed if the lightening scares us Smooth as silk baby Into this new way, old love From the first day, so rushed And to all the Maureens and the Saras I am no longer embarrassed It is a new kind of love that’s going on And I’m getting into it I’m getting into it I will sleep where I am sleepy wherever I’m sleepy I wont let names keep me from bouncing my brains I wont let chains choke out the truest refrains Come now let’s change, let’s realize what’s realest No one can leave love like I can… (I can still taste your sweat after so long) No one can leave love

It is so important to feel cared about. If you’re sick and someone acts like they care about you, it makes you feel less sick definitely. I know this is true because one time, somebody gave me vitamins, and later I looked at the bottle of vitamins and they were way past the expiration date. Nevertheless they were effective vitamins because it is so awesome when someone acts like they care about you. It feels like you’re in bed with your mom and the sheets are super clean and she pours you a glass of wine and puts on a movie and you drink the wine and fall asleep watching the movie together. And in the morning, even though she has to get up, you get to sleep in as late as you want and then when you rise there’s string cheese in the fridge! And that’s why I want to thank Warren Gonzales, managing director of Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, the place I’m a receptionist at, because by God’s dear grace he gave me Echinacea and Emergen-C and they made me feel way better and able to get through my day.

Goals 04:41
Come again, I can’t believe the things that you are saying Come again, with me tonight touching you feels like praying Here comes the part where you say I deserve better I’ve got so much going for me in my life Jesus Christ I’ve been writing to-do lists There’s so much to do but its not my day planner That’s gonna get me outta this dump I need leather that breathes I phone my sister who answered her cell in a tanning bed I told her what happened We went out for sushi that night She said that it would be all right I’ve got so much going for me in my life I’ve got goals I’ve got projects upon projects I’ve been making connections Rungs on my ladder to heaven I’ve been making lots of pictures A recent one was of a bunch of sperm Swimming up to an egg with two eyes and a frown My next-door neighbor kinda liked it He said he’d never seen me depict my pain plainly And I should keep painting for sure But not to quit my day job I’ve got goals I’ve got projects upon projects I’ve been making connections Rungs on my ladder to heaven I’ve got goals I’ve got projects upon projects I’ve been making connections Rungs on my ladder to heaven It’s not like I can still taste the sweat on your neck Or feel the course of your hands Or remember the melodies you used to make up on the bass guitar It all seems so far away when we used to harmonize together in the car I have I have so much God has given me so much

Like a gold ring in a pigs snout is a beautiful woman Like a gold ring in a pigs snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion I resolve today to be marked by reason To make mature decisions I’ve been wooed by wisdom Before there were oceans Her breasts shone outside of time I’ve found I can’t drink from mine Although I have two, haven’t I? Before there were oceans, wisdom deep Before there were oceans, wisdom

about

Natalie Elizabeth Weiss takes us back to 2005 with Grace You’re a Dear, her only album under the moniker Unicornicopia. In honor of its 15-year anniversary, Grace will receive its first digital release this summer. Produced by synthesizer wizard Joe McGinty, Grace is a snapshot of Weiss in her early 20s: a bi-sexual performance artist juggling possibility, polyamory and protestant guilt. The record is at turns blissfully experimental and borderline musical theater, with swells of white noise and distortion contrasting with Weiss’ earnest lyrics and simple delivery. Coming out on McGinty’s Diving Horse Records, Grace You’re a Dear is now available on all digital platforms.
