1.	We Share Blood 03:46 video	lyrics
I sit and listen to a hand-held radio in the closet of my bedroom I think i’m going for a summertime sleepwalk I think you might be coming over soon I know the universe is made of leather I know there’s grass under your big black boots I think i’m just another sycamore sweetheart I think I’m losing my youth I know there’s blood inside your cold white body I know there’s powder on both of our moons the sound of music is a mercy killer the sound of everything’s a needle in my nerve with your tongue over a rum sipper I became white owl I became the riverbed when i was looking for the coldest of my friends I hope to see you from my window before the prairie turns to mud we share blood I never know just when you’re gonna come find me I never know what form the cool will take I know you’re kinda like a Nosferatu I know your nature is to complicate I know I’ll never have your cold white body I know you live inside the wind and fog I lay awake with amnesia and a puncture I know your kinda like a death rocking meadow witch following a jealous god I trace away the negative that forms your silhouette and the dotted yellow of your cigarette we put our mouths into the water, put our mouths up to our skin you sound the cricket, and the river’s violin I know the body’s only twenty, but you have a thousand years you only found me when I called out to the deer I know that you could hear me screaming when I was drowning in the flood we share blood Love is invisible, love is dead Love is indifferent, love is dread Love on a needle, love on a thread Love lies on under dry flower beds Copyright - Joseph Gárate, 2020
2.	I Found a Baby in the Woods 04:37	lyrics	buy track
I found a baby in the woods he had a mark upon his belly I wondered what I had to do I wondered how I got so lucky I found a baby with the blood so sweet Only terror coursing through the tender meat but when I took him in my arms, I could see He’d been lying there crying for a week because nobody had stopped to help him go to sleep or give him peace I found a baby, only god knows why I should drown him in the water to keep him from prying eyes when every sorcerer is clamoring for a child so fine why can’t I pretend he’s mine? It seems our lives should be combined. now the only thing that brings me joy Is the feeling that I get I when I’m destroyed In the glimmer of my metal lives a boy I take out every bit of evil with the sharpest of my needles I took my baby to the woods I left a mark upon his belly I lay him down beside the brook I hope somebody finds my baby

about

These two songs were released separately and are fine as stand-alone songs. However they work in my mind as a couple and feel related to me. They were produced and recorded in similar ways and both come from demos made in New York hotel lobbies and various other unusual places. There are bits of natural and supernatural imagery that I haven't really found in any other songs of mine.
