    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

about

Malachi, Goodbye

This is a pretty straightforward kiss-off song. Rarely do we possess the ability to have such clarity and assuredness in a situation, let alone in a relationship, but the relief that can come when we do find and express that certainty is encompassing. Though we don’t always find the strength to access it, it is truly empowering to find that we have an overwhelming amount of bridle over our timeline and decisions.

lyrics

Malachi, Goodbye

You lit a match
Recited a line
from a poem of mine
Like that would land
A favorable kiss
But I let go your hand

Street lights spill in
the cab as we ride
through South Norwood and Woodside

Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, goodbye

You call to me
I can not be named
I’m never the same
From birth, you see
I rise and I fall
I hem and I haw

In life, in time
You best look alive
You wouldn’t know how
to abide with me

Malachi, goodbye
Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, goodbye

I doubt that our conversations stay with me too long
You can go back to your family
I can be alone

I wish you well
If I bear in mind
To wish anything
Your way, It’s late
I’ll miss my bus home
This may be the end but wait

Malachi, goodbye
Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, nothing happening
Nothing happening, goodbye
