(I'm with my friend) (She has the forlorn look of an old dog in her eyes) (And I just want to say goodbye to her) With only minutes to go You met me in a dream The moon and stars up above reflected in the stream You said if I were older We'd have more time But you'd build another border and I'd climb Cause I still love you Still love you Still love you Still love you And I still Love You I said the worlds grown colder And I asked you why So you drew a home around us and stepped outside Do I still love you Still love you Still love you Still love you And I still Love You

Whenever you call me Or speak my name softly I know who I am and I know what I do And just like a mirror With you I see clearer Reflections are only a good point of view I'm terrifbly anxious Despite my outrageous Behavior I need you your my favorite food And we're all meant to die here So don't you dare cry dear Those watery eyes wont do us any good Oh your face in the morning Is all that I'm longing to see And at night when I close them My eyes are beholden to thee But now there's a distance And I try to resist it But my heart wouldnt care if you lived on the moon I can't shake your vision You keep me in prison And I just keep wishing that you'd come home soon

I Remain 04:09
Maybe I'm too much like my father A stubborn man trying to change his ways Twice divorced a living martyr But celebrates his wedding days Wears his gloves in the kitchen A victim of sensitive skin He says it skips a generation From his grandpa to him What's comes what stays What's lost what remains Will you call out my name What's lost what stays And I'll remain Do I love just like my mother A wounded heart trying to change her ways To find ourselves in circumstances where We can play the renegade And oh brother do you hear me Though my voice comes from far away And oh sister though you miss me I'll kiss you on your wedding day What's lost what stays What comes what may Will you call out my name What comes what stays And I'll remain

Dancer 04:01
You were a dancer from the Philippines I built the stage you danced upon I shined a light for your material grace I wish I wrote your favorite song Oh and I hardly know your name And oh I know I play my childish games Ya I know, I know I already know The way you danced in the movies I already know The way you drank coffee I already know The way you moved in spotlight I already know I already know The second time you came around I didn't want to see your face You kept reminding me of what I lost My tender kiss my warm embrace Oh and I hardly know your name And oh I know I play my childish games Ya I know, I know I already know The way you danced in the movies I already know The way you moved in spotlight I already know The way you drank coffee I already know I already know Now your gone but still your memory Pulls a longing in my brain Now and then I hear your melody It plays in rhythm with the rain

about

Mothers Fathers Sisters Brothers is a collaborative project created by Oakland based musician, Benji Marx

The music of Mothers Fathers Sisters Brothers focuses on the cycles of gain and loss, happiness and sadness that flow through our lives. The songs were written after the loss of a relationship and a reevaluation of what it means to lead a fulfilling life. I realized that we all have a circle of responsibility and we choose how far we want to extend it. How far can we push this boundary? Can we include each other? This project is a totem to remind me and hopefully others of the circles we draw, and to maintain the mindset that we are all mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
