Stupid Girl 02:23
Stupid girl Leave him sleeping Don’t mistake a pulse For a heart that’s really beating Stupid girl Sneak away Your aloofness Is what makes him stay And we play Play this game Not a hide and seek More a tear each other to pieces And it’s fun Till the morning comes When this illusion Brings disillusion And we’re done Stupid girl Put down that phone Even on his couch He will never be home And stupid girl Don’t be weird You’re so much cuter Without those tears And we play Play this game Not a hide and seek More a tear each other to pieces And it’s fun Till the morning comes When this illusion Brings disillusion And we’re done Don’t make this a romantic comedy Fuck Lena Dunham and the Hollywood machine Some people are just assholes Some people are just assholes without a heart of gold And we play Play this game Not a hide and seek More a tear each other to pieces And it’s fun Till the morning comes When this illusion Brings disillusion And we’re done

Between 05:19
You always wondered when your love song would come You always wondered if you could be my muse I often wondered if I could love someone Who would love me better than you You could see me as a child and aged I couldn’t see you at all So I let our images fade Into the depths of our fall You could chalk it up to timing But that doesn’t seem fair Our love was never fleeting But got caught in the air In Between What I said and what I mean I always said you were the best man I knew I never told you things that weren’t true But I thought I could hide behind truth And that it would save you That it would absolve me That it could be enough You could chalk it up to timing But that doesn’t seem fair Our love was never fleeting But got caught in the air In Between What I said and what I mean I always said you were the best man I knew I never told you things that weren’t true But I thought I could hide behind truth And that it would save you That it would absolve me That it could be enough Which/This was/is Love (Love, love, love) Love that could be enough Which/This was/is Love (love, love, love) Love that is strong enough ohhh And if I Could give you Half of what you’ve given to me Then we We could be So happy Which/This was/is Love (Love, love, love) Love that could be enough Which/This was/is Love (love, love, love) Love that is strong enough ohhh

Worth 03:32
I don’t care man If I’m not your girlfriend All I need’s some action Respectfully And I don’t care if We don’t go out on date night But don’t call me on Friday Saying plans of have changed Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh) I know this hurt and It doesn’t make an equation Are you worth me? (You are not worth me) Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me) Your x is my z Or reciprocity (The worth in me, yeah) I don’t care if We don’t hold hands at midnight Even when it feels right Walking down the street And I don’t care when I don’t hear my phone ring Cuz communication Just ain’t your thing Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh) I know this hurt and It doesn’t make an equation Are you worth me? (You are not worth me) Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me) Your x is my z Or reciprocity (The worth in me, yeah) The worth in me I know I never said I love you We only spoke of sturdy fences But when we were both asleep Well the guards were sleeping too And you crawled into that hole Where foundation was loose. Cuz I know my worth and (Hey, uh huh uh huh) I know this hurt and It doesn’t make an equation Are you worth me? (You are not worth me) Have you shown me yet? (You haven’t shown me) Your x is my z Or reciprocity (The worth in me, yeah) You are not worth me yet (yeah) No

I don’t care If you think I’m strong I don’t care If you think I’m whole Cause every tea cup has a soft spot and when you touch it, it shatters apart I don’t care If you think I’m happy I don’t care If you think I tell you everything Cause every well has a bottom you can’t see, so just ask me And I don’t want to make you worry Cause that’s how you spend your time And that’s not what I’ve been put on this earth to do And I don’t want to sound ungrateful Or cause you any more pain Just remember my name I don’t care If you think I’m broken Because we both know That I’m not But even reliable machinery breaks down sometimes I don’t care If you didn’t love me Because by now I’ve made it so But every little girl gets tired of playing piano to make mom smile Play this one for me Just play this one for me I don’t care About this often But sometimes I really do So, when that happens can you hold me and say that I love you?

Untouchable 04:16
If you would have kissed me that night I would have looked something awful Everyone would have known when we walked in With your shit eating grin And you would have known that you had me And I would have known that I’m still bad I’m not worth the love that I’m given If you would have kissed me that night You would have seen fireworks But not cause of me. It’s all in your head From the acid you had taken But you would have thought that I’m the one And I would have got what I wanted I’m not worth the love that I’m given I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ greedy You give me what I need But nothing can please me I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ needy You give me what I want But nothing can feed me. If you would have kissed me that night I would have felt something Which is more than I can say most days It’s a nice change, though it’s gut wrenching You would have walked away pleased And I would have felt so guilty I’m not worth the love that I’m given. I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ greedy You give me what I need But nothing can please me I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ needy You give me what I want But nothing can feed me. I know you know I’m not in love And you know I know you lie We’re just too lost souls looking for some love Or just a warm body to hold I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ greedy You give me what I need But nothing can please me I’m a goddamn untouchable I’m too fuckin’ needy You give me what I want But nothing can feed me. Will you touch me Will you touch me Please.

For Lily 03:35
Oh Lily you never knew me But I knew I loved you from the start Your existence was the best that happened to us But you were birthed from a farce Your hair was curled by the ocean Your skin the color of sand And if you remember to love like your mother You would never be here again Oh lily oh lily oh lily Don’t leave me alone now You have grown now Though we never believed That Lily oh Lily oh Lily You’d live But we needed To believe it In order to give All our love Oh Lily I loved your daddy But we cruelly learned loves not enough To keep you happy, to keep you hungry And your life’s not my work of art But sleep now in our beating cradles And live eternal in our songs And if you remember to love like your father You will live in love forever long Oh lily oh lily oh lily Don’t leave me alone now You have grown now Though we never believed That Lily oh Lily oh Lily You’d live But we needed To believe it In order to give All our love So lily, you’ll never lose me Because you live in memory Of what could be when your beauty Finally is released from the sea

She’s such a pretty girl That’s what they always said She knows how to use it well She’s such a special girl That’s what they always said She knows how to use them well Her hair’s so perfectly undone She knows what she’s doing Knows what she’s doing She reads Sidhartha and practices Tantra Business of healing Business of healing She’s such a relaxed girl That’s what they always say At least if they are men She shows you what she wants to And never lets you in But she’ll get locked in your head She comes so perfectly undone But you’ll never see it You’ll never see it She cries and convulses in fits But you’ll never hear it You’ll never hear it Ooohh She’s in the business of healing Business of healing Ohhh but who’s healing whom? She needs you She gets you She uses Then forgets you She loves you Then leaves you Cause convenience Is what she’s into, ooooh She’s in the business of healing, oooooh She’s in the business of healing you. She’s such an easy girl That’s what they always say But don’t think you’re in control She knows when to act dumb And when to show you fun Then she’ll tell you about your soul She plays every rapture to capture She knows what she’s doing Knows what she’s doing Shows you yoga and when she’s bent over The business of healing Business of healing, oooooh But who’s healing her? She needs you She gets you She uses Then forgets you She loves you Then leaves you Cause convenience Is what she’s into, ooooh She’s in the business of healing, oooooh She’s in the business of healing you. Every justification falls on deaf ears and broken hearts You don’t need her anymore She cured you She told you Every justification falls on deaf ears and broken hearts You wonder why if you’re not sick You want your fix And need her. She needs you She gets you She uses Then forgets you She loves you Then leaves you Cause convenience Is what she’s into, ooooh She’s in the business of healing, oooooh She’s in the business of healing you.

Sky 03:45
My mother loved too deeply To ever love herself My father loved too deeply To ever love someone else And they passed their disease onto me So I can’t be by myself But I love too deeply to be with Someone else Cuz when this heart melted Well the deluge started And no one could keep it damned Yeah when this soul melded Well the angels felt it But we’re still gonna be damned I want to be I want to be the sky Ever expanding and floating by I want to engulf, consume Everyone I see That’s what it feels like To be loved by me My brother loved too deeply to keep his love in one place My sister loved too deeply To be concerned with saving face And they passed their advice onto me Don’t give your love away So I never give it freely But if you love me you don’t have to pay I want to be I want to be the sky Ever expanding and floating by I want to engulf, consume Everyone I see That’s what it feels like To be loved by me

I Did 03:41
You never felt it I felt it You never said it but I heard it You never meant it but I meant it You never felt it I did. I never knew but you knew it You couldn’t fake it You couldn’t fool it You tried to make it You won’t make it You never felt it I did You never felt it I did The laying was a lie And the holding was a phase The kissing only made it worse The lusting was a lot But accounted for the most ‘Cause you never felt it You never meant it I did. You never loved it but you liked it I never liked it but I let it You never tried it but you let me cry ‘Cause you never felt it but I did You never meant it but I did The laying was a lie And the holding was a phase The kissing only made it worse The lusting was a lot But accounted for the most ‘Cause you never felt it You never meant it I did. … I was too stubborn to admit it That you never felt it

Will Not Die 04:48
On the edge Of a cliff You can feel Every atom moving Then it stops You exhale And feel weightless But don’t remember jumping It’s true you’re not falling The Ground is coming up to meet you On a boat You can see The earth move Watching the horizon You are rocked You feel small Then you’re wet But don’t remember crashing It’s true you’re not drowning The sea is filling up within you We will not die We will not die We rest our eyes, and bones, and breath Ooo oo All alone You can feel You’re past lovers And the life you’re making Their lips graze Across your skin You feel helpless But don’t remember breaking It’s true you’re not crying The bath of Cleopatra’s in you We will not die We will not die We rest our eyes, and bones, and breath Ooo oo

These Roots 04:15
I am so in love I am so in love But the love that I feel's not for you You could give me diamonds You could give me pearls But the weight of this world’s not my glue Oh I am so in love I am so in love And the light in my eye is my proof But it comes from the sun And cannot be undone Cuz even in the darkness I shine true These roots, these roots, these roots Will bear fruit But don’t cut them out Cuz it's not just for you Oh I am so in love I am so in love I can spread it thick as honey And it tastes as sweet But isn’t bought or sold Though it’s as pure as gold It’s not money Oh I am so in love I am so in love It pours down my cheeks for all to se But these tears that I cry I’d never wipe aside Because the joy behind them sets me free These roots, these roots, these roots Will bear fruit But don’t cut them out Cuz it's not just for you These roots…

about

Business of Healing marks an almost twenty year journey of healing and self-discovery. The oldest song, I Did, was written when I was sixteen and the album was recorded when I was 29, with all the twists and meandering turns on the path to self-awareness and ultimately acceptance along the way. But wait there’s more! It took another six years to build up the confidence and perhaps “f*ck it- it’s a dumpster fire out there” attitude to actually release the album. Because ultimately, the process of healing is continuous. There is no there. It is never ending. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be a fun, raucous time along the way. Business of Healing is a celebration of love, life, and the deep interconnectedness of the human experience as much as it is a private exploration into the depths of fear and self-loathing and doubt.

about

MeMo New York, New York

MeMo was once just a girl and her piano, but through the grace of the amazing musicians around her a new creative baby was born. MeMo and Friends is now a band of 5-9 roving, feral misfits influenced by anything from Detroit's Motown to the music inside an Irish pub. Think Fiona Apple on a light cocktail of amphetamines and prozac.
