lyrics

The snow dusts the sidewalk, the cold glides on the wind
Your voice coats my eardrum, from heaven, descends
Bathed in blurred streetlight, your eyes pierce and shine
The pins and the needles simmer in time
There’s frost on the window, obscuring the pane
The sun warms the sleet where you stared at the rain
Dark beams part the ceiling, light beams part the sky
Your mouth and teeth muffled, echoing, alive

Staring at the rain, your eyes met the beams on the ceiling
You dropped all the weight you’d been bearing
Climbing cold walls, your pulse stalled at their crest


When you were a child, carried across snow
Your lungs drawing breath, your heart pounding on
You walked on the beach, you swung from the trees
You rode down the river, you smiled and showed teeth
You looked at the camera, you smiled so wide
You raised your right hand, you touched the mare’s side
The dreams that you carried, unseen and unreal
A nurse dressing wounds that time doesn’t heal

We’re looking out the same window, looking out for each other
The darkness unfurls, a reflective umbrella
A canopy of crimson, erasing the light

Our battles have all been waged, our bodies underground
Stood proud and paralyzed, without a sound
My footsteps fall heavy, my brain struck with clatter
Your wraith walked on in, the crows they did scatter
Your black hair did shimmer, you beamed across the room
Your unblinking eyes exhuming the gloom
You moved past the chair, you laid your heart on the stairs
You said “I’m glad that it’s here. I’m glad that we’re here.”

Teething Veils Washington, D.C.

"These songs—sepia-toned yet searching, eccentric yet melodically inclined—add up to something that feels like its own universe, sometimes wistful, sometimes the kind of menacing only achieved via a late-career Tom Waits death rattle." -Wash CP
