lyrics

On the clearest night, under stars like milk
I saw you at the mill, moonlit, soft, and still
Halfway around the world, dark as death
My lungs, full of rocks, drew their breath through blunt instruments

Whatever happens after the last breath, and a stilled heart
Memory fades while passions grow, never to be torn apart
To become ill, awash in wintry light
Faded are the sleetless nights
You sweatered and scarved, holding your kite
Your pulse a stone splashed in the sea,
Its ripple disappeared

I’ll only see you when I stop looking for you
Won’t your unblinking eyes see me?
Ease me, with silkened hand, back to your sun-soaked, salving, eternal fountain
Where I may bathe in your voice
Your faithful servant, with rattled bones, dragging bags of stones along a raw and stormy road

about

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
