lyrics

Out of Caverns Into Snow

I stepped out of your caverns into snow
I saw your traces everywhere I'd go
I felt your glance above me in the sky
Pressed onto my chest where I did lie
Everything you touched is hollowed out
Every word you breathed is in my mouth

You laid me down and forged around my heart
I made my burning coffee in the dark
But this is not the way the song will come
Singing through tuberculosis lungs

When I reach, and you reach, and we don't meet, there's a trauma
The wind is knocked out of me
When you walk through your door and the air hangs stale upon you
Your heart is hollowed out beside the sea

You paused to breathe and stunned me through your wounds
Your Polaroids compose a gentle tune
I thought I saw your shadow on the stairs
Your voice piercing through winds from everywhere
Your hair clip and your empty cans are here
But your breath does not pervade this heavy air
This must be the way the heart turns gray
Steady as you came, you went away

On the beach, in the grass, taking Morse code from the moonlight
I might find you right where you might find me
When you walk through the yard and you're scratched in between the tall weeds
The sand inside your shoes will keep you clean

Every shot at peace just disappears
Let me bend your body and your ear
Every shining ship moored to the shore
Tied up to their tills forevermore
We built whole worlds on rooftops till the dawn
Nothing that you care for stays for long
There you are in everything I see
Won't you just appear in front of me?

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
