lyrics

Pre-Dawn Rain

I had to let it die
So I could be born again
You built your post-and-beam
Over our foundation

You weren't here
To know this fight
To see and walk
Without your light
You hate my songs right back to life
But I don’t want them back

When our house falls down
You will press on through
Your volcanic soul
Will be a friend to you
When the world caves in
You will flicker on
Your torchlight leads the way
Carving chiseling on and on

You had to let it die
To quell the concrete voices
There are only specters here
Our battlefield is noiseless

Your heart redeemed
Your shield is wrought
Your world turns around
And I fall off
It’s yours to grow
To stitch and wash
To hang from moon to moon

When you're all alone
Sensations huge and strange
Pattering your roof
The sound of pre-dawn rain
When I'm all alone
Voices huge and strange
Pattering my roof
The sound of pre-dawn rain

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
