lyrics

You spin too many tales to be true
Bloomed into a black widow through and through
Prey from behind volumes of Chaplik
One-sided-mirror me, borrow my chapstick
And then you trail me home, twenty-one paces behind
You look through my window when I turn out the light
You watch me sleep

Your boundary-crossing arachnid-thread head
Weaves me in an icy web
No Arecibo Observatory ever could have seen you
No pre-Raphaelite could have conceived of you
Sinking teeth in, you milk and spout
My mouth’s sewn shut, our lives inside-out
Though even a black widow’s time runs out

You spin too many tales to be true
Bloomed into a black widow through and through
A monastic researcher, plotting, cruel
Father Noel has lost his cool
In your cave, drive me bats
Tumbling, crumbling, fading fast
Cracking up all of your eggshells tonight

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
