lyrics

We lie alongside dried-up branches
Still as the glistening rocks of Sligo Creek
The crows hold your hoven hand
At the riverbed, when we sleep
With piles of pills and vested authorities
Upholding the only things that matter
Well-worn hearts and broken bodies
Held together by the hands of cadavers

To have and to hold, but closed down like the corner store
Migraine meds, heated beds, packs of ice
You can’t always get what you want
But, once in a while, it would be nice

I was made too mulish not to move out of my own way
I’ve been sitting on this corner for a minute
Burning out while the whole house burns down
Snuffing out the heart and what’s in it

To have and to hold, but closed down like the corner store
Migraine meds, heated beds, packs of ice
You can’t always get what you want
But, once in a while, it would be nice

about

Teething Veils image

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
