lyrics

Velorio

It’s a long way to fall in the blink of an eye
At the drop of a hat what you had passes by
There are blind ballerinas, as starving as sure
Taken in by grave thespians, cared for and cured
Bound to a basement for nothing since birth
Sleeping on concrete for something of worth
These ancient armariums had ailments to quell
We’re damned and redeemed where the water meets the well
Rain patters rooftops while hailstones strike bells
Sounding our sourest anthem in chorus
Years disappear where words fall on deaf ears
We sleepwalk from pillar to post

Swarming in, seeping through, sweeping out, follow through
Burn this bridge, warm your hands, see it smolder, house it in you
Build it up, tear it down, set apart, living hell
Weary words etched in ink, sow and reap, swim and sink
Make it end, lest you roll on, careen to nowhere, grow old wishing
Let us fail, lest you stall, build your world to die dreaming

I’m soldering around the outside of your door
Sealing our unregistered stillborn brood inside these walls
A blindfold-and-cigarette ending and burial
Leaving seeds in barren woods
I will not keep this grave clean alone
Watching the weeds grow
They wilt when winter comes
Our souvenirs buried in snow
Antiplagued and uncontained, walk on and don’t turn back
In fourteen years I haven’t known such peace as this
Nor seen forever past our crumbled-sand skyscraping monument
Rising from this broken bed
I won’t disturb the dead
These breaths are clean
These breaths are mine to own

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
