lyrics

Empty your baggage out onto the bed
I came to your island, it’s where I was webbed
Your voice hanging grandly where your body lay still
Your fingernail broken at the white window sill
Layers of lairs removed with your tweezers
For piles of papers that block out your light
Glooming, the gloaming is casting our shadows
Between dialysis in the daytime and nicotine at night

Tossing my paperweights aside in the sun
It’s too hard to talk while you’re biting my tongue
Turning the corner but still out of tune
You don’t need to worry, I’ll be out of here soon
Plying and plodding the piano too hard
It’s how I was dragged up in the place where I was scarred
I will go underground, naturally plotting
Losing the plot where daisies grow sodding

Icing the bite marks on your couch where I sat
Pulling my hair out, like I need help with that
It’s a wonder how you find anything on these shelves
You know that these dishes don’t wash themselves
Cold institutions of grey-building days
Painting by numbers, latching their gates
The doorway stands open, a cat’s in the hallway
The avenue’s bustling where you leave me lonely

I really have tried but I don’t understand
Your scouring-pad fingers while you’re holding my hand
Not wanting for a moment to go with the flow
But gone with the flood, to each one their own
Don’t sell your organs, I won’t pray for forgiveness
There is no first aid where you’re smothered in blankets
The stairs make me dizzy when I go out for food
I don’t know where I’m going or what I meant to you

“Come on and follow me out onto the ledge
You won’t slip or fall as long as you’re webbed”
Be careful of theater people and the hats that they wear
What you think you’re holding is not really there
As the last silo standing when the warships left town
Millstones of sweetness were weighing us down
You’re housing my body but there’s no place like home
At the edge of the world we ran out of room

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
