lyrics
Birds, do you hear birds? birthing the
morning the dawning Messiah
but there’s nothing faithful to my knees on the concrete
the bodies are there, all in a row, under black plastic
you thought they looked heavy like the fields in a Rothko
but I’d lost my taste for all that abstraction
a morning rain is last
the last of these baptismal symbolisms
a rain to snuff the flame
love with fail
every time
but every time it does
the world will offer a closeness
no love was ever lost
just painfully rearranged
step to the veil, pull it aside, there’s nothing behind it
oh would you touch me? I just feel so unlovely
all that you are and all that I want are calmly converging
no I wasn’t kidding when I said you could kill me
all this way just to find an instance of you
Rothko himself, found dead in his home,
his blood ripe with benzos
I mistake evil for some aching perfection
we all have the right to end our own lives
call your mom, call her out, tell her off
she was wrong bout the world
she was wrong bout you, girl
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Such a special album I struggle to think of what to say about it. At times I'm afraid or put off even listening to it and sometimes its the most comforting thing in the world. I got this from a vinyl code and I only listened to that physical copy of it the morning after the night my dog died. The first time I ever lost someone that meant the world to me and it was the first time I didn't cry to it. This album is beautiful and if youre reading this, you are loved memon_dayz
