lyrics
Fingering the skin drawn taut from rib to rib
and fumbling to scroll your hands
they feel real
but how am I to know a language when the body’s
only forty pixels wide
are you in the image of you?
you call me as the light is lain upon the lip
of open-mouthed evening
there’s life in the ruins of luv
I know it’s hard to resurrect
the arrogance we shared before
but I’d trade mine to know
that I’m alright with you
the trash compacted in a laugh
dispersed upon a second glance
catch your image in the glass
your body no longer seems definite
on a low-lit Megabus
measuring my worth by the length of a name
and if a name is what it takes
well I need to hear yours
there is no reference to align
but all of the things that you’ve said
amalgamate meaning
and fuck with my head
the mauvest mouth I’ve ever seen
well you must cry online sometimes
our world it glistens by the fire
and our love is purest when burning it down
and as the coals
lose their glow
well it gets so cold
is there no liberating power
in all of the violence that love provides?
in a moment of calm
all pretense annulled
our arrogance disposed
all of the pain that you hold
comes flowing like water
over my hands
you’re free
watch me like a lucky cloud
like a lost and listless lover watches
unfamiliar ceilings turn into
the vertigos of seeping dawn
stabbing your arm with a fork
dotting your i’s with a knife
hold me like you hold your head
simple like it sounds
like you hold two hands
like tiny little shields
around a mangled flame
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
