lyrics

In our apartment
In rare moments
Clouds break
Light falls
And house plants
Make shapes
Across the floor
Or swooping crows
Shade us
But little else changes

We burn lavender candles
We peel fruit and eggs and drink coffee

All morning
We watched her feed
A palm print smudged between
Poised as if to grasp from air
At any time this little life
Suspended there
In rattling atoms
Beyond the glass

I could not wipe it away
Though I longed to see clearer
This moment
I feared she’d flee
And we would too that feeling
Of wings beating
So fast our eyes
Focused in could not see
Anything at all
Beyond her

All of our life this hope
To have one thing so much the rest just vanishes

That night I dreamt we drank sugar water
And kissed again for the first time

———————————————

The following day at the trailhead
An old woman pointed upward in a clearing
As we walked by at two butterflies

“They used to be everywhere,” she said
But you never see them anymore.”

We stopped to watch
You didn’t know them
But I did

Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right. brentos27

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra
