about

|| the only track featuring my natural voice ||

lyrics

she still sleeps with the blanket Mother made her,
while naked she dreamt in the womb
"jesus is lord," it sings from the sheets
see it is empty, his tomb


have i missed the key? 
has all that i ’ve lived been poisoned by the
seeds of childhood ennui 

if i raised a man 
from the blood and the sand 
i would not give him back to the sea


deep in the brook of the thicketed forest
soft waters are calling her name
father and mother, they sit ‘cross the stream,
their toes in the fluvial flow
if only i knew what they know

here, a lacuna, a dark missing part
i’m not sure i remember the rest
only a mist that covers her eyes
and eases her filial shame
that frustrated, silky disdain


have we missed the key? 
has all that we’ve lived been poisoned by the
seeds of childhood ennui 

if i raised a man 
from the blood and the sand 
i would not give him back to the sea
