lyrics
Into the eye of a storm I stare unafraid
To traverse the border of your palisade
By my hand am I befriended or betrayed?
Do I hold my knife by the handle or the blade?
It's bewildering to say the very least
How quickly a human can become a beast
Plant a seed and pray crops grow from west to east
Will our love bring us a famine or a feast?
When I can find no defense against the density of shame
I forget that though you are not at fault I am not to blame
My own eyes deceive me and I lose my grip on everything
When I claim the title of the coward you become the king
When we battle I let you win every time
Both of us well aware of the other's crime
When will the light of the sun expose the bruise
And allow me to resurface your ruse?
Though off-putting it is really no surprise
To discover pent-up panic in your eyes
It is no coincidence that you abuse
The one person you’re most terrified to lose
Bow in hand I tremble and lose sight of what I wish to claim
I try to steady my arrow, still uncertain of my aim
The target in sight, I wonder if it is a fruitless game
Is it futile to nurse a fire with a dulling flame?
When you set the trap
What did you intend?
I try without a map to somehow comprehend
The bait that reeled me in
The cage in which I'm caught
I hunt alone for what we once collectively besought
My lips part but not a single word is spoken
As I tilt my head to it in one swift motion
I listen but the silence is never broken
I hold the shell but I cannot hear the ocean
Folk guitar might never get better, or more dissonant, than is achieved by Wendy on this album. Forged in an oven operated under shaky circumstances, this object popped out in the form of a silver pearl. deadite_237
The Alabama duo's fifth album exults in dusty Americana, showcasing rich vocal harmonies alongside blissful folk instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Impossible to choose a favourite song, tho this one resonates with the alien in me exploring earth/deciding what to bring back. This album is important beyond any words of mine. Your life is missing if you haven’t. Laura Fisher
