about

I never quite knew what to do with this song. I had written the first half about a year ago, but didn't know where to go with it until this past summer. It ended up quite different from what I thought it would become, but I think the final product was just what it was supposed to be; a slightly unstable and stark piece of music, an honest confession of this past year's lesson.

lyrics

run to the well
and pull up the water
and kiss the cheek of a girl
and hold her hand
and drink until you’re filled
so that you don’t feel
then steal away to the pool
and hold her heel
‘til you sleep at the bottom
afraid but never alone

then use the key
that came from your mirror wall
when you hated yourself
when you found yourself again
when you came back home (do you remember?)
then steal away your heart
from your Lover
‘cause you never see Him anymore
‘cause you never look anymore

my heart starves
faster than my belly

“hello there, what can I get for you?”
“i’ll have a loaf of bread and a glass of water, please.”
“sure thing, let me go grab them for you.”
“thanks. how much will that be?”
“that’ll be your life, please.”
“worth every moment.”

things like me break
we’re not so pretty in the morning
