lyrics
We were off with the gun,
pounding hearts, sweaty palms
by the first turn it was light and dust
covering the past with a subtle rust
You have a voice I could crawl inside
filled with warmth, ride the tides
soaking sun via telephone
hold on tight as the waves throw
with the distance you connect the dots
paint a picture with skeleton bones
pedestal on shakey ground
slightest breeze it comes crashing down .
I'm a sucker for layered shirts
sci fi movies and any dessert
you're the only one to crack my shell
but tape it up and never tell
its easy to forget the nature of things
that we're both pimples, scars and pains
losing keys, forgetting dates
forget alarm, sleep in late.
with the distance you connect the dots
paint a picture with skeleton bones
pedestal on shakey ground
slightest breeze it comes crashing down .
pounding hearts, sweaty palms
by the first turn it was light and dust
covering the past with a subtle rust
You have a voice I could crawl inside
filled with warmth, ride the tides
soaking sun via telephone
hold on tight as the waves throw
with the distance you connect the dots
paint a picture with skeleton bones
pedestal on shakey ground
slightest breeze it comes crashing down .
I'm a sucker for layered shirts
sci fi movies and any dessert
you're the only one to crack my shell
but tape it up and never tell
its easy to forget the nature of things
that we're both pimples, scars and pains
losing keys, forgetting dates
forget alarm, sleep in late.
with the distance you connect the dots
paint a picture with skeleton bones
pedestal on shakey ground
slightest breeze it comes crashing down .

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
