lyrics

There were times I spent with you
Times that fell away too soon
Lain against the forest floor with leaves all in our hair

But then when the tides came in
And when they’d pull me out again
And leave me lost in the leaves and fighting, fighting to be fair

But as our swaddled daughter knows
In stillness we find repose
For the earth’s embrace is waiting like a bed of fallen leaves

And though this house still looks the same
Everything has changed
But I still smell your cigarette smoke hanging in the eaves

~

Things I felt I had to say
Seeking shelter in the waves
And flinching as they crashed against you, flooding through our home

There were times I hated you
Times I let you know it too
And times I heard them breaking and taking everything for foam

~

But of all you left behind
Ten years on and still I find
When she says my name I hear your voice instead of hers

And so you put her in my care
But when I hold her in the air
With the trees above her frame I see our bodies in the dirt

Cedar Bozeman, montana

These sounds live in a place between melody and drone, soundscape and song; between field recordings of wind, and rivers of distortion and noise. Richly textured, emotive, horrific, and deeply personal.
