lyrics

It was forty years younger you were saved for your skin
But if you met that beast tomorrow, would he spare you again?
As the ripples mark the surface, do the depths stay clear?
Or does scar remember what you would not hear?

How many more encounters till your dreaming gave out?
With the black claws tracing along your snow-white throat?
As your face has warped, has your heart grown pure?
How deep did you break when you could not endure?

Would you do this for me –
Make this cut somewhere secret so the scar won’t be seen?
Split this flesh from your skin so we can see what we really need?

As the ripples stir the surface, does the deep stand still?
Or does each wave remember what you could not outwill?
Now with you behind the claws how do you see the end?
Do you see everything you’ve lost, to be lost all again?

Would you do this for me –
Make your face smooth and pale as a frozen stream?
Make your body rise like ice from the bed of a creek?
And be perfect as a lily, dried, pressed, and framed,
And remain forever fixed, frozen –
Will you do this for me?

Remove innards offal so they don’t tarnish your sheen
Fill the spaces with cotton, your eyes two glass bead –
Little bird, would you do this for me?

There’s a beauty in this innocence we’d all like to hold
But our claws they can’t grasp it, so we just watch it go.

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.
