about

a classical couple fight where words fly out of the mouth before we think what we're saying, put into a song. a burial song to a relationship. an eulogy to the future not to be.

lyrics

cut and mend, my hands
can't undo the spoken
repented words just like birds
slip between the fingers

staining red the unsaid
collecting all the broken
fragments of your face
lying on the floor

oh is this what we wish for,
are we heading nowhere here,
oh this is what we wish for...

stare at your back as you walk away
and i'm thinking your shoulders look so beautiful
i'm left naked, torn of your embrace
and it's windy, we're hueing into autumn

and autumn dominates your skin
separate, we'll ripen
leave to the Earth
our singular inheritance

this present tense
merciless collection of
worlds and dreams that we won't make together

oh but this is just just who we are...

stare at your back as you walk away
and i'm thinking your shoulders look so beautiful
i'm left naked, torn of your embrace
and it's windy, we're hueing into autumn

….maybe my twigs will never reach your branches
but you and i dear, we are joined at the roots
maybe my twigs will never reach your branches
but you and i dear, we are joined at the roots
...maybe one day my twigs will reach your branches
and you and i, we'll lean onto each other
yet maybe my twigs will never reach your branches
but you and i dear we're joined at the roots
joined at the roots, joined at the roots...

cut and mend, my hands can't undo the spoken
repented words just like birds
slip between the fingers...
