lyrics
You’ll never know me without a seizure at age four:
absent eyes, ambulance ride, life: a closing door.
No, it doesn't work like that:
we don’t lose ourselves in other people’s worlds.
“We” is always “me” and you’ll never know.
Sterile smell, fever state, the spirit’s sprawl across the floor.
Brain that’s dyed, breakout of hives, grief for their first born.
No, it doesn't work like that:
experiences press heavy against life.
I know that “we” is always “me” and you’ll never know.
“Go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep.”
No, we don't grow closer:
weighed down, honest face from others we all hide.
I know, “we” is always “me” and I’ll never know.
You’ll never know me if you haven't known the sound
of paramedics in the house, carrying your father down:
his slurry speech, his fearful eyes, half his face a drooping frown,
your fearful heart and your relief to find he’s still around.
“Go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep”
You’ll never know me if you haven't tasted tears
over mother’s youngest sister and your best friend, it’s so clear:
at all times, in every moment, death blows in the air
she cries in soup, I lie awake knowing someday we’ll be there.
Kelp speaks to me. Sad and experimental like Drowse. Musical freedom. I teared up during the chorus of "Falter" while watching them play last week: "you are changed." drowse
August creates slow, warm songscapes. He has released a wild amount of albums since starting the project last year and I'm in awe of his work ethic. Also, my friend Alex from Sprain plays on this. drowse
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
