whether it rains inside or not
i'll open up
all of my windows
tug of abyssal syzygies
i'll feel a pinch
and i'll let it all in
whether i walk in time or not
i'll flip the end
over the margin
psychohermetic liturgy
i'll bite the hook, i'll feed the beast, i'll soothe the child,
i'll let the blood, i'll reap the wheat, i'll drain the bile,
i'll part the sea, i'll tame the goats, i'll climb the cross,
i'll light the torch, i'll leave the cave, i'll break the glass
or something like that
i would simply collect myself if i could
but my stubborn pieces
they won't succumb to my hermes trismegistus
and the labor's wasted
whether i know my name or not
i'll conjure up
all of its power
i gotta eat the yellow snow
i know it's sick
but i gotta turn left
whether the walls collapse or not
i'll force my way
into the sanctum
abracabraxal theonym
i'll speak the word, i'll sip the wine, i'll prick the vein,
i'll brew the cup, i'll cut the cord, i'll prune the vine,
i'll roll the boulder up the hill for all of time,
i'll pluck the eye, i'll bruise the heel, i'll heal the asp
until it bites back.
ah resistant animal
afraid to climb
into the heavenly heights
and plummet into hellish depths
we faded through the bliss
with all our limbs
in tactile realms beneath
the sand-like starfield
we kissed the dewy palm fronds
whether i touch that dial or not
i'll catch the pitch
feeding the symptom
end of a reeling palindrome
i'll whip my neck
for the sake of my back
whether i reach the sun or not
i'll flap my wax
over the marble
endopneumatic antigen
i'll weep the brook, i'll till the earth, i'll still the flood, i'll
greet the dawn, i'll burn the mask, i'll clear the scum, i'll
fix my gaze upon the navel of the face, i'll
read the lines between the lines between the lines until i can't
This album is incredibly personal and rich. The melodies are very memorable, and I hum them regularly. Beautiful arrangements and lyrics of the earth. Tod Robbins
An angelic, bluesy and painfully poetic album that will resonate with almost anyone. Josaleigh takes me on a melancholy journey through heartbreak and introspection that I can’t stop listening to. 10/10 Esteemed Ham
