about

I wrote this one recently, and recorded it on tape with a friend.... This is a digital version, but the tape one should be up soon!

lyrics

If we died at seventeen songs unheard and sights unseen
Like when you spoke those three little things on the mezzanine
Would you still repeat?

I'm done with love if this is what its called
Just keep me warm but not too hot to hold
You faked your sin to break through my sin
And crawl inside you scarab of mine
A scarab you'll mine me

Folk tales of white whales
A haunting of some stream
Pressing from all sides
A heartbeat or some beast

Take me back to seventeen I could'a been king
You could'a been my queen
I'm on a binge bordering on mean
A means to wash away or burying it deep

My throat's run dry from writing to you
I won't be seen or swallow or chew
You've mined from me my plasma and steam
And left your mark who threatens to succeed
A scarab you've mined me
