Searching for reasons that you stay away
Searching for your disturbing body
Searching for your disturbing body
The math doesn’t add up when I do it alone
How many paths travel you home?
Disturbing body luring me
How does the wind code your mystery?
In needing the antidote
Look for the bitter part of the fruit
After all the nights so sweet
I walk in the street
Alone with my tune
I savour the bitter part of the fruit
You walk on the riverbank
You’ve got a friend with you
Notice how the light turns blue
And something inside
Whispers and sighs
You’re tasting the bitter part of the fruit
Flowers on the body dead
Flowers I sent
Powder on the eyes of them
They’re too young to die
Dying makes a sort of paste
It’s good for the eyes
Dying makes a sort of cloud
It broadens the sky
Dying makes a sort of sound
It darkens the night
The night was a warning
For my paciful eyes
Heard through the shadows
You’d worn a disguise

This reminds me of hanging in dank basements with musicians way better than me and just being in awe of the emotions they could pull out of listeners.
Really stunning stuff, I hope it promises a lot more to come. Solvent
