lyrics
Babe, be still where you lay
All curled up tight
I know where you’ve been
and we’ll meet again
I’ll suffer the day
And come to you at night
And I’ll slip silently by your side
The same weakness that made me hate you made me need you…I think the Italians had a word for it…and I normally wouldn’t have cared, but you had a truth about you; an honesty in your posture. You drank like me. You looked comfortable alone, like me. And in the darkness of the room, in the middle of my melancholy leisure, you were the answer to the question I couldn’t scrape from my brain, couldn’t put into syllables, the question that hung like a sadness and wailed like an unhealthy preoccupation. I followed you out the door and shielded my eyes from the afternoon sun.
This is probably the part of the story where I should make my apologies, but the most I can offer is a list of accomplices, like the streetlight through the window, or the shadow beneath the bed. It was there I waited, and there I traced your name along cold springs until your feet, in their soft, white socks appeared, and tip-toed like a child toward the bed, and I could feel the weight of your body in my hands, I could feel your heat and smell your skin and for a brief moment, we were together, but the fire was quick, and the shadow was dark, and this is a sad song.
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019
