lyrics
all her sinews sing human; neath even my calloused hands.
kneading butter & honey, a layer cake of psaltries cloyingly sweet.
whilst my body sounds of, abrupt plastered walls; splicing every circle.
still melodies haunt me like cholicy ghosts, and my pores are clogged with want.
a scalded tongue only pretends to taste sweet.
lest we be birds, let us not roost over great abysses.
and lest we be wolves, we know not the envy of toothless dogs .
throw coins to deep murring wells and sour churches. they fill our fattened paper minds,
but we are as thin as the skin of garlic.
I ve sought any primal rhythm filth-footed on sonorous corpsed and fetal soil only to founder mutely.
where will your colts run, when the barn is burning?
raze the honor and roman permanence of ant heaps with plows drawn by our battered and unresponsive horses.
power walks on crooked legs, no empire endures,
the pendulum swings both ways; and the roots and germs are still at work.
kneading butter & honey, a layer cake of psaltries cloyingly sweet.
whilst my body sounds of, abrupt plastered walls; splicing every circle.
still melodies haunt me like cholicy ghosts, and my pores are clogged with want.
a scalded tongue only pretends to taste sweet.
lest we be birds, let us not roost over great abysses.
and lest we be wolves, we know not the envy of toothless dogs .
throw coins to deep murring wells and sour churches. they fill our fattened paper minds,
but we are as thin as the skin of garlic.
I ve sought any primal rhythm filth-footed on sonorous corpsed and fetal soil only to founder mutely.
where will your colts run, when the barn is burning?
raze the honor and roman permanence of ant heaps with plows drawn by our battered and unresponsive horses.
power walks on crooked legs, no empire endures,
the pendulum swings both ways; and the roots and germs are still at work.

Turns (the song, in particular) is precisely the music I wish I could write. It has a melancholic/introspective feel while still having drive behind it.

Laying in the high dry grass, listening to the crickets playing their song, wondering if times of true serenity were never over, but right there under my nose, the whole time.
