Climb
Is all we know

When thaw
Is not below us

No, can't grow up
In that iron ground

Claire, all too sore for sound

Bet
Is hardly shown

Scraped
Across the foam
Like they stole it
And oh, how they hold it

Claire, we nearly forfeit

I'm growing like the quickening hues
I'm telling darkness from lines on you
Over havens fora full and swollen morass, young habitat!
All been living alone, where the ice snap and the hold clast are known


Home
We're savage high
Come
We finally cry
Oh and we don it
Because it's right
Claire, I was too sore for sight


We're sewing up through the latchet greens
Un-peel keenness, honey, bean for bean

Same white pillar tone as with the bone street sand is thrown where she stashed us at
All been living alone, where the cracks at in the low part of the stoning

About Wash.

As in Washington. Most of these songs are named after places but none of them seem to be happening anywhere, which evokes between-ness (fading memory, aimless aging, moods you can’t break, head-colds you can’t shake). A spare, gently lifting piano progression and lyrics that seem to evoke searching for comfort in the familiar (a bed, a home, a friend) and breaking down when it isn’t there. “Eyes too sore for sight,” goes a line. Hopefully, he’ll Visine them shits before he hops in the car and makes for the next destination.
