Lazarus
one death ain't enough
We lap the dust you used to ride
Your barrel chest
Does it fit like you remember it?
Does it itch?
Does it chide?
As for me
I could never rustle up envy
for how your stone rolled
My sole solace is
My soulless husk destined to disintegrate
My condolences
I could dole them wherein you wear out the words therein
And I
I've been thinking
All about your poison
And how it's wrapped in sweetness
And I would gladly eat them
Lives like this
are so sumptuous
You laugh it up
but you'll pay
It's like every cut that you got
but all at once
and the salt assaults each one
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
I am pretty sure I love this album because of lines like this:
"Time cast a spell on you and you will forget me
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
I will follow you down ’til the sound of my voice still haunts you
You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loved you" . Somehow they hit really hard, even though the instrumentation is coercing you to sway back and forth in a positive form. quiet_calm_deceased
