I defy the stars above to bash our milky heads in
Throw themselves against the wind
then pick apart the heavens
When I awoke
I was in forever
When wind felled the oak
The saws all failed to sever
Is my I am myopia?
Now I feel the same
This belly aches with vacancy
And aren't we one among the wave?
His undulating tragedy
I mean maybe I could turn you on
By design you are the fire
chewing through the lumber
Never would the wood be good
enough to sate your hunger
Now I sleep adrift this shiftless vessel
I’ll never keep the ghost inside the gristle
Is my I am my opiate?
Now I feel the same
This belly aches with vacancy
And aren't we one among the wave?
His undulating tragedy
I mean maybe I could turn you on
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
