lyrics

Living in your eyes, I was such easy prey. Rent by the gnawing maw of subsistence and dispirited by the perpetual rituals of emptiness and despair that coalesce into a biography.

Stay! Stay! But the terror has struck us!

Desperate to feel anything I would have sawed off every piece of myself for anyone willing to make beautiful promises they had no intention of keeping.

Who saw this cavernous ache? Embraced me with endless vulturine arms? And beheld me with ravenous eyes, greedy as an oil starved engine?

There are monsters in this world, you said, but you’ll be safe with me. There are monsters all around, I repeated, that only we can see.

Yet there are wrecks on that shore and there’s no shelter there.

There are monsters in this world, you said, hunting, concealed beneath the human faces that they wear until they show their teeth.

Sparks unknot the flesh.

(With great apologizes to H.D. for the violence done to her beautiful words by these lyrics.)

Lined in Silver
by BREATHS

supported by 20 fans who also own “XXIX”

Weirdly, BREATHS reminds me of Silverstein or maybe Emery, at their best, taking and elevating a genre that I have a huge amount of nostalgia for into something really excellent. An absolute banger. 𝚡̲adaa
