lyrics

Loss
Gain
Knots unravel then form again
The sun shone this morning, then it grew dark and wet and flooded
After, it couldn’t decide, shifting clouds and sun, then chose to rain again but this time looking like tiny crystals coming straight from the sun
Yet there is stasis in my natural state, free from analysis, free from metamorphosis, free from influence
Except I have her eyes and his nose

The smallest, fleeting moments
Are so sharp they’d slice your skin
They are full, a complete concentrate of acceptance, of stability amidst the intoxicating swirl of chaos, of no judgment
When they leave, there is a faint whiff of the possibility of losing this pain
If too much time passes, I forget that I can choose.

May Our Chambers Be Full

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
