lyrics

Look at you tethered to the bench
Your feet merged with the ground
Look at you floating away way up high
Legs and arms sprawling
Are you reaching for a hold?
Are you opening and embracing the hot wind?
The reality of your floating above your cemented seat
These two things cannot be
In this ungraspable time
I will assign the time to this scene. It’s 9:15 in the morning.
Registration of these places escapes in that way
That way that feather-touches the fingers
That way that is only a breeze
A feeling of the thing that is not
Like a twitching nerve in the ankle, an internal prank, an external ghost
Hold this spot, time.
I cannot see you in both of these places, because my eyes move together.

May Our Chambers Be Full

supported by 13 fans who also own “Naming Time”

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
