about

00:00 - 3:04 brevity
3:04 - 3:27 piano interlude for swans
3:27 - 5:12 house of cards
5:12 - 5:53 bird physics
5:53 - 6:09 being in the world
6:09 - 6:33 life, by a thousand cuts
6:33 - [end] the bad kind of yearning

lyrics

i could only ever be
whatever that’s worth to you

on god
on lust
on brevity

we find, despite it all
something worth digging our nails into

not to hold on to
but to feel ourselves ripped open
and left behind
with another

_
could i really know another
or am i just wasting time
can i place it in my body
or is only in my mind
or is it only in the evening
when i tell you everything is fine
and we spin around in circles
until we’re sick of this tonight

_
what was a body now is shame and bones
my mind is sharp as a tumbled stone
but about as pretty
i could do so many things if I wanted to
what was a closeness to you now feels far
turns out that this temple is a house of cards
but at least i’ve got a dozen hearts to choose from when when I pick them up and build again from the start
