about

Well, I wanted to "cook" this one a while longer, but it's been a busy week, and I've got a gig today, so this is where it's gonna have to land, I'm afraid.

lyrics

And she was standing still, taking my pulse
Looking like a chestnut tree
And lord knows where that knife come from

she was tapping on her blood-stained knee
eyes gone black with a switchblade mouth
Subtle as a mushroom cloud
And all I thought was how’m’I supposed to think

them cicadas so damn loud

Back in years gone by, my momma took a swing at
Keeping up the family pride

packed us in the car with the bags piled high

smelling like insecticide

and thinking back now on her seaside visions

trying to soothe us like a rocking horse
but all we heard from the back seat, screaming,
Was the crashing of a slow divorce

Should you sing a reckoning song

you’ve been gone far too long

throw away what’s broken
And you keep what you need

put it in the poison you bleed
Find your way home

So tell me true my mind’s gone blank

my memory good and bled

what poor steps led my four limbs

come sprawled across this bed

have I sinned how come to kneel

how deep deserved my shame

what strong wind now stirred to wrath

come fanned this fuel to flame

Did the blood run cold did the dirt run thick

where my momma taught her birds to fly

did she bury her name where the cold steel shovel

broke the ground neath the iron-rain sky
Did he hope she’d bend when she swore she’d never break

did she tie her tethers down

and was she thinking of you, my sister blessed

when she stood her cold, cold ground

Should you sing a reckoning song

you’ve been gone far too long

throw away what’s broken
And you keep what you need

put it in the poison you bleed
Find your way home
