about

Another song that is hard to describe, except through clever levers...
always every way to say but what it actually is...
Essentially this song is about the onset of spring and the sexual awakenings it thrusts forth... it is the process of rising from the idle cold slumber of winter hibernation & the revelatory trips that were had within such dreamscapes to the state of the present that which is rapidly clamping down upon the blossoms...

lyrics

there's more than just the birds ringing in the spring
i can hear a twist amidst the silence screeching
i can hear a barking and i can feel a breaking-
i can feel a breath every time the wind blows,
and i know-
there's more than markets crashing outside
my window-
beneath which i hush and hide
hunkered down low-within the cracks of space time
upon such plateaus-
that send tremors down my crooked spine
and ever so slow-
it starts to settle in//settle in like a bruise
such a deep ache
of which i know not how to//know not how to attend to//tend to
so could you lick the pollen from my
oh come now lick the pollen from my
oh wont you lick the pollen from my wounds
the pollen from my wounds...
-
(for) there's more than just the blossoms building up this spring
i can see it all around when i go seeking
it out and scrolling down-
right aside above and now-
i can feel it closing in every time the wind blows
and i know-
there's more than seasons changing outside
my window-
where i wait for never to subside
tucked in silk and scan and a great divide
that sets them all aglow-
the faceless plates and thin blue veins
amongst the static flow-
of a not so secret refrain
and ever so slow
it starts to settle in//settle in like a bruise
such a deep ache
of which i know not how to//know not how to attend to//tend to
so could you lick the pollen from my
oh come now lick the pollen from my
oh wont you lick the pollen from-
such deep hues
of which i know not how to//know not how to attend to//tend to
so could you lick the pollen from my wounds
oh come now lick the pollen from my wounds
oh wont you lick the pollen from my wounds
the pollen from my wounds...
