about

Recorded at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA

lyrics

I spent years inside a thick blue fog
With no horizons or landmarks
To tell east from west
Or kitchen from bed
My eyes and lips
Were my compass
So tell me where am I now
Inside this house
When there is no line
Between the earth and sky

Sunsets behind a muffled cloud
I watch the colours all bleed down
Into a beautiful mess
Across the train tracks
Where there’s no trespassing
Or going back
So tell me where am I now
Inside this town
When there is no line
Between the earth and sky

In this city of crows
That sit like black leaves on branches
Of trees that are bare-boned
Like a cloak of dark feathers
City of gulls
Han gliding and landing
On chimneys and rooftops
After scavenging breadcrumbs
They come home

We’re all winged refugees
Abandoned talons for clenched teeth
But when we open our mouths
Birdsongs still come out
The trilling cadence
That we carried south
Well here I am now
Inside new skin
I am not tied
To this cage I’m in
