I wish I'd never left you alone With glass eyes staring towards the sea It never rains the same way anymore I'll bury fresh ash in this dead cold soil To destroy those parts of me I'll become part of you, my friend
2.
Silver Armor 05:27
Take your arms out, sink through fibers Under waves of dripping glass tears wash the air Feel the pinprick, feel your veins swell A wash of static comfort carries you away Through shallow skies we’ll learn to live It’s all the same I swear I’ll feel better now treated, discarded I’ll feel baths of silver as they washed over fresh skin and formed calloused armor Stay awake, Stay right next to me Stay inside with me on the windowsill Catching colors in morning glasses before you leave There’s a place for us

Rheya 05:33
I’ll be there when you fall Out of touch and out of place We’ll fall past the stars forever so lay Your cold hands onto mine Tangled webs to cut away Stretch and pull the tides down Our hands peel back calloused scarred memories In letters and words that never said the things I feel Crushed and gleaming glass threads grew In spreading shadows, then Fell forever The pieces they spun out expanding refracting the afterglow in reds then blues and greys
4.
Aching lungs return the air gasping and empty Underneath our shaking feet Spreading webs expand in stone Curling waves stood still in sway, stuck between Felled trees thawed and choked the river When it broke it filled the sea with crooked necks Yet I smiled with broken teeth It reminds me this broken world will never heal
5.
Broken Teeth 05:34
The sunlight fell through castles whose faces Had wrinkled and decayed They stand insignificant Their shadows stretch around the earth and Blanket wind scarred expanses The heat rises in waves that’d warped The distant horizon for years and years The cornerstone stretched and pulled back and forth For centuries, through eons Broken teeth Fell out like leaves in fall I grabbed the key and buried it deep In old eyes that had seen the suns die So many times before Cycles slow and shudder then return to a standstill Breathing nothing anymore but threads of clouds

Fall through fragile stratum that breaks under our feet Our figures will turn into charcoal sketches Of our shadows on the rocks below Fall out, strained steel shudders And tears through the stretched patchwork You remember me don’t you? Remember you? I’ve spent 40 years remembering you, Sandy, painting a picture inside my head, listening to your voice, thinking about your touch… I’ve spent 40 years surviving for you Sandy. It can still be that way. The way you are The way I am. Stand still Stand still and wait For the buzz and chatter As the static slides to face us as it Lights up and remains tall and near Stand still and wait for it all to dissolve and fade Stare out and wait until the hourglass is empty

about

YLLA Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"...alternatingly menacing and intriguing incorporating discordant, math-rock riffs and screaming between segments of subdued vocal melodies, horns, sound samples and soft, static-y feedback–often within the same song."
