Grief
A little frightened beast
Cupped in your hand
Petrified
Its wild heart beating fiercely against your skin
Hold it tenderly until it calms
And only then release
Tragedy
Inevitable
Tragedy
It flocks to us like geese
It’s a migratory cycle
The soul must travel this path
In order to breathe
Today the cut comes
I receive it
Today the blood comes
I offer up my arm
Today the cut comes
I receive it
Today the blood comes
Today the cut comes
He said: make sacred your pain
To gather useful information
On your journey through the twilight
Give your blood; receive the cut
Lay yourself bare
And acknowledge
The place between the day and night
Today the cut comes . . .
So vulnerable, everyone
Did you build a hard shell
To keep it safe; to hide
So you could pretend you hadn’t lost so much
Living a half-life
To fool the others; cling to the light
Well it’s better to make the sacrifice
A quirky, infectious experimental pop EP that digs into the conventions of millennial ennui - no future, too much tech - to find connection. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2018
The Dragon Inn 3’s Yaz cover gives a good idea of what to expect here: bright, bubbly throwback synthpop with irresistible hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 29, 2023
