I have read the tarot
and it finally read me back
Two packs and ironcrew, they saw you
Now you're running through the wild
Like a trembling needle
The way it'll grow as slow as it can
Like a core dropped in the brush
One breath left on-
Oh! and a morning shining like a marble's eye...
These letters grow longer
narrations of arching beaches and fields
of Vetiver
[BAD SIGNAL]
THIS IS LIKE THE NET
RUNNING JUNK DOWNTOWN I
HAVE YOU AS MY
BODY DRENCHED IN
BODY DRENCHED IN
WATER
YOU TALK LIKE AN ARMOUR , EIGHTEEN STAVES AND
SWEET SUGAR BREEZE
SWEET SUGAR BREEZE

Accept
the blackness of my home
all the tile is cracked and worn
grows round the wicked bramble
sung my wicked mouth:
"Sunk, yes like a fist.
I can see right through
The Keyhole
and I heard every sound"
Yes!
The nighter is wider here
And
As the tide draws near
We'll rest
She tastes the simple taste
of solace and white bread and
Marmalade!

Yes, i wanted you to be my wife
but turned as you were
coming back from the island
i knew something was wrong
the big-brick sway of your face
the insipid truth, the perfect fruit
specially collected in the crook of your neck
hard to yes or hard to say no or easier still to sleep alone?
the climax subsides
just like the tides
guided by the moon
an unwarranted smile
indole and more violent compounds
twilled twine wound too tight
a brilliant flash of white
hard to say yes or hard to say no or easier still to sleep alone?

I've finally lost it
Tomte cornered me
and fed me a pebble
Now against the cement hearth
I'm finally invisible
Sent through a cracked well
Your wish is granted and mine are covered in mud
I rattled the cage i guess too hard
now things are winding up
and the springs are busting
and the beast here has ink
and once
the woman has a mouth but no nose
and the flowers have to scent
i went and when the sun finds me,
I'll drop the coin in a well
i ran
when your face appears in a crowd of others
i'll stop at the centre
raise my hands and pray for
water

SWEAT

|

|
it may not be as long as you thought
i came here to lose my faith
speak with a fist in your mouth
like a phone off a hook
when did sweat start tasting sweeter than wine?
i just wonder, Wyvern. the same old earth?
the big gross earth?
the way of ruthlessness,
diffused by the fire?

A hot night at the fountain
last night was a month or more
it rained for a week more
these gutters, they're swollen with water
I'm sure
For the first time
You'll be awake
I had my two kids
Morgan & Oslo
We went to Ostergutland
This year was the longest
'Cause my family told me so
All the cowboys
Wanna sweep me off my feet
We're choking at the bar
Subtle lies, all are yours
Puff the cheeks as they sound
"I Maternal, move to the Earth"
Puff the cheeks as they sound
'I Maternal, move both the Earth and-
I'll defy the signs of motherhood
Batten-breast down with
The damndest twine
Fool my father
Into the longest
Largest
Sprawling night"

STROBE CRAMP

If you tell me that I'm losing it
That I'll never be found again
If you say...
If you said that my train of thought is a runaway
You'd probably never understand
If you said that my train of thought is a runaway
You'd probably never understand
These waves of regret can be cruel when you let them
Wash over you
These waves of regret can be cruel when you let them
Wash over you
but you'd still wash my hair, wouldn't you?
A beat and rest
and we are red
It's going to happen again
When I felt
the brush of your breath
Painting me with health
So, when I finally sink into a canyon
all it'll take is a laugh
Oh,
I've decided
To sort my thoughts into sane or not
my Flesh Sung Red
we flex our muscle again,
It's a beat and a rest
and we are red

Let me know he'd come back
Just ask mom and dad
Hallowed halls
A certain angle would come back
Just as a love did
I have black rook that I like
It's a mask i try on
A brite-lette here
In its own
Sits on my lips and defecates
The source of it all
To try to keep you
Underneath
Burn the angle come back
Just as a love did

MANIFOLD

I'm burning seconds
while doing the crosswords
I felt exposed, outworn, solid-cold
All black zen
A crushing, wilting breast and
i'm a thousand calendars around your neck
A shame bed that you lie in
At the right time
Stepping into
The right line
Acussed of the right crime
You could learn me like a language dead and gone
A torture to the tongue and to the song
Swing the cymbals where they belong
And now the rising tones begun
The tobacco field that I found you at
Warped by yellow heat and beetle mouths
Green wood and falling horizon smoke
On foot, these walls draw a tomb
Her right hand fell
Cradle the iron fist
Strike the centre wood
To knock out the beech bough
Knock out the single pitch

No star away
Let me under dusk
For we know
For we are

Bright and full for you

Should
I burrow this
...He don't care
Snow buried and flooded here
...He don't care
So evil and high
...He glows
So
Very
High
Deep and free

Furrow me

I've somehow managed to find this album a few years too late. I haven't been able to stop listening to it the entire day.

Baltimore's Woven In feels especially focused and resonant on her latest LP, fusing goth, drone, and experimental electronics.

LA's Glaare make dreamy dark pop with the blown-out sheen of shoegaze; on their second LP, their sound is more tensile than ever.
