MOTHER TONGUE
I understand it when it's spoken to me
A head on a chest, a cheek
I didn't want to use it to say "I love you."
My mother's tongue
I wanted to keep it alive
Like a creature in a jar
If I loved it enough, it would grow grow grow more
An equation chalk on my hand
When I lay on your belly I want to use it to describe everything
Poison points and like oil it comes out
A hex leading to a suffocating drought
Hoarder of things
Boxes of kids clothes
Dresses from 2003
When you speak it only I understand
I want to pass it down (when you speak it)
I wanted to pass it down (only I understand)
Coffin chest pain (when you speak it)
Rental housing (only I understand)
My spells, they were your spells.
Like snake DNA
GLITTER BELLY
Star flowers falling down
Watching Doris on TV
The screen is fuzzy as I melt
Baby fat, silver chains, butterfly curtains
All the colors
Beaming from her eyes
In poppy wires and mud
Glitter destiny jean thighs
She's covered in a sheer sparkle cocoon
Star flowers falling down
An angel descends as I slide my hands
I wax the moon
Times I won't forget
Glimmer blush, flickering star

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
