lyrics
I awoke with the warmth of your breath on the back of my neck
Twilight words fell with the sky – then morning wondered why
Days are keeping this love on the line – nights are searching for a sign
from the ghosts that lie within – now how do I begin - How do I begin?
This heart holds the lock and the key / make your sign over me
Dark are the curtains of Solomon’s room – empty altar for a groom
Can I really be certain of this, the blossom of your kiss?
I’ll be with you my sister, my bride – lost on oceans wide
When I feel the touch of your skin – how do I begin - how do I begin?
This heart holds the lock and the key / make your sign over me
We saw him returning, wings on his heals / on his head
But I didn’t listen – I turned away instead
How come we keep on closing our eyes – searching for a prize
It’s like shooting tin birds at the arcade – these games that we have made
The window sighs, the cool winds blow – with morning came the snow
And soothed this feeling again – still how do we begin - how do we begin?
This heart holds the lock and the key / make your sign over me

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
