Do you remember in the yard,
nursing birds from fallen nests
While the sprinkler sprayed its mist?
Do you remember in the car,
dodging tornadoes after airshows,
while the house was burning down?
Do you remember holding me,
how I would squirm and cry and plead,
how I always will need?
Even when the gaps multiply,
and your head's in a haze,
a boat through the foggy night.
It's abundantly clear that the world spits beauty like poison,
and we're left to lap it up.
Left to lap it up.
I'm so tired of keeping the body and the soul together.

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
