about

Inspired by the poem "The Silent Articulation of a Face" by Rumi. Song written/recorded in 2010/2011. Original version/mix of this track which also appears on the album "Subtle Cruelties"

Track flower- Syrian Mallow

lyrics

As fallen leaves beneath the bough
bring subtle cruelties of spring
love comes with a knife
love comes for the bleeding
and all has run into the ground
and you and I are nothing but skin
and eyes lay dead beneath a shroud
and eyes no longer hold their meaning

The ground submits to the sky
and suffers what comes

Which way does the night go
as suns arise and set in me
love comes with a knife
love comes for the bleeding
running through the fields
tell me is the earth worse
quietly choosing death
drinking bitter poisons

The ground submits to the sky
and suffers what comes
