A Cold Shoulder to the Grindstone

from Ghost Knuckle Raps Table by Tape Hiss and Sparkle

/

lyrics

Cut the earth
Pick and spade
From the darkness
Where we're made
Ground my feet
Air my arms
A sacred tree where you left your charms
In the dark
I need my eyes
Hand stretched out
I touch the night
Hidden roots you never found
Half our lives we leave behind
We search for words that we can't find
And i know
All the urgency is stone
All this sinew now is bone
Now i know why this is inside us
Falling on my hands
Here we go again
From our birth
From our mouths
To the edges of your house
In the dark
I need my eyes
Hand stretched out
I touch the night
Hidden roots you'll never find
