lyrics

there was a storm
the night we moved into our home
as though the sky could not hold
its breath anymore
the neighbors watched
with frank and undisguised suspicion
as we brought our equipment
through the front door

our experiments filled the night sky
they drained the clouds of their sound
everyone around us hid beneath their ears
as if the end would never come
… as if the end would never come

did you say that you lost your umbrella?
and that it looks just like mine?
bite your tongue, i’m not sharing
and it looks like rain all the time

… we’ve erased the very language of the sky
… denied all that there is left to deny
… and still we cannot clean the ink from our fingers
