your only tattoo is three little dots i gave you
said, "it looks like orion's belt"
exploring better options that still pierce your skin
to see if you liked how it felt
try making some art with all your hate and your pain
when you feel the familiar disturbance
but i think it was more for me than for you
because i compulsively have to be permanent
and my old ghost tattoo i got six years ago says,
"i have stayed so inept at leaving"
i spent half a year hoarding bandages
trying to stop your obsessive bleeding
the thought had barely crossed your mind until we met
and now your wounds are overflowing with salt
don't spell it out
don't say it's my fault
it would take more than ink and needle
to be your architect with crumbling pillars
and i know the lines you made that you said were for me
they don't exactly make me quite your killer
but i still leave you ransom notes on your night stand
saying "you owe me more than you possess"
i have drained you clean, i've transfused your dirty blood
and i've still left such a gruesome mess
Recorded in one night in the Grunewald Church just outside Berlin, this EP explores the relationship between instrumentation and space.
