lyrics

She’s the paint peeling off
Of the walls of the house you were raised in
She’s the weeds in the spring
Shooting up through the cracks in the pavement
She’s the cloud of flies
Gathering on the dead dogs in the riverbed
She’s the water that carved out the grave where they lay
Before turning to steam in the stifling August heat

She first spoke to you
Through a sliver of moon over thistle fields
Then the shimmering isles
Of dirt caked on the windshield
Now her siren song resonates
In the rust blooms on the sewer grates
Her image in bonfire cinders agleam
Before blowing away through the primitive star-crossed streets
She surrounds you now
She seeps between the seams
The ink stains on the page
The foam atop the stream

She surrounds you now
The rattle in the leaves
The space behind the walls
The colors in your dreams
She surrounds you now
She surrounds you now

Decompositions:Volume Number One
by Circle Takes the Square

Brings all the passion and technical sophistication from 2004's As the Roots Undo but with much more fluid compositions. Worth purchasing for the last track alone! Novus spero
