about

Berlin/Toronto, 2019-2020

In the summer of 2019, I was far away from home in Berlin. There, in the former mess hall of the abandoned U.S. listening post on Teufelsberg, I found a piano. The few notes that I recorded from that piano became the backbone of this song.

lyrics

hello split lip
I knew you'd come again
hello guest star
orbiting ours

she knows that
clear eyes
hide behind liar's lids
she knows that
headroom
rattles inside

hold my knees
I swear I've seen it
let me out it's open season
here's my coming down sound
hear the buzz, hear the saw
it's hot like July

on meteor street
my neighbours tease
and leer through curtains, watching me
with their tie-dyed eyes
with their bloodless smiles

way up here
up on the big rocks
where I stopped
I thought
I saw
a new nosferatu
come to roost right here
next to you

oh!
could you send someone?
I just folded right up
could you send someone?

hallelujah
to the nearly deleted
howling luna, my dear
am I all here now? is it obvious?

I feel nowhere
whip quick
split lip
bullseye
pin me
wise crack
black eye

hello split lip
I knew you'd come again
