Thirteen days ago
I watched you
Descend into the earth
A wooden carriage with satin lining
takes you to the underworld.
We saw the trees and their arms
Like our arms give you soft shade
As the sun burns what I knew of friendship.
That left this world with you.
I won't rest until they know your story.
I won't stop speaking your name.
On the day you were born after your death
I screamed your name into the sky
You couldn’t speak
But your tears of rain hugged me and my thoughts of endings
I won't’ stop speaking your name
And telling your story
The stages of grief
The sacredness in mourning
The power a bond has
Leaves behind
The vital desire to live.
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
