lyrics

Lamentations are Lacerations
They keep your faults, around their necks
And they rub them like dark, potent amulets

Spite and scorn, turned inside out
Shows the stitches of misgiving and tags of doubt

Apologies they aren’t always a state of grace
When they’re dusted off and rolled out
Just to save face

The breaking up, of the ice
Has left you drifting on floating bad advice

Leave the crow, on the fire
Rather starve than come clean as a liar

Your glowing eyes and their unassuming grace
They eclipse the scars of lies
That criss and cross your face

Lamentations are lacerations that the heart implores
With each succeeding, stinging cut it just beats for more
I’d like to help you patch the wound
And slam the door behind you

We’ll make a hole, and throw it in
And promise not to dig it up again

Spite and scorn, turned inside out
Shows the stitches of misgiving and tags of doubt

Apologies they aren’t always a state of grace
When they’re dusted off and rolled out
Just to save face

Lamentations are lacerations that the heart implores
With each succeeding, stinging cut it just beats for more
I’d like to help you patch the wound
And slam the door behind you

Part Eliott Smith, part L. Cohen, as run through the production wringer of Daniel Ash…Kattenbraker’s baritone voice is pleasant and soothing. The guitar work sweet and mellow and, might I add, deftly played… Portland’s Music Liberation Project
