about

How to describe this song? Have you ever jumped out of an airplane? Have you ever caught a snake with your hands? Have you ever seen a crane eat its own tail? This is a good driving song. This song is about the journey AND the destination.

Track 3 of our upcoming album, PSYCHOSOMATIK, and probably the least accessible. If you can tell me which section is the chorus, you'll be the grand prize winner.

lyrics

PAPER CRANE
When you leave, I don’t linger long…Tell me when you’re coming home
In the dark I carry my skin; I bite down on a rubber pin

Do you remember September, the basement on the floor?
Candles and incense, a churning lightning storm?

Every word is written in the silence at the shore
Rinse the stain of coffee from the serpent’s tongue you wore

In the dark I carry heavy stones downstream
Hitch the boat at sunrise, catch the water foaming

By daylight I’ve wandered east
By midnight, my bitter tongue has been released

I’m creased beyond redemption
I beg you please to rest your apprehension

Steal a moment, steal a day, steel your heart against the pain
Fold another paper crane, open eyes and a heavy heart that sighs

By daylight I’ve wandered east
By midnight, my bitter tongue has been released

I’m creased beyond redemption
I beg you please to rest your apprehension

Do you remember September, the basement on the floor?
Candles and incense, a churning lightning storm?

When you leave, I don’t linger long…Tell me when you’re coming home
