Millipede

Found a fault with the start today//isolate to keep it safe//we redraw boundaries 'cause what we say is rarely what we mean//I know a smile is waiting in the gums, white millipede//I learned from ivy there's something to be gained when it constricts
Just a thorn in your side till the winter comes//leaves are gone but you've got something to show off
There's no point to cover tracks//if it's your point to not look back//we'll redraw boundaries cause what we mean is rarely what we know//and hope the right words were hatching somewhere just below the throat//and this time ivy doesn't have to mean poison oak
Just a thorn in your side till the winter comes//leaves are gone but you've got something to show off
And one day we will look at rust//and thank the wire brush for it took the paint right off//there's nothing wrong with, wrong with orange//I guess there's nothing wrong with orange

Little Chef

Steady my hand and give me a hacksaw // won't be anything around me in one piece when I'm done//pick at the walls like we don't want the moss to grow // or anything with roots that might take hold
Did he ever know how I was bleeding red // how could I say // when words murmurate to land on baited breath // wait there with the shame
She went on a trip, she saw a condor // it was flying far from the ship so it looked small // tricks of the light that make me get vertigo // when I'm no higher up when we last spoke
Did she ever know how you smoked cigarettes // how much have you changed // do little white sticks now make you think of death // will you throw them away
We were parked outside a Little Chef // an hour since your grandma passed // they tasted stale but I found words to say and later on you thanked me // it wasn't the same, I was too young when I reached that page // the politics of being lonely

The birds don't sing so easily // a subtle stealing of the night begins // with city lights turned on too bright until there's no surprise in sun rise // but you can always hear them sing // you catch the sound, you write it down // at 75 you're looking like your heart got wise
So when we're bursting at the seams // when all our thoughts are cracked like skin on playground leaves // we'll be alright, yeah we'll be just fine when it's said that's where the light gets in
It's not the storm to break us // it's not the way that this will end // we'll fill the cracks, say it's not the wind that's beating wings
So I was always gonna win // at night we saved the life of fish that couldn't swim // so I'll be alright, yeah I'll be just fine // cause I lay down when my fins get tired // so be that compass here with me // no way of getting lost that I can see // one day I might like to try like her I'll find desire in fault line
It's not the storm to break us // it's not the way that this will end // we'll fill the cracks, say it's not the wind that's beating wings

I especially like the wonderfully creaky vocals which are in a high register that reminds me of Teleman, Goodbooks and Stornoway in this alt-folk infused indiepop.
