lyrics

Untethered by time’s wicked torment
You’re meant to weather the wild storm sent north
and if ever I wish to lie dormant
I’ll know to look for you

You give me eyes, kind eyes still searching
For faith like a bluebird proud and perching
Worse things have come from bows and curtsies
I look for you

Infected and destitute, I’ve defected from the institute
Into suits and moral absolutes
And if I ever wish to be myself again I’ll know to look for you
I’ll eat and gather my health again
Just know I’ll look for you
(I look for you, I look for you)

I look for you across my mattress
Examine the parts real close like an actress
Lattice looking like a cotton wool atlas
I look for you
I leave myself inside it
Hot springs still sing in silence
While it’s work to keep my eyelids from moving onwards
I look for you

I look for you beneath the water
And in the blue I’ll see our daughter
She thought her father wanted to abort her
She looks like you
I leave myself at the surface
Floating on while I battle with worthlessness
I know you don’t deserve this

Untethered by time’s wicked torment
You’re meant to weather the wild storm sent north
And if I ever discover where it all went
I’ll find you.

about

O Memorie Brooklyn, New York

"O Memorie is at times dark and haunting as it is bright and up-lifting. The songs are thought provoking and powerful. One need not wait until the dead of night to listen to them, as they sound just as good on an overcast afternoon." Divide & Conquer Music ... more
