about

From Soft Plastics' album 5 Dreams from Paper Bag Records 2020.

lyrics

Behold the angels upon thy head

Watch their jester’s dance up on your worshipping bed

Their joy drowns out the marching chants of the worshipping dead

Not dead but death a figurehead of profit, he said:

Well, I won’t be alone

I am the crossbeam of your home

I’ll ingest grass and confess to a stone

The waves wear off, and I ascend into the tower again

Your sister prophesized your lost hand in mine

Nestled in the armpit of the heart’s lung I sigh

There are riches, there are floods, there are ways drowned in time

Call this an order: you get the men out of the mines

We left them alone

We had to turn our heads to the Minister’s ringing phone

They let the Ironworkers fall into the sea

Deeds, writ and recalled, in the books said to burn in the fourth internecine

Crumpled their names, screamed and whipped parchment into the womb of fire

Rang, I rang, I rang the bell to retire

But ring, ring the alarm: something emerges from the womb of fire

Rang, rang, I rang the bell to retire

When something emerges can I lay my head up on your lap

Run my hands through my hair and sigh...

Am I tired

Beautiful and heartbreaking album, man I just want to hug the Minotaur and take away his pain. When I think of music that marked me I think of this album. _parangon
