lyrics

crafted like a vase
placed hands—projection
to try and smooth
perceived imperfection
born from the same
anxiety She had
now I take it on
throwing into cracks

clay still remains
stuck in my nails
and cracks in my fingers
dried, draped like a veil
She wears it too—though
spoke prim and proper
I see clay-cover’d hands
more must be potters

I didn’t plan to fall in love with you.
I didn’t plan to fall in love with you.
Do you hear me?
This isn’t my fault.
I didn’t plan it.
It just happened
on walks with no scenery
and picnics with no supplies
in your arms when I was scared
when you touched my hair in the way only you can still
and I’m just telling you I would love not to care.
I would love to have broken up when we broke up.
My heart broke a piece at a time instead of swiftly and I know yours did too.
Now it’s time to sweep up the pieces but I don’t want to.
I want to leave them broken on the floor
like mother’s old vase that toppled over when I used to roughhouse with my cousins.
I don’t wanna touch them.

"In just under two minutes, 'Vase' manages to cover a lot of sonic ground. The track oscillates between simple, driving grooves and passages of unhinged garage-psych all twisting underneath the distorted speak-sing vocals." - Taped Records
