lyrics

I looked at the ice
that has yet to freeze
at a lake far away from me
i saw myself walk towards where
the light was trapped
i heard the silence of the snow
i heard the ice snap
i saw the hole
and the dark water below
dear house on the shore
let me be your ghost

dear white house with the heavy door
and the little loose lock and the wilting floor
may i come in

i'll be a fawn in the dawn or a whistle in the firepit
a pencil in your drawer, too short for sharpening
a leak in the ceiling and a cup for you to catch it in
oh i'll be a light in your window in the night
let me be your ghost
be my eyes i'll be your throat.

I will blow through your rafters and shake you with laughter
i will hallow your hollow halls--i will sleep in your walls.
I will wail well.

One of the most powerful records in my collection. Perfect queer experimental folk. This is cool cuz it’s still Noel’le solo in their bedroom but it’s the start of Loone! Wish y’all would record more material!… Ansel__knight
