about

Recorded in 2008

lyrics

I was baptized in dirty water
Fish swarmed around the face of my father
77 times I’ve been the bled bull
77 times I’ve been the matador

Once was winter
Once was water
Once was holy
Once was hollow

I am swimming in a sea of glass
I am swimming in a sea of glass

The wings on my heart are 7 feet wide
The blood in my brain is 1000 feet deep

All nine names for spring in reverse
Breathe like my dark light they all mean home
77 souls sing the sun in to the sea
77 souls set that fiery fucker free

Once was winter
Once was water
Once was holy
Once was hollow

I am swimming in a sea of glass
I am swimming in a sea of glass

77 seizures before I hit the floor
77 fingers all nailed to my door
77 devil 66 horse
77 lepers all suckling from the source

The wings on my heart are 7 feet wide
The blood in my brain is 1000 feet deep

I am swimming in a sea of glass
I am swimming in a sea of glass

Twin leper kings and butterfly wings
I’ve been the matador
I’ve been the bull
Twin leper kings and butterfly wings
White horse no horse my dead horse sings
