about

Mason on guitar, John on baritone guitar.

lyrics

Like a knuckle clenched, like the cheeks on brides —
like the way we slough off white and paperlike
outdated remnants of ourselves
and try to slither out from underneath our pride,

I’ll be a blemish or a scar,
a blister on your thumb:
you’ll be thinking about me
on the drive home.

Like an ingrown part.
Like the calloused feet,
like the way the frost bursts capillaries just beneath
the surface of something quite different from
how we construct ourselves to seem,

I’ll be a blemish or a scar,
a blister on your thumb:
you’ll be thinking about me,
I’ll be on your mind.
I’ll be on your mind.

Like the feeling of the bed we used to lay upon
and like the flavour of your skin,
I used to know it once,
but now it’s gone.
