lyrics

There’s a thousand tiny mussels 
Clinging to your body 
You steely, hollow vessel
 Floating through the party
 And people are parting like the sea 
When they see you
 Gushing, just busting at the seams 
The way it seems some people do

  But have I got plans when it’s my turn
 I’ll be warming my hands on the bridges I burn 
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn
 Warming my hands on the bridges I burn

  And they bow like dandelions in your wake
 I guess there ain’t no limit to the shit some people take 
But it’s not exactly opaque what they see in you
 Hoping scraps slide from your plate the minute you’re through 
But I hope they’ll wait and wait and wait until they turn blue  

But have I got plans when it’s my turn
 I’ll be warming my hands on the bridges I burn
 Warming my hands on the bridges I burn 
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn

  And just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water
 I bust a vein
 And the sharks are circling around me again 
Splashing and laughing and pulling out all of the thread
 The sky is falling 
They’re trying to kill ginger
 And I’m seeing red

  There’s a thousand tiny mussels 
Clinging to your body 
You steely, hollow vessel 
Floating through the party
 And people are parting like the sea 
(People are parting like the sea)
 People are parting like the sea
 (People are parting like the sea)
 People are parting like the sea 
When they see you

Sprained Ankle

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst

Dark Furs EP
by Dark Furs

supported by 4 fans who also own “Tiny Mussels”

A voice that brilliantly combines Moyet-like soulfulness, Fraser-like ethereality, and sugar-cubes era Bjork-power, and is perhaps most it's own thing on the super-fresh Concrete Corners. Notmebabe
