Lyrics
Ammonite
I press my broken ear
full of the scum of sound
to the chest of the common ancestor
to the heart of the heartless-land
hearing everything
in the oldest night
he crackles in the static
he fades into the light
in the wake of thunder
in the shadow of a dream
I am crawling towards him
slowly upstream
and we’re lit by lightning
on a luminous beach
as he darkly whispers
‘I’m within your reach’
white song sung sore in a thrown voice
swells up in the shell of a man
whose heart by rote learns every note
whose fossilized ammonite ears divine their right
his body mollusk-like
in a violent sleep
encrusted in her echoes
awaits his slow release
in the wake of thunder
in the shadow of a dream,
she is crawling towards him
slowly upstream
and they’re lit by lightning
on a luminous beach
as she darkly whispers
‘i’m within your reach’
