You are not a bird, but I will love your song
Of stature quite small, but like your mother, strong
You could've had feathers on, but your wings are just arms
Let birds have their feathers then, and you can have my songs
St. Francis loves all the animals, when they cry out, he's listening
St. Francis loves all the animals, and your father named you for him
A moth in the floodlight, its wings lit up like fires
and your eyes alight when you learn your own powers
A deer in the driveway, the headlights leave her blind
She's still as a memory of something left behind
St. Francis loves all the animals, when they cry out, he's listening
St. Francis loves all the animals, and your father named you for him

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
