rib bone white and still as stone
still as an animal playing dead
heart in the house I'm calling it home
but the watchdog's waiting at the door alone
eyes at my ears and its mouth at my throat
boundless sea I'm set adrift
to sail across the hardwood floors
blinded but my body knows
to the backyard
in the dark
hear the dog bark
falling rapid fire
I am lethal
watching in this hour
as the streets change
fill with people
what's the hurry?
with the watchdog waiting at the door
with the watchdog waiting at the door
with the watchdog waiting at the door
eyes at my ears and its mouth at my throat.

Feelings I get from this EP: Like walking down a boulevard in some sunny American state, while the magic hour twilight bounces off the pavement, people smoke and talk and fall in love and out of love. A bittersweet place, because we know the night is coming, but it's not yet here. Michael Keerdo-Dawson
