Written October - November '18

lyrics

Sketched and left to age
Set to turn the page
All your ink spilt like Autumn leaves
Certain and softly
Till the colors covered me

Stanzas tangling
So quite new a thing
Eye to eye despite mine cast down
And yours dancing through the clouds
Autumn paints with sky the ground

Sap so sweet seeping through broken skin
Views so sanguine, standing up out on a limb
Just like any fool, climbed on in
Poised to plummet, higher off original sin
(If there's an after all)
Through cracked limbs and sap recall
Savoring the fall

Golden from afar (A muse so used to trope projection)
Crimson though you are (Aglow with indigo complexion)
All the green that you hope to see
Plant it now with me
Silent, underneath a tree

Sap so sweet seeping through broken skin
Views so sanguine, standing up out on a limb
Just like any fool, climbed on in
Poised to plummet, higher off original sin

It's not too late
The leaves aren't brown
No ice to skate
I could climb back down

It's not too late (A stock in leaves of tea competing)
The leaves aren't brown
No ice to skate (With fear of heights and mights receding)
I could climb back down

Cold and quiet blanketing what had been
Sheets of snow just diamonds to wrap ourselves in
Ice is unavoidable, Autumns end
Complex reflection--just another way to see you again

Sap so sweet seeping through broken skin
Views so sanguine, standing up out on a limb
Just like any fool, climbed on in
Poised to plummet, higher off original sin
(If there's an after all)
Through cracked limbs and sap recall
Savoring the fall

about

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
