about

Written and recorded at Strudel Girl Studios on Ithaca in Greece. Thank you so much to Lola Demo for the fabulous production.

lyrics

The stone I burned
is like and ice witness
it trips the sled
before it dies

The fear inside
the splitting lake
is bubbling up
through my rib cage

Ch.
Because I only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before I was born

I blessed your thoughts
before they filled your brain
but you drowned
them in wine

The violence dives
through icicles
but I am dry
and I am swimming

Ch.
Because I only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before you were born

Violence dives through icicles

Ch.
Because I only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before I was
only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before I was born

The stone I burned
is like and ice witness
it trips the sled
before it dies

The violence dives
through icicles
but I am dry
and I am swimming

Ch.
I only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before I was
only knew you
only knew you
only knew you
before I was born
