lyrics

you said that I would be
accompanied by dreams
that would make this place
less sinister to me
but you lied
i'm terrified

you said that we would reap
a brilliant harvest from this grief
you said that life
is just one long
unburdening
but it never rained
it's autumn in our veins

you said that you would leave
a small, bloodied offering
that would make this night less ravenous for me
but if i breathe
the night will swallow me

you said that you would bend the bars
and let me rest a while in your arms
when the next war comes
and they bomb the last eden of stars

if i lie
would you let me inside
or should i wait
for another lifetime
if i lie
would you let me inside
or should i wait
for another lifetime

about

“Clara Engel’s voice comes to me from that deepest of all places, imaginative space, from which she visually retrieves an ... more inner landscape converted by breath into the rock equivalent of poetry. Rarely has a voice sounded so authoritative, so unapologetic in its disclosures, so sure of its direction in going home into song,” - British poet Jeremy Reed
