נתן גושן - מה אם נתנשק

Don't turn away

Not merely a song. A field recording from the edge of where names fail.
This is pain rendered in bark. A warning for those who walk both ways uphill.
Verse laid in pitch. Hook caught in the ribcage.
A voice stitched into moss, memory, and time.

Lyrics: 

They told me not to name it
The woods beyond the still.
Where roots grow up, not downward,
And walk both ways uphill.
Take your time between the pines,
Time turns sharp and still.
I was born under a blackbird scream
And baptized in a ditch of "let it be"
So I sang the name at sundown
Come cradle me, O Thick
Terrible dream, terrible scene

The bells don’t ring. The dogs won’t bark.
Just strings and matches hoping for a spark.
And that old man's song went something like:
Don’t follow light. Don’t trust what bites.
Walk the path where thorns still try.

In the Thick, we dance in circles,
With no end and no escape.
Every path a kind of test
Every breath a lung deep ache.
I brought my seed for the trees, I wore my best, best believe.
A suit stitched out of shame.
In the Thick, you never die.
You just forget it gets your name

We carved our love in birch bark
That bled a bitter sap.
Hung wishbones from the branches
Where the sun had turned it's back.
You kissed me like a bee hive.
Said, “Boy, don’t be afraid.”
But the moss grew up my ribcage
And with every sting my voice would fray.

My friends are gone. The well too is pit and pitch.
The old thread mill is a legend now.
Tale of landfill myth.
The land of Nod, gated commune, overgrown with burrs
The blame is on the tip of your tongue.
So many able remain unheard.

In the Thick, we dance in circles,
With no end and no escape.
Every path a kind of test
Every breath a lung deep ache.
I brought my seed for the trees, I wore my best, best believe.
A suit stitched out of shame.
In the Thick, you never die.
You just forget it gets your name.

And in the swell of the swill
The still remembers mine
