benj on guitar, matt on drums. iphone recording. deal with it.

then the storm came and we started running/then the sun rose and broke right through/the clouds and the world below/the sky-blue was faltering/and heaven spread our her arms/il cielo allargò le sue braccia/then the earth shook and it swallowed us whole/i know it's only a matter of time/the earth trembles not for fires burning out

Cast Cathedrals (Demo)

sans matt's guitar parts. this was recording a bit haphazardly in a basement with one mic into a four-track. the pitch actually got a bit messed up, but let's pretend we did that to be lo-fi.

II.
Vagabonds wait for time to fade,
then blame it on the western world:
"I know this is so much to ask,
it's just that these things happen too fast."
 
i'm sure your father knows this,
as he fathers his apotheosis of,
 
"Where do we find our own?
All I've ever known was home.
And when the wind then picks up,
I'm left in your wake."
 
"Now, son, you've crossed the sea,
sailed beyond our history
and my stoic eyes."
 
for what do i owe the sun
for my son or my brother?
my sister or my mother,
whom i left behind.
 
sail away from you;
sail away from view.
 
I.
now clean your hands of me
or decide my worth
but cut the cord first to prove what i will always mean to you
now that i know the name that you chose for me,
i felt the lack of radiance recalled,
like all the waves in your hair that i only saw in old pictures
i never found in attics lost to dust and fate.
and he carve my face in all his righteous deeds and worries?
did he lie awake? or did he fake sleep, like a child or like a warrior?

oh, mother.
