Excerpted from Marissa Nadler's New Radiations 'Weightless Above The Water'
You don’t think about the danger, the bluest of the blues
I’m way out of range here, but closer to the moon
They forbade me from trying again and again
Had no fear of dying in flames of crimson
Was ready for flying without coming back
I saw the horizon
The sun would rise, it all turned black
I left it all behind, but I’ve lost contact tonight
Was ready for flying without coming back
I saw the horizon
The sun would rise, it all turned black
I left it all behind, but I’ve lost contact tonight
I couldn't understand why you hadn't, until now.
-- What I had known on that first day you were to come over for an in-person lesson at the apartment, and then your cancellation and ... The lyrics I had written that night; I I had to destroy them, the lyrics were so visceral...
I was the first to leave because I had no means to stay, my Love, not because I was angry or had given up.
...
Then came 'High On A Rocky Ledge' and Patreon and 'Whispering Pines' and tour '23...
and so on.
Come to me, my Beloved
💖
