lyrics
oh the razor in your apple the affection of your glove
the prison of your company the snake oil of your love
the leash by which you drag me the heights that hurl your scorn
the trumpets play the livelong day but they blow so forlorn
did you hold the hand that held me down
did you laugh at my expense
when there’s rust upon your ragged crown
who will stand at your defense
when i unveiled my weakness on your rodeo of tears
you stood there so vacantly your fingers in your ears
and you left by the morning with all that’s left to steal
but every time you say farewell there’s breadcrumbs at your heals
did you kiss the hand that held me down
was your kindness just pretense
when there’s no one left for you to clown
who will stand at your defense
but its ashes lord its ashes why must we all fall down
you take your place among the saints make not a single sound
and on the hills that held our childhood the flowers they grow still
you lay beneath them pushing weeds and i guess you always will
could you be the hand that held me down
when i was sick with common sense
now your statuettes are all torn down
now your innocence is spent
and ever since your epitaph was splattered on my wall
no one comes to call they can’t stand the stench
but i still sing your praises every time the curtain calls
the burden on me falls
yes i alone stand at your defense

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
Land of Talk return after a seven-year absence with a record full of mournful, bluish synths and the glorious vocals of Elizabeth Powell. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 20, 2017
Recorded in two weeks in the hills of Mount Tamalpais, these songs travel through everyday monotony to the sublime and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 5, 2016
