lyrics

I pull at my prayer
 I struggle to 
Undo the olden wound
So I’m pacing the porch 
I weary the stoop 
And I beg my childhood too
I try 
Bosom loin mind and gut
To settle My heart
That’s the only way
 To settle My heart 
Holy hollering 
To settle my heart

I straddle my prayer 
It muscle me
Hold fast steady 
Bear the swelling grief 
And I cradle And talk to my mystery
 Don’t shut me out
Don’t deceive 
Don’t embarrass me
I try 
Despite the furious mind and gut
 To settle my heart

Buck shudder cuss hiss and shake 
My early mysteries
 Veil dull weakening 
Holy roarer wholly hollering 
C’mon settle me down 
Pit clench cuss piss and sing 
My heated prayers collide 
Wreck that throat tattering 
You pulled the honey out while I was inside the belly
C’mon settle down 
Holy horror wholly hollering
C’mon settle
 Hold me down

This is the second in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post.
