Physical Education
My Sweet one, when the sun shines bright you rot my teeth.
But when the clouds crowd round, you could drink my liver till my liver turns green.
And when the rooster crows, my vision blurs it blurs and tricks my mind.
To thinking night wont come. So that when the night does come, I’m so surprised.
You, Are, Always, on my mind!
You, Are, Always, on my mind!
My Knee caps flattened from the beggin to stand tall.
My Cracked hands, are cracked from ringing out my salted tears.
My split ends from pulling out the hair I wear too long.
And my strong heart, never fully breaks just creaks and moans.
You, Are, Always, on my mind!
You, Are, Always, on my mind!

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
