lyrics
*** Lyrics: My faux pas impressed In concrete hardened in my chest This omen’s authorship is Scaly Certain Silent Screaming All of these eyes are tugging on my inner tides Oh, let me sweep your ocean floor! I swear I’m Worth the waste Of perfectly unsoiled space Your brain is barking: “Squandered bones and bread and benedictions” I have no cross examination For your thoughts I stuffed my court file full of tape loop nooses There is a fire It says I’m It says I’m the hair that’s swimming in your soup And if I’m the pebble gnawing at your heel inside your shoe Then why are these smiles All beaming at my inner child “Pumpkin, don’t you step outside they will burn you And a poncho for your pouring blessings Lest they wet your skin No bittersweet goodbyes For parting guests you don’t let it” Is there some cross examination For these thoughts A holographic hammer smash To these broken fuses Cuz there is a fire It says I’m not anything There is a fire It’s sorry for everything There is a fire It doesn’t mean anything At all ***

about

Single from the upcoming full length album "The Wisdom to Know the Difference Vol. I"

"The Wisdom to Know the Difference" is Matthew Daher’s electroacoustic solo project exploring the limits and possibilities of control and agency on both a sonic and spiritual level. Using Ableton Live, contact mic drum triggers, and samplers, Daher processes acoustic drums and vocals, blends them with lush textures, and triggers other sonic events from the drumkit at varying degrees of randomness in song-structured webs of intended and unintended sonic consequences.

"Fire" is a tongue-in-cheek meditation on social anxiety, the power our self-depricating thoughts can have over us, and the power we can have over our self-depricating thoughts.
