I was born choked in a shroud of thick smoke.
I was born under a cataract from a cataract.
I was born swimming in that milky aura.
I was born in that old stretched out birthsack I’m in.
But I was born in spring
the year Jupiter got its rings,
singing, “I will peel free.”
I’ve been shaking off a shadow all my life.
I was born inflamed,
shot face-first out the cocked eye of a hurricane,
and today, still some of that storm surrounds me.
But I was born in spring,
and baptized in the kitchen sink
and I’m gonna shake that storm from my frame.
I’ve been shaking off a shadow all my life.
I’ve been shaking off a shadow all my life.
I may be pink when I come out my skin.
I may come out a broken yolk,
I may come out on saddle.
But I was born in spring,
anointed in kerosene.
I might yet take flame.
I’ve been shaking off a shadow all my life.
I’ve been shaking off a shadow all my life.
And I’ll crawl loose.
I’ll claw loose.
i absolutely love the version on Mr Fifths on this tape! same for Good Friday too, but that song is so special to me i’d probably love any version of it.
i love hearing these familiar songs completely reinvented. it’s like listening to Yoni cover his own music.
also Yoni absolutely SNAPS on Distance pvthfindxr
I missed out on getting a physical copy years ago, but this album is worth the purchase. Every track is my favorite, but I really love Beast of Burden. Crystal
