about

The third song is "Breath", lyrics charged by the fact that forces of high spirit energy are being called to fight against the scourge of demagoguery. Our resilience is the shared knowledge that, in our awesome diversity, we are equal in the eyes of nature - the true justice of life. As police states aim to control, if not vanquish, the breaths we take - we resist, fight back and, together, rejoice in our honor of collective dignity.

lyrics

Breath

(Music and lyrics by Thurston Moore)

A charming obsession
Where trees are so beyond
Your bloodlust grey mist
And nature's elegant song
Cracked ice and mud
I will make this book from breath
And I will drink and fight
For the noises in your head

Holy action shot in the blue grey dust

Loudness and light at night
Black mist on the northwest zone
Witchcraft which God has asked
for you to keep on keeping on
A thrashing, darling
Severely deserved
Teenage is nothing, baby
Blindfolds stitched in fur

Holy action shot in the blue grey dust
Black angels riding in on rails of dust

A charming obsession
Where trees are so beyond
Your bloodlust grey mist
And nature's elegant song
Cracked ice and mud
I will make this book from breath
And I will drink and fight
For the noises in your head

Holy action shot in the blue grey dust
Black angels riding in on rails of dust
Black angels flying in on rails of dust
