I gave Xavier a whole mess of my lyrics that I’ve written over the course of the last year or so, and he’s been fooling around restructuring old songs to new melodies. This is our first original track, “Witch Trial.” 

(Also, I guess we’re going to need a band name: now taking suggestions.)

Lyrics:

And the first time a kiss meant anything
I spit the the first words that came to my lips
“I love you” and I think she did too but she knew it would be over soon 
I’m glad she didn’t say it back
that would have fucked my shit up real bad
it’s sad 
alas, on the last rail
shivers skinny a cat who lost its tail
the train shudders, tired, 
crows on the wire 
cackle and chatter
the cat, in fear, scatters.

The earth will turn the other way
the earth will never burn in flames

and you’ll survive
any witch trial
you’ll float
over the edge
of the cliff
and they’ll know

Be good to the creatures of the earth
be good to yourself most of all for all your worth

And the last time a kiss meant anything,
she said the first thing that came to her head
“I Love You” and I think I did too, but,
I knew it would be over soon
I’m glad I didn’t say it back
that would have fucked her shit up real bad 

The earth will turn the other way
the earth will never burn in flames

and you’ll survive
any witch trial
you’ll float
over the edge
of the cliff
and they’ll know

Be good to the creatures of the earth
be good to yourself most of all for all your worth
