lyrics

well it was once beside the river
when you said you got a shiver in your soul
and it may be a little while
before I see a shining smile
in your eyes

you try to hard to make it happen
but you withhold that you are trapped in your own mind
but if it's love that you are choosing
we must set fire to these illusions one by one
one by one

and I know you think you loved me
but the truth is that in time
instead of caring for my fruit
you left me rotting on the vine

and how my heart burst open
like a grape all choked with twine
whose hapless hope was that in being crushed
I'd ferment into wine

and how you tried to silence me
with your fists into the wall
and make me think that I was selfish
if I defend myself at all

well now my throat's burst open
and the only thing that comes
are the melodies left burning
in the marrow of my bones

is it real, the covenant between
all things seen and unseen?
is it true that two became one?
(rib of rib, bone of my bone)
how will I untangle my veins from you,
if now one becomes two?

ep 1
by dream tiger

supported by 4 fans who also own “Shiver in Yr Soul”

This whole ep is a journey into the souls of artists struggling to find their way in these uncertain times. gold sets up the journey (and is my favorite track on the ep). Every single component of the piece seems very to be specifically and intentionally placed. Fantastic job. Best dream tiger release so far. Cincygb
