about

A RATBABY ORIGINAL.
My friend Fly Catcher of (Owl and Antler/etc) showed me modal banjo tuning, and it's swallowed me whole. It sounds like I feel; mournful, listless, close to defeat, but I'm not going to lose. This isn't my usual sound, but this feels like me and I'm proud of this.

lyrics

I fly on the feather of an owl
high off the ground
We're all drowning
I'm homesick for you

Winter x2
Winter's coming for you, too
Winter x2
Winter's coming for you

You've seen every part of me
Now a stranger I see
My ribs like shattered glass
Help, there's been a robbery

Spring x2
Spring is coming for you, too
Spring x2
Spring is coming for you

All I had to give
Wasn't good enough for you
Now I'm afraid
I'm losing you to the fog

Summer x2
Summer is coming for you, too
Summer x2
Summer is coming for you

We all meet and end in the snow
I wish for a different time
I hope we meet again like this
Until then, I'll sleep and dream

Autumn x2
Autumn is coming for you, too
Autumn x2
Autumn is coming for you
