about

This song is about my husband and trying to get to a place where I could understand that loving him didn't need to be associated with my personal traumas, but asking him to accept all of me.

lyrics

I licked your lips when you were cold
You drank my tears when I would hide
How could I deserve a beautiful one
When she gave me nothing to lean on

My fists were stiff, white knuckled high
Being torn between bed post and life
I’m gonna give you this like it’s the first time
And the last

How, oh how
I have to stop to ask myself now
Why can I not change

Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn your cheek so effortlessly cold
Cut me free with few words
Fight with hearts undone
Turn your face to this everlasting love

A simple day remains a lasting one
And if I ever forget it
I’ll open up my chest and say
Look what you’ve given me

And now we’re here
Deciding dear
With this love be our knife

Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn you cheek so effortlessly cold
Cut me free with few words
Fight with hearts undone
Turn your face to this sweet
Everlasting flare gun
I’m coming to your rescue baby

Harvest me my love
Make me move the moon
Gather pedals and weeds
Take them all and swoon
Give me one more time to coo you
To breathe in the air that surrounds you
All I want is a chain reaction
To spill my brain from all the chaos of attraction
To you

Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn your face to this sweet
Everlasting flare gun
I’m coming to your rescue baby

about

Cardioid Portland, Oregon

The main creative project of Lizzy Ellison (previously of Portland’s Radiation City), Cardioid flits between genres and tones with the sly, dexterous abandon of an artist in full control. Ellison terms it “fantasy metal,” silvery and elusive, resoundingly strong yet invitingly fluid. pre-order Fantasy Metal vinyl!!
