lyrics

i will not shower you with compliments and platitudes that you will both disbelieve and ignore.
i don't want to say what i know you've already heard countless times before.
i'll just tell you that talking first and hearing later

let me see that you are far imbued (and few imbibed) with qualities that do not meet the ear.
but rather, complexities, nuancities, and anxieties that made me (sincere . . .
ly) love jesus more to see artist and her craft

both live there in such a paradox and dissonance that i cannot seem to figure out,
but leaves me in silent awe as i revel in the glory of how deep one person can be throughout.
in short, it's beautiful. it's beautiful.

about

The Birdhouse Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We're a house in Philly. We have house shows. They are really good. We record them. We give away the recordings.

And there's a loose bird theme somewhere in there.
