From the recording Nowever
A conversation about domestic violence in a relationship. I chop n change the narrative to talk as the 'he' or 'she' in a relationship. The "Black Stones" are the bad eggs, the ones that are violent in the relationship.
Lyrics
She said she’d call me the night before.
She said she’d wake me so I get off the floor.
I’ve been waited on and
I don’t even think I believe me.
She’s only climbing walls when she knows he’s there.
She’s usually eyes dimmed, foetal and reserved.
She holds a breath long and shy.
She’s shakin’, shakin’ loose this skin forever.
He said “Don’t you whisper. Don’t you tell.
I’ll make you regret it”
But I won’t shiver.
I’m gonna shine over you and all black stones.
She reads only some truth but many lies.
She wonders what it was like when she knew his love.
She’s only counting on luck that he won’t strike her down
But she won’t conceive it.
She said “I won’t whisper.
I’m gonna tell the whole world about your so-called love.
But I won’t shiver.
I’m gonna shine over you and all black stones.”
