Pulling Down the Moon

from Apophenian by Sam Cooper & The Sleepwalkers

/

lyrics

Lost in animal dreams
My bones will always freeze
Under floorboards start to creak
Predawn parties and fuzzy teeth

There’s maroon here under my nails
Burning radios and trails
Call me Jonah or call me the whale
Swallowed down in the belly of the beast

And oh, I’d like to know
Who keeps adding to this feathery load?
Who’s the one headed back to the womb?
Who’s the one pulling down the moon?

There’s a blackness I love most
Dead deer in her dark winter coat
Haunted but I don’t like to boast
All my neighbors are ghosts

The coals have all burnt down
Climb to the atrium and fly around
I was born to this no-horse town
And my voice, it just echos

Dig up the salt of the earth
And drag it ‘round again
There’s truth in the gems of the sky
And I’m on the mend
Pulling down the moon and chaining it to paper
And nothing will hurt again

And oh, I’d like to know
Who keeps adding to this feathery load?
Who’s the one headed back to the womb?
Who’s the one pulling down the moon?
