Lyrics
Thin light
Cold blue
Old teeth
New moon
Flute line
Through the pines
Something old
Still shines
Smoke low on the hillside
Branches in the frost
Some songs learn to whisper
Long after they are lost
Bootheels in the dark soil
Ash under the nail
One hand on the old rope
One eye on the veil
I know that kind of quiet
It doesn't die, it waits
It hides inside the timber
It sleeps inside the lake
Then one note cuts the treeline
Silver, spare, and true
And all the old black roots in me
Remember what to do
Not gone
Just buried deep
Not gone
Just underneath
When the air turns thin
And the flute comes through
The old world opens
Under the new
Old teeth, new moon
Still biting through
Darkness keeps its daughters
And remakes them too
Old teeth, new moon
White breath, black bloom
One note in the branches
And the whole wood moves
Old teeth, new moon
Nothing dies clean
It just learns a new face
And walks back in
Crow wing on the fence post
White dress in the thorn
Some girls aren't invented
They're weathered into form
Stomp dust in the floorboards
Prayer smoke in the beams
Flute like a ghost lantern
Threading through the steam
I like that kind of haunting
That doesn't beg or plead
The kind that leaves its fingerprint
In bark, in bone, in reed
No glitter on the graveyard
No pretty polished grief
Just something old and feral
Still growing in the leaves
Not gone
Just buried deep
Not gone
Just underneath
When the air turns thin
And the flute comes through
The old world opens
Under the new
Old teeth, new moon
Still biting through
Darkness keeps its daughters
And remakes them too
Old teeth, new moon
White breath, black bloom
One note in the branches
And the whole wood moves
Old teeth, new moon
Nothing dies clean
It just learns a new face
And walks back in
No crown
No throne
Just roots
And bone
No trend
No phase
Just the long
Black braid
If you want the fire
Watch what survives
The old songs keep their fangs
And sing through younger mouths
Hush
Step
Flute
Breath
Hush
Step
Sap
Death
Hey
Hey
Old teeth, new moon
Hey
Hey
Let the pine line move
Old teeth, new moon
Still biting through
Darkness keeps its daughters
And remakes them too
Old teeth, new moon
White breath, black bloom
One note in the branches
And the whole wood moves
Old teeth, new moon
Nothing dies clean
It just learns a new face
And walks back in
Thin light
Cold blue
Old teeth
New moon
