When I put this poem of Sarah Heagy’s to music I went for an Eastern European feel.
Erick Hovey

lyrics

I have caught eyelashes in arid palms
Join me in this ever-varying game
Kneel down on, scabbed knees
Teach me how to pray on a Sunday
In the halls, eternally risen,
Perhaps I will find sanctity
In a dwelling so different than my own
Grow with me kiss the ground
Along the glass, I have caught driven glances
And long clenched fingers, holding my uneasiness
You close your ears to all that surrounds us
Filters, clutters, unhinges
Right is wrong, even in your chest you feel it
Will you find sanctity
In a dwelling, so different than my own
Grow with me kiss the ground, grow with me kiss the ground
Grow with me kiss the ground, grow with me kiss the ground
