about

This song was partially inspired by an image of a particular cloud formation that may follow a storm - it presents as ‘roughness’ but generally dissipates without developing further.

It deals with yearning, complicated by the dissonance of what has transpired still lingering in the air.

lyrics

I have emptied the bellows
Breathed out fire
Created a storm in the cup

I have paced with a madness
It’s wise to surrender
Before it escapes from my mouth

At the dawn
We will see the sun, together

On the tail of a storm
There is no rage in the wind
Just turbulence
Turbulence
Turbulence, my love
Asperatus

Peace comes with a gladness
Forgiveness a gesture
We hold it with stiff fingered hands
We are clumsy and foolish
Childish aloofness
Reassemble the love we once had

At the dawn
We will see the sun, together

On the tail of a storm
There is no rage in the wind
Just turbulence
Turbulence
Turbulence, my love
Asperatus
