Withering Heights

lyrics

These lungs in me make it hard to breathe
All this air that I can't see
It pushes so hard, so hard

There was a heart inside - rivers of blood run dry
I watched as it withered and died
And grew so cold, so cold

Bind me
Suffocate me
Oh, release me
Breathe new life into me

And I have these eyes, immune to dark and light
Sunken and dark deep inside
They've grown so old, so old

Bind me
Suffocate me
Oh, release me
Breathe new life into me

And these hands of mine - wasted sinew like twine
Well, they're grasping and struggling to find
A way to stay by your side
Till we're old
And so cold
It's so hard, so hard

about

Minor Birds Oakland, California

A classically trained pianist and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, C.Wilde spins poetic tales, with a voice oscillating between a silky coo and a guttural howl.

Intrinsically poetic, Wilde’s music is about the journey, rather than a set destination.
