Dereworthy - Aspetos

From the 2019 EP "Mother, I Cannot Weave"

I released this little duology a while back, but I'd love to share it here with you all :) I release music under the name Dereworthy on bandcamp, feel free to check it out: https://dereworthy.bandcamp.com/

(I previously went by the name Middlescence, but it doesn't resonate very well with me anymore. Dereworthy is an Old English term of endearment, similar to "my heart" or "dear heart" 💖)

Lyrics:
I'd sear a thousand seas
To see you smile,
And when I'm drunk on hope
(It's only once
In a while)
I might cling to you
In a dream;
Hoping you might stay
Close to me…

Tell me I'm bleeding
I'll tell you I'm doing fine;
I'll bring the water
And maybe you bring the wine
So I'll drink you up
In one sip;
Licking every dreg
From your lips—

And I'd put the stars
Back in your eyes;
I'd take them from home,
Out of the sky,
And I'd leave them there
Without care
For the holes they left
In the air…
