about

Interior Monolith outtake
Like Interior Monolith this was recorded at home during lockdown in 2020-21

lyrics

I never noticed the humidity here until this year
Like the sea is in the lobby
too big for her plastic seat
Shifting, sloshing
flipping through ladies home magazines

She's had these nagging symptoms
Night sweats, night terrors
heavy dreams
Thin blood, dry mouth, anxiety
Babies burying their parents on the beach

the doctor frowns at my chart
Your platelets are still low
Let's order some more tests
And I get heart palpitations
but that's just stress I bet
I'll save it for next time
Enjoy the suspense

I leave on rubbery knees
back through the lobby right past the sea
she looks right at me
then stands to follow the nurse
And I am so thankful my case isn't serious

But later I think
The only way to plunge your brain into cool water
is to jump in with your whole body
It seems unfair
To those who are the water
