WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"All I know about silica is that you can make both steel and glass with it. This is about being strong and fragile."

"Silica"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Let the ache out
Spread it around
You want to fly him in
You want him
Play a grown-up
'Til you grow up
If you could, you would
If you could, you would
I swallowed some bad voodoo,
Caught it in the gut
Wish you were here,
Wish I was not
You hear someone wanting you
How can I fume,
Then be bursting with kindness?
A gracious cocoon in the shadows
We're in good company,
Us lefty-Lucy's
Play a grown-up
'Til you grow up
If you could, you would
If you could, you would
This is a touch prayer,
Praying for you
Wish you were here,
Wish I was, too
Come see how okay we are
Come see how okay we can be
Picture her silica, lifting her shirt to the sun
Picture her silica, lifting her shirt to the sun
(Cherry neck sea)
Easy now, easy now, easy now
Picture her silica, lifting her shirt to the sun
(Cherry neck sea)
Picture her silica, lifting her shirt to the sun
(Cherry neck sea)
Easy now, easy now, easy now
Picture her silica, lifting her shirt to the sun

Fireworks for you in the ozone snow.
