eskimeaux - Grain of Sand

from The Epoch Is Now by The Epoch

/

about

eskimeaux draws icy sweet pop from tinsel-toned ukulele and guitar, and her sad, soft vocals lose you in a swell of storied dreams and spirals.
eskimeaux creates music resembling the symphony orchestra as well as the double helix effect-the shiver of renewal that surrounds your body with stunning home recordings of experimental folk accented by beautiful vocals.

lyrics

I came to you a grain of sand
a mere shadow of a mountain
an empty shell, save for a tiny heart
nestled in a guilty conscience
unsatisfied, I cut my own chest open
and O, how I was mistaken
'cause O, my heart was wider than the oceans.
The expanse of my heart was exponential
a boundless, new realized potential
but O, how to make it beat?
but you said, "Hush, Gabrielle,"
and you reached inside and squeezed
and my hesitant heart began to beat.
I came to you a grain of sand
a mere shadow of a mountain
you took my hand and in my ear you whispered,
"New York is not where you belong,
but O, together we'll be strong
and steadfast as rock
and we'll find somewhere we can gather moss
until our amassing mountain stands aloft."
