01. After the Soil, Rain

V5.5

(rain. the same rain from the end of Feral Hymns.) (then, slowly, strings. warm. the first warm thing in three albums.) Verse 1 The rain came after the way it always does — not as a reward just as the next thing the sky had to give I stood in it I let it I didn't run Verse 2 There is a version of this moment I almost didn't reach The soil is dark and full of everything I burned and buried and released And something is coming up through it I can feel it in the soles of my feet — something green something that doesn't have a name yet something that is only just beginning to be Bridge (half-spoken) The rain doesn't know what it's watering. It just falls. It just falls. It just falls. Outro (strings swell, rain continues underneath) (voice joins — wordless, open, warm) (fade into the next track)
