Monadnock

from Miles of Snow by Ben Kreader

/

lyrics

the road you left, a dead-man's curve
it kept you humble, it left you hurt
so up you climb, to cheat the sky
to hang long icicles from your eyes

I feel something you're trying to feel
way down here we take trouble to hear
if you'd only come down

from Monadnock mountain
you're covered in snow
frozen your fortune
so you steal what they stole
my empty pockets
are all I am here to take
you won't melt, but I won't go away

I know these floods, they feel like home
I guess I drown better than I float
but I am strong to sink so low
a pressure diamond, I came from coal

I hold something you're trying to burn
flames won't thaw what you're wanting to learn
if you'd only come down

from Monadnock mountain
you're covered in snow
frozen your fortune
so you steal what they stole
my empty pockets
are all I am here to take
you won't melt, but I won't go away

I won't go away

climb down, climb down, oh climb down
put your head on the soft, soft ground

His Chicago roots bring tornados, rain, and sky to his lyrics, mirroring the Midwest's meditative melancholy. Influenced by art-pop pioneers, Ben melds country-folk narratives and blues vocals with a dense forest of electronics and beats into simple songs of love and loss. ... more
