about

I got to work with dei of dillbilly for a show at the lost church, at the end of the time period when I was producing shows. (buck curran played too!) it was a magical show, and I loved their music & really enjoyed working with them. they moved to ohio since then. this song feels especially relevant. -jessie

lyrics

BLOOM - Dillbilly

Verse 1
You won’t recognize me
I’m an absence of color
I take up space
I erase others
Tools I learned to use and hide
In old wounds
When there was nothing left to find
I found truth
So you won’t recognize me
No, you won’t recognize me
When I bloom....

Verse 2
All the light inside of me
Are refractions of color
I change like waves
I sing like the warbler
All my burdens built from lies
And redlines
Used as promises of white
Sand shorelines
But you can’t colonize a dream
So, you can’t colonize me
When I bloom...
Chorus
We are made of estuaries
Our delta mouths turned riverine
We set our hearts to sail downstream
Filled up with salt and then with seed
But on my hands there will always be blood
Mixed up with shame
Mixed up with mud
It’s all held under my skin
I can’t wash away
It’s where the remedy lives....
Verse 3
I’m not as fragile as I seem
I won’t take cover
I am the other
There's no hate left in me when I
When I bloom....
