about

In an exhausted and exasperated way he stole himself away in the early hours of morning from his den and the Tlingit people to put himself at the mercy of the Kushtaka. First he explains how his heart is so tired from all the things he has seen and lost then waits for them to come. He realizes that they Kushtaka are always around like quiet music in a noisy room, he just needed to stop hearing everything and listen to the song.

lyrics

The impatience of this heart have blossomed
a certain natural clock is set to tick
though it's already tired of talking to itself.
I walked down to where the ocean meets the rocks
and let the coldest water rise up to my knees
I took every step with care
as to never leave a mark
in case the ones that I once loved had followed me.
I drew blood from the air and let it fill my empty chest
I gave hell to all my ghosts and sent them to drown
there are no roads I want to follow anymore
and the only place I know they'll never pave
is the one between here and there
and I listened for an answer in the waves.
