about

Originally released on Dillbilly's 2013 record, Heavy Joi, "Marionette" was recorded on a loop pedal in Lewiston, Maine at the Faire Bande A Part Housing Cooperative.

lyrics

I climb inside my body
My body climbs up
Attach my hands to bridges and hoist myself up
I fill up my lungs
My lungs hold my breath
I keep it pushed down below
And I won't let it go
My bones, my bones play the beat
My synched up skin and limbs just flap in the wind
The tops of trees and mills are my stepping stones
And I'll race you home

The higher you drop it the harder it hits you
The harder it hits you the higher you drop it
The higher you drop it the harder it hits you
The harder it hits you the higher you drop it

I swallow syllables
My mouth, mouths the letters
I keep it in the pit, in the pit of my stomach
Kindling words, a heartburns a fire in my belly
The blue flame pulse inside the marrow of my bones
My bones, my bones anchor me
My stringed up limbs and skin are a marionette
The movement and cadence of powerful hands
I swing and dance

The higher you drop it the harder it hits you
The harder it hits you the higher you drop it
The higher you drop it the harder it hits you
The harder it hits you the higher you drop it

Height, distance to the ground
Elevations rise, don't look down, don't look down
Height, distance to the ground
Elevations rise, don't look down, don't look down...

Waxsimile Productions Oakland, California

Waxsimile is a record label operating out of Oakland, CA. Our genre-bending catalog stands apart from the typical mainstream pop, rock, country, and folk music. It is fun, whimsical, worldly, dark, and eerie and takes you from the alleyways of Chicago, to the streets of Beograd, and back to a dive bar in Louisville. We hope enjoy what you hear! ... more
