The second single for Foxing’s sophomore album Dealer, released on October 30th, 2015.
In an interview with Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy bassist Josh Coll details the song’s background:
“The content of ‘Weave’ is kind of like an answer to what ‘The Albatross’ was,” bassist Josh Coll says. “It’s...
[Verse 1]
With ticking womb of wedlock
Soaking blood through a dogwood lung
The unhinged cull of oxygen
How have I been stuck here for so long?
Drained out a tunnel in an albatross
Now I’m haunted by the bird
Her hounds left tracks on my breath
Until I had no more air left
[Verse 2]
Selling out an old soul for sales
I am caught up in the guilt
Making a living off of drowning
Leaves me one step in the wrong
Have I been stuck here for so long?
[Verse 3]
With broken works on love loss
Collecting earth from ground alone
On my soft slide into torch songs
How have I been stuck here for so long?
[Refrain]
Have I been stuck here for so long?
Have I been stuck here for so long?
[Verse 4]
The winding love of life lost
No longer haunted by the thought
That every mark I make on emeralds are now
One step in the wrong
One step in the wrong
One step in the wrong
[Outro]
I’m alright, it’s time I moved on
