I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould

open wounds
secret stories of…

All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
