lyrics

When I see your red writhing hands - Clear against the linen - Of a stranger’s bed - It's as if the whole idea of love is caught, - Ruptured and lost, in the fury of your mouth - I cannot pretend, no - That I could take your eyes back to a cursory glance - Maybe I should pin those red writhing hands - To a prison instead - Of a lover's bed - For if I am a man - I live to extend that legacy so grand - From Hercules to Uncle Sam, God damn - Am I just a man? - Am I just a man? - And If you are a woman - Can you forgive the centuries of red writhing hands? - Maybe God reveals his love in sex and death, - And Infinite jest - In fury and doubt - But I am not a man, no - I could not offend a legacy so grand - From Hercules to Uncle Sam, God damn - Am I just a man? - Am I just a man? - Call out a name - I'll wait for the only living word to remain - A name I will call myself - But then I see your red writhing hands

EONS Toronto, Ontario

EONS is the solo project of Matt Cully, founding member and ecstatic chorister of Toronto group Bruce Peninsula.

Taking cues from strange troubadours like Will Oldham and Neil Young, and folk wizards like Sam Amidon and Alasdair Roberts, Cully portrays the minutiae and magic of everyday life as an original vision of “…porch music for the future” (Now Magazine).
