about

“Holy is Your Breath” was a chance for me to write and sing about sex in a way that wasn’t grotesque. It was and is a moment and a feeling.

lyrics

Holy is your breath
Holy is your breath
Upon my throat
Like a widow
Buried in the fall
The arc of your back
And what it saves
Men from death

With you coming up the mountain
I’m bleeding from the chest
You holding thread and needle
With an eye that says
Not yet

Holy is your breath
Upon my throat
The fear of god
And all what desire
A reckless wing
And all what it saves
Men from death

Oh, what a diamond
She proclaims
Steady in the eyes
Is that man
One on the altar
Two in the chest
Destined for sin
But not yet
