A recorded reading of “Thorn & Thigh”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
I bloom from the hunger of open hands, fingertips buried in the trembling dirt, spreading—aching—splitting wide, as roots curl through the marrow of me. No mouth, yet I part like petals, dripping the breath of something raw, something wanting. Thorns press into the silk of my skin, trailing a path of whispers and wounds, pain and pleasure braided like vines. I am the altar and the offering, the tender ruin of soil turned to song, a body undone in the slow unfurl, slick with the sweat of surrender. Stem deep, I rise, pulled by the gravity of want— a flower gasping for the sun, wild with the fever of its own bloom.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: sub pulse, breath vox, vinyl] [Verse 1: lofi kit, warm bass, palm-mute gtr] I bloom from hunger in hands Fingertips sink deep in dirt I spread, I ache, I split Roots thread through my bones No mouth, yet I open Breath drips warm and raw [Pre: lift, pad swell, soft snaps] Thorns press into silk skin They trace whispers and wounds Pain and pleasure braid vines I wear the mark and rise [Chorus: big, clap stack, doubles] let me open, oh let me let go [Verse 2: add piano, wider pad] I am altar and offering Soil turns to song, tender ruin This body undoes, slow unfurl Slick with sweat of surrender I lean into ache for light My root drinks fire and rain [Pre: lift, toms, oohs] Stem deep, I rise, pulled close Gravity of want lifts me A flower gasps to the sun Wild with its own bloom [Chorus: big, clap stack, doubles] let me open, oh let me let go [Bridge: drop, whispered adlibs] Thorn Thigh Open Oh Slow Glow [Chorus x2] [Outro: pad fade, heartbeat kick]
