lyrics

So we’re agreed
Label this “best”
Grinding my teeth as you dream and I rest
Murdering time
Seven will come
Gather my strength and get ready to run
Straying from form
Staid and remote
Cough up your tale from the back of your throat
Drag me along, here for the ride
Who could have known I was coming inside?
My skirt, your hall
Your mouth, my call
That’s all? What about
Wars that were waged and the
Skin that was grazed
And the promise the diner lights made?
This isn’t done
We are the conquerors,
This is our daily detente
What better time to decide what I want?
You sleep, I’ll walk
Curious trend
Isn’t it strange?
What information you chose to retain?
All of my fears, none of my wit
Drape me in jealousy tailored to fit
Lining your walls
Faces you’ve earned
Duchesses hanging themselves on your word
Women of rank I have surpassed
Each of them certain you mean them to last
Such love, such depth
Not quite, not yet
You’re spent, weary of
Slights that we logged
And the bullets we dodged
In a skirmish we barely resolved
What have I done?
Wasted this time with you
Gave myself reason to fold
Next time I’ll buckle and do as I’m told
Wake up! I’m home.
Keep your eyes shuttered and rise from your slumber
And walk into walls as you will
I’ll hunt for morning rewinding old stories
To keep me alert for the kill, you remember those
Crudely drawn parables trapped on cassette for the
Little ones left on their own
Somebody somewhere assembled these fables
And shattered them once we were grown, with the epitaph:
“Here lies the good man who no one saw coming
With one self made orphan curled up at his side.”
Popular logic says I should be patient and
Stay in your range as you’re changing your mind
Which you won’t.
See I’m choosing my battles
I did tell you I’d try
I’ve been draining their bottles
I’ve been learning to lie
At last, at cost
Stop tape, stop loss
I’m fraught
Dwelling on friends I must keep and the
Ends I make meet and the
Speed of your heart in your sleep and you’re
Burning up
Won’t throw the covers off
Won’t take my arm from your chest
Sleep honey, sleep. I’m here.

Hannah vs. The Many image

Hannah vs. The Many Brooklyn, New York

"(Fairchild's)songs play out like tiny musicals - they’re dramatic, punchy, and lightly dusted with Stephen Sondheim’s lyricality ... you can hear a likeness to his dark theatre in her music."

- WNYC Soundcheck

"The key's in the name. Hannah vs The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many... You wouldn't want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild's ferociously taking down - track by track."
- Deli NYC ... more
