Calling up
Told me "the world's just not enough"
You'd been the light out on a darkened bluff
Since the day that I met you
What am I when you're alone?
An echo in the halls of your adult home?
(Some memory caught)
In a Spiritual that you still hum
in the dark of the Churchyard?
Its all the same
Feeling every day
But you drive by my house
Puttin on a smile
for your friends and your family
A song I know
But you sing it on your own
Everything you lost
Involuntarily hung
In the air as a talking point
When the good times go
There is a maker up above
holding his hands in the shape of a cup
waiting to catch you
Its all I see
When the world's coming down on me
No temporary light
An ever-deepening well
In the eyes of my enemies
A song I know
you said that you'd outgrown
is ringing in your mind
each and every night
But the words slipped your memory

Soil & Sheaves

You called in September, I wasn't by the phone
Down California, I bent beneath the stone
Despite all my trouble
I felt my heart was full
Green trees and white snow fell to gravity's pull
All my long days were spent in peace
We ran by the water, you spoke
Spoke against my doubt
We drove out of our way to watch the sun paint the clouds
Sang in the chapel till dusk and opened all the windows
And our songs of love rolled down to the valley below
And all our long nights were spent in peace
You dressed like a dancer and spun
Spun beneath the moon
And out over soil and sheaves a white owl flew
You took it as a sign that you were not alone
Down through the fog and field
We are going home

Halo

No cardinal sign, no actual halo
But you wore it on your face like a kid
The whole world was an elementary tale
Spending our days like we did
Is your lifetime still an offering?
Do your hands still shake in the dark?
When a good time was a flashlight and a cop car
Feeling our way to the start
Lord knows that day's coming
With a curl in your smile. Another tick in the dial.
The cause caught falling from Heaven
Are you aimless now? Is there a new way out?
The whole thing’s breaking beneath us
With the ageless sound of it coming down
Coming down

Alaska

We were children, we were sculpture
Every season was a vision we could capture
Every person was a page placed in a chapter
Foolin around
There's an Island in Alaska, a painted picture from the inside of your backbone
Pacific ocean like the outside of a castle
Prayin' "keep us from harm"
Then your friends all started drinking
And let the smoke begin to circle round the ceiling
God in Father, Son and Spirit found you sleeping
On the bedroom floor
Spoke in secret, laid it all out for you
Played it backwards, kept account of the truth
When desire begs like a serpent
Know we all bend like the first did
In your mind built like a compass
You saw it comin, pity in the promise

Shoecraft Everett, Washington
Shoecraft has patiently carved out a unique sonic identity and is fueled by a passion to contribute to the rich lineage of
artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest.
Their early recordings gently piece together sparse acoustic instrumentation, clearly derivative of their vulnerable beginnings, inspired by the likes of Sufjan Stevens, The Innocence Mission, Andy Hull, and S. Carey.
