about
The Giver is the spirit that gives without keeping, sacrificing the self to continue to give; giving all there is until there is nothing left. To truly give of one's self one must find the balance between what one can afford to live without and what one needs in order to live. One must keep enough of one’s self, so that one may continue to give.
We will be donating all of the bandcamp proceeds to GrowNyc.

lyrics
The Giver
Silent the steps
That follow the path
Unbroken leaves
Beneath each step
Whispers of words
Leaves in the wind
The fallen rain
Collecting within
A clearing of trees
A circle of death
A final wish
Beneath each breath
Lay me down
Close my eyes
Death whispers a lullaby
A touch of skin
A kiss of lips
The final moments of a life once lived
Taste of the flesh
A gift from the dead
Drink of the blood
True love in bled
Cradle the heart
A gift from the chest
Dost still beat
Separate from a breast
Take of one's self
All was to give
An offering for the ones that still live
Lay me down
Close my eyes
Death whispers a lullaby
The touch of a hand
A kiss of lips
The final moments of a life once lived
Take all there is
'Till there's nothing left
Save the soul
From the flesh and bone
They are the giver
I, the sacrifice
Give all there is
'Till there's nothing left
