Lyrics
A lot of things were born and died
In that time
There’s ten whitetail deer
coming up the drive
and mothers are just daughters
buried by time
There’s a crossbow on the wall
Scared me since I was small
Cicadas do their rattle dance
All night long
Memories closing ‘round my neck
Slow but strong
And lightning strikes the hour glass
I’m holding on
[CHORUS]
There’s a crossbow on the wall
Scared me since I was small
And you don’t know shit about it
You don’t know shit about it
Aviary echoes a solemn song
Finches, wrens and turtle doves all have gone
Now just sits a golden cage
Covered by dust
[CHORUS]

Written as a cathartic release, Honeysuckle's latest single, "Phoenix," is a rumination on the impossible to capture, fluid trials of grief. An attempt to capture a small part of the enormity of loss in the little moments, like reaching for the phone, only to remember that there's no longer someone on the other end. An incantation, a reminder, a spark in what can seem like never ending darkness.
