A song about sifting through your imperfections to find the nuggets of gold inside the soul. There's always something underneath.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Retro-regret, purify my bones, because I'm the sifter
Skeletons present a silky tone, misshapen, mistaken
And I'm not going blind but I can't see you just feel you
Hand over hand I just can't reel through the deep blue...

[Bridge]
If the mind is trouble then slipping, just relax and let it flow
returnin' ebb and flow
If my heart begins double dipping, I will have to let one go,
I'll be holding all the tickets to my show
let some water in, I'll be drinkin' it and then chasing with my sins

[Chorus]
All the sifting makes my blood go
You're diggin for dirt, babe
All the sifting makes my blood go
Where's my shirt, babe?

[Verse 2]
Barricade up against the door, my knockin' persistent
A riddle portrays the ceiling as the floor, my vision resistant,
And I'm wrapped up in twine but I can strangely function
I'm dying in abstract faith, you're frightened, just say when

[Chorus]
