After shooting a number of songs to submit to the Tiny Desk Contest and not feeling completely stoked about any of them I decided to write a song especially for tiny desk at the very last minute --- so this is pretty much an improv--- I tend to jump into swimming holes not knowing if there are sharp things below the water!!

7 from Heaven
written by Robb Donker Curtius

Are you 7 from heaven
your walls are translucent
eyes gleamed like jewels
touching my favorite scars
kisses like dressing faltering

Are you the bottom of the pool
school of fishes covered your body
of lies and intentions to few to mention
to many

I wanted more
I needed warmth
inside... inside

are you the one who will save me
just like an angel in blue jeans
killing the TV painting on walls
waxing obscure obscene in charcoal

are you the hand to hold
the bottle to empty
pink rusty pennies
that looked like stars in the sky
in the sky

I wanted more
I wanted warmth
inside you

are you 7 from heaven
your walls were translucent
your eyes gleamed like jewels
touching my favorite scars
kisses like dressing
faltering glimpses
faltering glimpses

I wanted more
I wanted more
I wanted warmth
inside you
