Concrete – it’s where I want my feet to stay
Strong walls – maybe better off that way
This brain has been doing flips and shit
And this heart – I can’t put a finger on it
And it goes up down up down up down everyday
And it goes up down up down up down everyday
But then the concrete cracks
And then there’s no looking back
But then the concrete cracks a little more
Look down under the cracks – a new floor
This brain is getting punched and pulled and pinched
But it learns what it couldn’t learn without all this
And this heart is getting wrung out more and more these days
But it feels a joy it could only feel this way

Join Alchemical Records as they connect with Witch Weather to discuss the band’s new self-titled album, their search for a sense of belonging as members of the queer community, the important element that keeps the duo’s creative bond strong, and the influence of the DMV on their sound.
