Lyrics
(A cappella)
He stands in the low light, 1:12 on the stove,
Melting down sugar for a love he can't hold.
(Music enters)
The recipe's in his muscle, a steady blue flame,
Just reducing the sweetness 'til it whispers her name.
[Chorus]
This is high heat, this is the bitter part,
This is stirring the anger to not break a heart.
Yeah, this love is a slow burn, turning dark at the edge,
It's the taste of the silence that sits on his breath.
[Verse 2]
The freight train from Kirk Yard rattles the glass in the frame,
A picture of Maya, looking just the same.
He remembers her voice, a quiet echo from fall,
"You just salt everything, Bill, you give it your all."
[Chorus]
This is high heat, this is the bitter part,
This is stirring the anger to not break a heart.
Yeah, this love is a slow burn, turning dark at the edge,
It's the taste of the silence that sits on his breath.
[Bridge]
And it bubbles and spits, one degree from a fire,
This whole damn kitchen's a crucible built on desire.
[Chorus]
This is high heat, this is the bitter part,
This is stirring the anger to not break a heart.
Yeah, this love is a slow burn, turning dark at the edge,
It's the taste of the silence that sits on his breath.
[Outro]
It's almost ready.
Almost right.

He had Maya when he was 18, and his minimalist soul music is a plainspoken chronicle of a decade spent…
