lyrics

Break up/ down
Either way you're losing friends
But you learn to let go of the spreadsheet in the end

Street lit amber, rotting camelia
All rusting away
It's nothing new, it's nothing strange but it's a sorry state-
staying for the ones that stay.

They let it go, bored with your bones.
You won't leave..
Trying to light your effigy, rain pouring down.

Pass through/ out
Either way it just feels wrong
At work/ dawn
Sustained by something gone

Street lit horribly
Pitch dark
You see your face in the glass of the door
Taking in what you see
Making mental notes for how to best dress the effigy

Repeating your sentences
Jaundiced forgivenesses
Rattling round like rain on the back of the flame
I can't swallow it
I just stay slipping away

They let it go, bored with your bones.
You won't leave..
Trying to light your effigy, rain pouring down.

They had enough, bored with the blood.
You won't leave..
Trying to light your effigy, rain pouring down.

This album swells like an ethereal living body of sound. It breathes. It’s straight out of a movie and I’m tearing up on each scene. Love the way they sing ha in ‘Like in a Dream’ and ‘When I See You’. More please. sig
