lyrics
Here/I lay myself down to my fears
The walls are breaking everything in sight
The mountains cloud all within my gaze
Through passion I have become nothing
Now/I have to find my way somehow
My hope has pushed past my transgressions
And after all the planes are cast from light
I've reached the point past my obsession
The tides/they turn to ash
Nothing ever lasts
This weight will carry through
Now/I have to find my way somehow
My will has pushed past my condition
And through it all, the weariness and plight
I've reached the point past my inhibition
Here/I lay myself down to what's near
The word has broken me and left me dry
The same has caused a wave to take its place
As hope and heartbreak grate to reunite
The tides/they turn to ash
Nothing ever lasts
This weight will carry through
And when this ends at last
Remember what we had
And I'll remember too
As the flies/consume what's left of this life
Don't be afraid/this is something I can't change
It's alright/toughened flesh and broken smiles
For awhile/stained forever by your shine
Into this we will go/No one will ever know
For what we've deemed as right
Into this we will fight/Cliché but ours to write
So let the last page turn
Turn to white
It has such a great aesthetic: "pretty" dark, lush but understated, poppy and straightforward in the best way possible. Probably the best EP of the year by one of the most promising bands out there. Millenials
I've always been a sucker for this kind of lo-fi emo-y stuff and it's a pretty great album. "Ahead of Myself" especially is just insanely catchy, but then most of it is too. Millenials
