When I see rain on the glass
Headlights come and blind my sight.
It's warm inside,
But there's no time like the present
You said you'd hold true and never let go
You said you'd hold true I heard you say so!
Facing up to reality
Time slows as the moment closes
We all have our crosses to bear
But nothing beats a gun to the head for motivation.
You said you'd hold true and never let go
You said you'd hold true I heard you say so!
...and I'm shaking, breaking inside
Is this what it's like to be alive?
Fear and animosity
Pleasure and pain
I brought this for you.
Reflect and refract
Calm and exact.
Do you see something that I don't?
The sick and the cured.
Stoic and assured.
We all make mistakes.
So bright, so beautiful
Shimmer and radiance.
I see you standing there
Something's not right.
Falter and suffocate
You seem surprised.
There's no more you and I.
You said you'd hold true and never let go
You said you'd hold true I heard you say so!
Is this what it's like to be alive?

Every time I think I’ve uncovered all the hidden gems I find another one, this is fine music. This band has two other more recent releases not available on Bandcamp, also amazing. Kind of a mix of genres with the post rock backbone I enjoy so much, very talented! Deej
