I stand here in the foyer
And look out to the courtyard.
I wonder what will happen
When my body burns to ashes.
You hold on to my arm
As we feel the heat rise.
There's no one here but you and me.
I've never seen the sun rise.
"Let's go outside" she says
"Don't let me go" she says
We all have to die some time.
See the sunrise.
Sit down and relax
We never thought it would be easy.
I never thought i'd find someone like you.
I never dreamed of being one of two.
I never wished for something more
But you found me.
Forsaken, you and I.
Alone here, left to die.
You hold on to my arm
As we feel the heat rise
And we reach up to the sky.
Reach up to the sky.
We sit here on the park bench
As we look out through the maelstrom.
We hold each others hand
As our bodies burn to ashes.

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
