Recorded by Jay Alton

lyrics

We could choose to drown ourselves in the flood
We could take a bath in each other's blood
If time allowed, we'd be together forever
I just don't think we'll see it happen

All I want you to say
Is that this will get better for us
Just say that it will
All I need you to know
Is that this won't be easy for me
Until you say that it will

I'll tear down the walls that surround your heart
I'll keep you safe from the ghosts haunting your halls
Inside a house of night we could invent the morning
I just don't think we'll see it happen

All I want you to say
Is that this will get better for us
Just say that it will
All I need you to know
Is that this won't be easy for me
Until you say that it will

You remain a mystery
But I want you only
Sure you are free to disagree
But I want you
I want you

All I want you to say
Is that this will get better for us
Just say that it will
All I need you to know
Is that this won't be easy for me
Until you say that it will

As was true for many musicians, the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the band’s momentum, and they chose to focus on writing and recording new music. The result is Heirlooms, the band’s first album of original music since 2019’s It Moves in the Dark. ... more
