lyrics

You're so thin I can see through
Your skin to the old you
And though you try to roll down your sleeves
You can't hide a thing from me

Because I see you as a child
Playing in the leaves
But as you've grown through winter cold
You're like a barren tree

(You won't even look)
I'll admit I am afraid
(Me in my eyes)
To call a spade a spade
(So how can you know)
But if I stay so cavalier
(What's inside)
My love for you might disappear

You spend your days
Thinking of what you complicate
And no matter what I say
You just try to run away
Oh but goddammit just open your eyes
I'm tired of hearing you want to die
Well I've been there before
And I know that disguise
But if you saw yourself as I do
You'd be surprised

The result is Heirlooms, the band’s first album of original music since 2019’s It Moves in the Dark. ... more
