lyrics

You said with heart beats and small feet that I’d correct the rest
And with rings placed and children made that heart beats they would mend
But your body, it crumbled to dust beneath your feet
And your ashes were burning your body to release

And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
Along with yourself.

Your mind erased all the letters you learned when you were young
And forgot that the lovers would fix that which went wrong
The doctors they told you that you could beat the sounds
But they took you and lay you in the ground

And here I lay ‘neath the covers and dream that I am loved
With your arms wrapped so tightly they pulse my veins with blood
And your heart beats grow deeper as I wake to pounding sounds
Of your daughter she’s sobbing on the ground.

And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
Along with yourself.

You said with heart beats and small feet that I’d correct the rest
And with rings placed and children made that heart beats they would mend
But your body, it crumbled to dust beneath your feet
And your ashes were burning your body to release

And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
And your daughter saw you shot them down
Along with yourself.

Drawing on influences like Laura Veirs and Wye Oak, the music is sometimes subtly dark, but always thoroughly captivating and melodic. ... more
