We went into the city, we had us a time.
We walked hand in hand, under neon city lights.
Fell asleep entangled, your head resting on my chest.
I lay awake and wonder, when he’s coming to collect:
We’re sitting at the dinner table, all our family and friends,
A dream of joy and laughter, the kind you wish would never end,
When I look into all their eyes and think on the time we’ve spent
That’s when I hear the knock of the uninvited guest.
The whole room goes silent, stranger at the door.
He’s dressed in black for violence, someone I’ve never seen before.
He points his finger at each one of us, “please come forward single file.”
“I’ll get to every one of you, it’s just going to take a while.”
Wake up and drink a glass of water, look out the window into the night.
I get a feeling something’s out there, just beyond the edge of the tree line.
Lock the front and then the backdoor, climb back into bed.
Don’t know who I think I’m fooling, one day I know it’s getting in.
But does it happen all a sudden? Phone call in the night?
Do you get to see it coming? Do you get to say goodbye?
Well, when I’m thinking on it, I don’t know which would be worse,
I just hope that when comes, he doesn’t take you from us first.
Dreamy guitars over stark meditations on what it means to be a living thing. All done with a sultry, dream pop aesthetic that envelops you and anyone you think is special enough to share it with. Sebastian Dangerfield
This is an amazing album that definitely shows some big time growth artistically from his previous two. He is a very heart on the sleeve lyricist who you can’t help but be pulled into the emotional complexities of his songs. One of my favorite songwriters right now. Sad songs are real songs and I can’t get enough. Yimmy Kil
