turning the volume down
silence the noise
what's all this fret about
when boys will be boys?
can't stand that point of view
boxes and lines
thought we could prove it wrong
with a love beyond its time
found me the steepest hill
i dreamt about its peak
found me a bone to pick
when i thought our bones were clean
i can hear you so loudly
i feel you in my skin
can't you hear my heart shouting
it wants to be let in
i know it scared you baby
why couldn't you just see
how all the lines between us
brought all that fear into our dream?
was it ever our dream
or was it just mine
next to yours?
you said a lot of things
boys often say
why i believed in them
is my own debt to pay
our lips speak different colors
our bones the same
what's all this bleeding for
if our bones couldn't break?
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
