lyrics

The birds don't sing so easily // a subtle stealing of the night begins // with city lights turned on too bright until there's no surprise in sun rise // but you can always hear them sing // you catch the sound, you write it down // at 75 you're looking like your heart got wise
So when we're bursting at the seams // when all our thoughts are cracked like skin on playground leaves // we'll be alright, yeah we'll be just fine when it's said that's where the light gets in
It's not the storm to break us // it's not the way that this will end // we'll fill the cracks, say it's not the wind that's beating wings
So I was always gonna win // at night we saved the life of fish that couldn't swim // so I'll be alright, yeah I'll be just fine // cause I lay down when my fins get tired // so be that compass here with me // no way of getting lost that I can see // one day I might like to try like her I'll find desire in fault line
It's not the storm to break us // it's not the way that this will end // we'll fill the cracks, say it's not the wind that's beating wings

I especially like the wonderfully creaky vocals which are in a high register that reminds me of Teleman, Goodbooks and Stornoway in this alt-folk infused indiepop. Art Fin
