Lyrics

Bitter Leaf

I'm kicking down your love Faded like a light gone old Hanging there in empty space Out there in the hazy fog I'm not saying it's your fault But you hid it under blankets Oh baby let me go Release me from your handle, I never wanna know You used to shine so bright but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore Hanging loose from the wall Strips and flakes of paint I'm tearing down your love And all the last remains I can feel the roof crash down But maybe I'm dreaming Lying on a redwood floor Eyes fixed on the ceiling, I never leave it on You used to shine so bright, but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright, but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright, but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright, but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore You used to shine so bright, but you Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf Took it all out on me but I see Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore

Holla

Add it to the pile, it’s a staple now Still the coins in the jar get put back somehow Maybe it’s better to find you’re running out Then at least it’s placed beyond all doubt But our love is what you wanna be There’s hope as long as long as you believe Climb up, the branch is breaking free Reach forward holler out to me It’s a thought that spares your feelings low A confusion that fills it up the most Try and build it back up from the ground or go Cause the space in the middle is devoid of growth But our love is what you wanna be There’s hope as long as you believe Climb up, the branch is breaking free Reach forward, holler out to me Reach forward holler out to me Reach forward holler out to me You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone Reach forward holler out to me Reach forward holler out to me Reach forward holler out to me Reach forward holler out to me

April

Have you ever felt it? When you broke a loved one? She only cried a whisper But in my ears it thundered Summer doesn't ring true, you wanted to be Starting over brand new, but you fall Summer doesn't ring true, with this cold chill clinging to me Can we start anew? I'm a sum of broken parts Let me reassemble yours Stay with me till you're no longer Burdened by a broken heart Summer doesn't ring true, you wanted to be Starting over brand new, but you fall Summer doesn't ring true, with this cold chill clinging to me Can we start anew?

Golden Age

Come in my love I'm thinking of A song that beckons near Across a lake A hollow space Seeks refuge in my ear You're better than a golden age Swimming in a body of fire Spinning it around it my mind I could only ask you why You're better than a golden age Swimming in a body of fire Spinning it around in my mind I'm not here to say good bye You're better than a golden age Upon a screen Project my dreams I'd rather wake to you You're better than a golden age Swimming in a body of fire Spinning it around it my mind I could only ask you why You're better than a golden age Swimming in a body of fire Spinning it around in my mind I'm not here to say good bye You're better than a golden age You're better than a You're better than a You're better than a golden age You're better than a You're better than a golden age Don't shut me down When I'm calling out Don't shut me down When I'm calling out Don't shut me out We're crawling now Don't shut me down Pull me out

Sometimes

I feel the icy wind is calling to me And I confide in her my deepest darkest secrets I feel the guilt but you’re conflicted You need your medicine but you won’t drink it Sometimes it’s not alright Sometimes you gotta fight Sometimes you gotta try Sometimes you start a riot I drive my car into a lake I looked it up and down but it assured me it was quite ok Why do your words have such a sinking feeling? I’ve shouldered too much of the blame but you have got me thinking Sometimes it’s not alright Sometimes you gotta fight Sometimes you gotta try Sometimes you start a riot Things have gone wrong before How did you stomach it then? So it seems you showed me the door But I think you’ll see this again Sometimes it’s not alright Sometimes you gotta fight Sometimes it keeps you up at night Sometimes you start a riot

Kyneton

Sleeping, world that’s not yet woken, we drive through a fog a blanket for our love the wheels they’re driving on, roads that shelter us. Speaking, Voices not yet woken, Hushed tones soothe my soul, Watch us growing old, When we like cards will fold.
