lyrics

We spent all the summer
And rolled it away in the sun
And you loved the flowers
Whose petals were so quick to fall
The north had pulled us like iron
Like birds when the winds change
And stars have all become memories
Of darkness and pain
The nights are beginning to linger
Each one painted with clear constellations
And i canʼt help but feel defeated
I want to say this will be different
But our eyes werenʼt made for this
Our feet canʼt walk on the snow
These hands are useless
Weʼll just wait for the wolves
I found your skin
By the side of the trail
I see your ghost
So lovely and pale
And I know that youʼre not happy here
And it wasnʼt so cold this time last year
I know itʼs not the dark you fear
Itʼs what hides behind this dark veneer
And I know that youʼre not happy here
And it wasnʼt so cold this time last year
I know itʼs not the dark you fear
Itʼs what hides behind this dark veneer
And I know that youʼre not happy here
And it wasnʼt so cold this time last year
I know itʼs not the dark you fear
Itʼs what hides behind this dark veneer

Their music is rooted in the fraught and introspective narratives woven into Ian’s lyrics and melodies, with each song colored by varying soundscapes of violins, viola, cello, harp, piano, harmoniums, and organ, which are all composed, performed, and recorded by Katie. ... more
