a rough start to new experiments, a return to old friends, and a hard death to old habits.
lyrics
untapped potential behind the walls of your bedroom
and the hall stretches on and on
blue circles spinning round the dark, spin across dead bodies in the park
and we spin on and on
overly sentimental, because to not be would be mental
so the train goes on and on
we'll buhl like we used to, because it's not what we're used to
so the night stretches on and on
in revisiting, we find some vices aren't worth keeping
places to be, people to see, and you'd rather be sleeping?
when you're retrograde, who do you think you'll save?
cause it's not yourself
we'll crawl into the briar patch, we'll run into the woods
we'll say we've got a flight to catch and see it does no good
we'll leave ourselves on thorny trails, the flame will sting our wounds
asleep upon a bed of nails and we woke up too soon
i pray this stays between us now, you pray nobody knows
we try to run but don't know how, the world around us glows
and no one has to say a word
a.s.

The latest from sean thornton explores dark themes, but they’re handled with a delicate grace in these beautiful bedroom pop songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2022
