lyrics

We’re gathered on the mountain’s pass, a one lane road. Frank’s banged up but he’ll still roll. We’re lucky to be alive though I’m not sure I see it yet. I’m more focused on the rising and the falling of your breath. You know I’m counting on you to be the one who guides me through the night/ if everything goes dark again/ and I can’t find the light. To keep my shit together means I can’t do this alone. Don’t ask me to follow somewhere I can’t go. We’re all the way, way up! and it only takes a moment to come down. Peering through the grate to the forest floor below, it’d be one quick drop then no more rock and roll. It happened so fast! There was a scream and then a flash. Now we’re gathered on the mountain’s pass, a one lane road. You know I’m counting you to be the one who guides me through the night/ if everything goes dark again and I can’t find the light. To keep my shit together means I can’t do this alone. Don’t ask me to follow somewhere I can’t go. We’re all the way, way up. And it only takes a moment to come down. To come down. (Some day this’ll fade, the quiet of the moment grown soft as a pale yellow moon. But right now I’m in it, hanging on as every minute blurs by. Oh, the world! I’ve never seen it look so vivid. Right now I’m—)

absolutely beautiful, crossing the lines between midwest emo and math rock with killer riffs alongside complex drumming patterns really gets me going, not to mention the most relatable lyrics from uncomfortable anxiousness to uncontrollable desire for love and prosperity, love this so effing hella neonicotine
