lyrics

I was born with teeth
with an appetite for grief
I wasn’t saved by my belief

I was born a thief
with eyes for such pretty things
but i heard the bells,
the birds & bees

please don’t go away
all I know
here comes a new day
please don't go
stay right by my side
let's not fight
lay right by my side
just tonight

I am a skeleton
I’m only wearing this skin
I let the ghost out in the shower

won't you come with me
for a 3am swim
I need some Holy chlorine water

can't we just lay in silence
let the crickets sing along
restless and rootless
but all is not lost

can I still be the pillow
for your weary head
I took off your necklace
now we’re making the bed

can i still
keep you by my side
keep you by my
keep you by my side

This was a band I used to be in as drummer. We has so many good times and we wanted to sound like Spoon meets Plus/Minus. I'm really proud of this EP and you can have it for free if you want it. Mountains & Valleys
