T H O R N S & H O N E Y - EP coming Fall 2018.

lyrics

V1: Can you taste the iron on their skin//
They have bled and hardened, cold and saltwater their only friends//
& Their heaviness is beautiful, but your arms weren't made to be winches//

Sunlight is only so strong//
The rope is only so long//
& The water is so, so deep.

CHRS: Stop tying yourself to anchors//
You wonder why you can't breathe, and you're drowning in anger//
Stop tying yourself to anchors//
This love you found will drag you down, it's in your nature//
& Your heart's a home for each sad stranger//
But you gotta stop falling in love with anchors.

V2: Don't forget that you're a child of things that grow//
You can't plant your roots in the salt, boy//
You can't drink the ocean//
You're sailing on corpses//
Chasing the ghosts of the deep with their lonely lures.

It's not love, no, it's not love//
To drown for the glow//
& Pretend you don't see teeth.

BRIDGE: If your sorrows were seeds//
You could build an armada with the trees you've planted & grown//
But you'd jump from the ship and drown in your fears//
You're afraid of being alone.
