Shadows dance into the light
Voices shriek earthly delights
Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you
It’s just a silhouette in the dark
I hear the pulsing beat of my heart
Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you
My breath hangs like clouds in the air
I thought I almost saw you, just there
Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you
Insubstantial, just like you

How did it come to this sorry end?
It started out so well, as friends
We both chose that step too far
Now, with awkward glances, here we are
I never thought it would come to this
You, staring at your shoes, what did we miss?
Me, staring through you, the cruelest of tricks
In the cold, harsh light, the signs were there
In the cold, harsh light, we didn’t care
In the cold, harsh light, we didn’t care
Open your eyes, come and find me
It’s no surprise where you’ll find me
There’s love and there’s pain inside me
Open your eyes, come and find me
In the cold, harsh light, the signs were there
In the cold, harsh light, we didn’t care
Open your eyes, come and find me
It’s no surprise where you’ll find me
There’s love and there’s pain inside me
Open your eyes, come and find me
Open your eyes, come and find me
It’s no surprise where you’ll find me
There’s love and there’s pain inside me
Open your eyes, come and find me

Pretty Please

I said, “quiet, please …”
I then fell to my knees – my heart wide open
Then, I said, “marry me”
Silently, his eyes said you must be joking
I said, “what have I done?”
He said, “you’re not the one … and you never will be.”
I said, “pretty please.”
The pity in his eyes, it almost broke me
Pretty, pretty please
I’ve lost my dignity
Pretty, pretty please
Have you seen my dignity?
Pretty, pretty please
Have you seen my dignity?

Spring Rites

Cruel Optimism

Dreamy indie pop bent with just a bit of dissonance hits all the right notes and all the wrong ones.
