lyrics

My sheets carry your scent
A lingering thought I can't quit
You could wear just cheap perfume
I'd still wallow in the shit

My fingertips
Laced with calluses
But I'll touch you til you fold yourself
And slide yourself gently into my heart

Pick up the latter and follow me home
I've got a bed and a body for the warmth
I've got a head and I've got hands for this storm
Be my thunder, I am

Like a pocket watch you hold time
but without you I am blind
A sun dial spoke lies through shadow
And I wasted 2 years on this

I've got a twisted throat
From screaming matches with walls
I've got bruises on my hands
From stopping myself from these harder falls

Pick up the latter and follow me home
I've got a bed and a body for warmth
I've got a head and I've got hands for this storm
Be my thunder, I am

I pressed my body into concrete
Speak of imprints, this will never leave.
This will never leave me

Pick up the latter and follow me home
I've got a bed and a body for warmth
I've got a head and I've got hands for this storm
Be my thunder, I am the Earthquake

Adding the quick-handed, pulsing, and pounding drum beats to the soaring and sometimes cutting leads to the filling and grooving bass, you can feel yourself sink into a sonic landscape coated in whole-hearted vocals. ... more
