lyrics

So you’re depressed
When there’s no bridges left
Cause you’ve burned them to the ground

And I’m awake
Wondering what’s in those pills you take
Can’t we just flush them all down?

The edge is bound to break
When you hang in a slippery place
I’ve heard so many times before
When will it stick?

But I’m still holding on

A lost cause?
I don’t think it always was
But you’ve left so many scars

I’m shut in
I should be learning to forgive
But old habits die hard

But I’m still holding on
But only for so long

I’m still awake
I’m a seed about to break
Is there more I could’ve done?

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
