[arprei]

a new song – Gush of Boasts – we’re still working on it but it turned out to be a crowd favorite

lyrics under the cut ~

nothing could be lovelier than a deer in the headlights turn them off, and let her pass by in the dark my life in the bush of ghosts reconstituted sunlight I woke up and I still don’t know where she came from

your house won’t protect you, there’s no standing water left the scent breaks where the river cuts the ground I am no more sacred than I was when I was four I woke up and I still don’t know where she’s gone to

she never knocked, they never knock she never said goodbye like any wake it smoothes itself, an eye for an eye bat at the bush of ghosts by ear snatch at her echo for a year out nights with a flashlight, so far from your new home out nights with a flashlight, so far from your new home
