lyrics

Getting close.
Hold the doors for me.
Let me slip into them one more time.
Because I've got this feeling
That my chances are running low.

If I fall
Will you come for me?
Leave the comfort of the fire place?
Because I've got this feeling
I can't stand on these paper legs.

Turn me, turn me, turn me, turn me 'round.
Deep in, deep in, deep into the ground.

There's a longing that I hide
Watching fading distant light
Through a window in a door
That won't open anymore.

So let me hear that sound.
The thunder from the other side.
A life we lived out loud.
The mountains we would try to climb.
Take my aching hands.
I've taken all I can.
Just let me hear that sound again.

Something lurks
Just behind you.
I see the shadows as they undulate.
And I've got this feeling
My belief was a big mistake.

It spins me, spins me, spins me, spins me 'round
Deep in, deep in, deep into the ground.

And your face is looking strange.
Seem I haven't seen it change.
In silent stops along the way
We let the stations fade away.

So let me hear that sound.
The thunder from the other side.
A life we lived out loud.
The mountains we would try to climb.
Take my shaking hands.
I've taken all I can.
Just let me hear that sound again.

Anak Ko
by Jay Som

It keeps you guessing in the best way. From the windows down pop of Superbike to the smoothed out 80's soul of Devotion, Anak Ko keeps me coming back, always discovering something new. Silvergirl

Lifted, Into The Depths
by Joshua Wentz

A mix of thought provoking interrogations on the end of everything creating something new, interwoven between angular instrumentals, LITD provides the listener a soundtrack for our teetering times. Silvergirl
