about

Unmastered track from the upcoming album Ourselves in Public.

lyrics

The sudden downpour drove the streets into panic
A layer of fabric from the ones who can't stand it
But I think I can stand it and I've got a change of clothes
So me and the sky will share a secret the cautious will never know

Out in the mountainside we reach for the clouds
And the ghosts from the ancient times all hang around
They try to bum cigarettes from the tourists
But it seems like everyones sorry, and they only have a few more left

I want to be liked, but that doesn't outweigh how I want to be right
And I guess it's a shame
Wanting to be right always feels like the wrong way to live
When the evidence points to a truth that has got some give

You're far from the city now
Drinking and driving with two kids in the backseat
Living your lie too
Well, I hope that it's airtight, I hope that it fills your lungs
And I hope that it carries you on when the water comes...
