lyrics

It takes faith to believe, in the land of the free.
If the underdog fails,
we’ve swallowed the whale, until we repent
of our ambitions ways.

Fresh face on the scene,
so hopeful and keen,
that things would work out,
I’ve got my doubts, all of our eggs
in the basket of fate.

Does the wolf howl in the night,
because he’s sad, or just cause he can.
Does he sing, sing of himself, or reach out to some distant land.
Have we lost our way, at the edge of the world’s farthest shore.

Follow my lead, abandon your dreams,
and make yourself free
from all of the greed and fame
of having your name at the top.

We all heard the news,
of God’s funeral blues,
If the divine passed away,
what hope can stay, and who will remember the works of our hands.

So we’ll sing of our lives, so gritty, unkind,
All hail the bleak, nothing to seek,
but to reflect on our vacuous lives.

Did you sell your soul,
they’ll resent you you know,
and you’ll find yourself drinking alone.
Let us know how it goes,
I’ve been there you know.

What an amazing little album. It's alt folk and it's also emo. It's got an admirable delicateness and an attention for detail, and god is every single song on this record catchy and atmospheric. Strong love Leerkat
