lyrics

You dance in glowing lights; the fever grows.
I'm shackled in the only chains that I've ever loved.
In here, the warmth in your misery blows and sweeps me up.
Catherine my eyes turn black; my heart to stone.

Oh, what's that dying in the garden?
And what's that growing in its place?
What's that digging at the surface?
Is it calling out my name?

Entertain my will and cross out my pride.
Replace all of my mistakes with warning signs.
And in my final hours you'll be my prize.
Catherine you're shimmering gold; I'm stuck in white.

Oh, what's that dying in the garden?
And what's that growing in its place?
What's that digging at the surface?
Is it calling out my name?
(Everyone says to walk that way; married to the thought, you'll do that anyway.)

To hold fire; to hold fire; I'm waiting for it.
They're too tired, too tired to give it up.
To hold fire; to hold fire; I'm waiting for it.
They're too tired, too tired to give it up.

Oh, what's that dying in the garden?
And what's that growing in its place?
What's that digging at the surface?
Is it calling out my name?
(Everyone says to walk that way; married to the thought, you'll do that anyway.)

And we were saying there's auburn, there's auburn in the everlast now.

Luna & the Wild Blue Everything

All of the tracks are beautiful. Mat Kerekes always outdoes himself and this has been making rounds on my playlists for quite some time now. It's music spoken to the heart from the heart. luna_m

I've been listening to this album since it came out and it is still as good as it was the first time I listened to it. Some of the songs just hit hard and are heavily relatable. It's really hard to even find music like that now. This music just has a very special place in my heart. Almost so good I don't want to share it but that'll just be selfish. Even though gatekeeping is such a big deal now some things are just better to share rather than just keeping it hidden. Anyway, thank you. alejandrodpr
