lyrics
Oh when you come down for me, don't tread too lightly
Oh when you come down for me, I'll be ready
At the wake of every shower I drop roses on the grave
And at the wake of every rose, I drop a tear its soul to save
I can't be sure if I'll fare well when he comes knocking
I can't be sure where I will be or who'll be watching
But at the wake of every year, I shed a tear just to be safe
Oh when you come down for me, don't tread too lightly
Oh when you come down for me, I'll be ready
As they fall to meet their shadows, withered bodies cling no more
As dry as bone, and there is nothing left but him down in their core
And if I lay down beside them I would be no different
And if I crunched them beneath my feet, they would not even flinch
But I don't dare disturb the peace of what was once but is no more
Oh when you come down for me, don't tread too lightly
Oh when you come down for me, I'll be ready
And so it is, we think our lives away, we're none the wiser still
We'll never know the nature of this beast, this fear we cannot kill
I can't be sure if I'll fare well when he comes creeping
Under my skin, no part of me he won't be keeping
But at the wake of everything, there is a hole I long to fill

Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
