lyrics
it smells like summer is over
and the autumn is falling in
my window's open
something cold is blowing in
and i am so goddamn tired
streetlights shine like fire flies aflight
marching with the wind
the road rolls over the bones of my kin
what the hell happened to them?
we float below the amber glow of
phantom limbs akimbo in the
acts of ever after riven
no one speaks cos no one listens
but i hear you wallowing
clutch regret like a letter unsent
the ticking pounds ears with weight
they cannot take
summer stars fall on the autumn sky
cut through the night
hand in hand
run to the setting sun
outshine the dawn
aftermath
aft collapse
she's going down
aftertaste
need escape
let's take this town and drown it out
and the autumn is falling in
my window's open
something cold is blowing in
and i am so goddamn tired
streetlights shine like fire flies aflight
marching with the wind
the road rolls over the bones of my kin
what the hell happened to them?
we float below the amber glow of
phantom limbs akimbo in the
acts of ever after riven
no one speaks cos no one listens
but i hear you wallowing
clutch regret like a letter unsent
the ticking pounds ears with weight
they cannot take
summer stars fall on the autumn sky
cut through the night
hand in hand
run to the setting sun
outshine the dawn
aftermath
aft collapse
she's going down
aftertaste
need escape
let's take this town and drown it out

"keep it in the dark" feels like summer storm music: it swirls and comes in torrents but it cools your skin with burst of calm. i don't know how they balance the dichotomy so easily, but they do. the pitterpatter of accidentals in "fools"'s guitar line, the gentle unison vocals of "we collide", the churning sea of "see what happens"- it all melds into something as rousing as it is calming.
