lyrics

would i lay down my life to the ground, the hunger or the knife
i don't know
but the truth can guide me home
it's shimmering
shimmering on
so try and tell me that right is wrong
try and tell me that dusk is dawn
say it all
i'll be on the bleachers i'll be just
laughing along
fill your fists with fossils, folks
exhume the dead
and swallow smoke - drink on,
it's a limited liquor and lust is still there
lingering
lingering on
and you preach pride
you preach pride
and you tell me i'm crazy when i call out your lies
tell me all my evidence is conspiracy
grounded in ambition for your demise
turn in, turn in
your love was
so sheltering
but tell me can you hold my gaze
tell me if this work still pays
if you turn in, turn in
words can be so threatening
and i'd best them baby only if i must
but i'd rather watch it all collect dust

Knowledge of what makes a great indie/alt-rock song tick? Check. Sharp lyrics that run from angry to tender? Check. Fabulously enjoyable? And then some. This debut proves SF arrived fully formed and Turtle Taxi built on that. Two absolute gems. Given the time that's passed, I sincerely hope they're not done, but if so, my undying gratitude. It'slove
