oh let’s seize the night
though no matter how hard i seem to try
time slips just the very same
through an open hand
or a first clenched
so i dance around a tune
as the cosmos will me to
the future’s path is paved
we’re all just watching it all play out
why is enough never enough
to push that little button
in the back of my brain?
time waits in the wings in
between an action and inaction
counting tree rings on a crafted wooden chair
how does one still exist when no one remembers?
looks towards a cold, slouched moon moving tides on a planet face
and sigh
time slips just the very same
i always knew the moths would come and chew their way through the loose ends
sedimentation, the blow’s coming around the bend
static on a screen it whispers to the spores seismically
bury me sound asleep the mounds of moss keep me in good company
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
