lyrics

That I might start anew
Far from the thump
That I might start anew

That I might start anew
Far from you
That I might start anew

Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine
Oh darling don't you never say just what you mean

Cause I've spared no chance to find you
On a leaving road
That runs like blood
These veins that flood
With every ballad never sung
And every distant hum
Every distant hum

That I might start anew
Far from you
That I might start anew

That I might start anew
Far from you
That I might start anew

Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine
Oh darling don't you never say just what you mean

Arms' marrow rushing to the window
On the sun like a pulsebeat
Our furrow seeded with the accidental promise
Of a good dream
What might have been

That I might start anew
Far from the thump
That I might start anew

Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine

I rhymed to see myself in you
I leaned too hard on mercy too
But all this is too close at night
I flail at your distant light

That I might start anew
Far from the thump
That I might start anew

That I might start anew
Far from you
That I might start anew

Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine

A few years later, they ended up in Missoula at the same time, wrote and recorded an album, and pulled the band name from the side of a feed store. Some twists and turns later, they made a second album in Connecticut. ... more
