lyrics

Snow falls hard on the old 15 North
I'm not sure I'm gonna make my flight
With the heater on, I can't help but open up
While our vision whitens out
Concern is raised, trouble may be in store for me
But I'm defending the pain willfully
In due time, I'm coming home to what I thought
Would be a safe and welcome life

For what I feared would be behind that yellow drawer
Pieces of forgotten hopes reside
Along with notes and wires hidden from plain site,
A flower in a plastic box resides
I picked it up, observed it for what I thought was
Every second happening at once
I threw away mementos of old progress
But the flower, in that drawer, will rest

I've been told that it will snow by five AM
So don't let me fall asleep tonight
"I'll get you home, if even in a dark backseat"
But don't you know: there is no home for me?
I sit and think, while Francis drives me off to sleep:
"Where is this highway taking me?"
For the first time in this beautifully awful life
I remembered that I am alive

The Whole Thing Is Just There
by Young Jesus

Using indie rock to both destroy indie rock and create something new. I want every future set of theirs to just be "Gulf" for 30 minutes. La Bonte

The best record from the best band from LA that no one will probably get to see ever again La Bonte

The Moon is Down

One of my longest friends making peaceful sounds from another time for now. The title track is one of the best songs I heard in 2018. La Bonte
