lyrics
She sighed a smile sadly,
Slid forward to speak
Sun-sinking stomach-aching words to me:
"Twist all your tongues in tandem while the sun is still ink. You've been so quiet, I can't hear myself think."
Late, after it's dark, we'll meet in the park. I just wanna fall in love with someone who I know won't love me back.
But you, you want much more, you're fighting a war and your enemy's the emptiness you swore you'd miss but just went looking for.
Lies lowered like a lantern down into your dark.
I took what I needed from your swollen little heart.
But you took much more than I did. You took some pain.
You took the feeling I'd give my guts to reclaim.
God is a girl, blue eyes and curls and I met her in a drunken haze on State Street after getting off the train.
She bummed me a smoke, I told her a joke that lasted twenty-two years and from her tears I could tell she'd heard this one before.
This is probably another of the best releases in Chicago. Will Wholesome has something really amazing going on. This album is heartbreaking and beautiful. Shiloh
