lyrics

Was a bluejay on the porch of the house I would sleep in, and she sang me songs so sweet. Now I’ve grown and the bird has flown years ago, so I stay awake and pray one day she’ll sing and mend my everything. I said, “Please just come home cuz I wanna feel whole again, now.I’ll never say a word, I want you to stay who I found in my head.” I gave her four walls for her to live in, so that I could protect her from all that exists and I could hear her as she was singing, but everyday it grew softer til I heard her whisper, “This is my only forever, and all I can taste is my life. I was not meant to die here, when all that I dream is outside.” I said, “Please just come home cuz I wanna feel whole again, now. I’ll never say a word, I want you to stay who I found in my head.” I am a coward I know I should know that by now, but I’m scared to let go, scared you kept me afloat and I’ll drown. Codepend. That bird has flown, I knew it would. If you couldn’t have her then nobody would. That bird has flown, as well it should. If you couldn’t have her then nobody would.

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
