lyrics

Some people never change,
but, I'm afraid,
such people can only be found
buried in caskets underground.

We don't call anymore.
Swept it under the rug
and out the door.

I regret nothing,
cause there is love, I swear it.

I navigate this borderline,
wondering if after you'd be mine.
And, in the occurrence of that,
I would be satisfied, and nullified.

Lost in the grey.
That shape stands in my doorway again.

(You're a person - you're not a machine.
Machines just do the same thing over,
and over, and over again.
When you're a person, you can grow,
and change, and feel.)

I regret everything.
There is love I swear it.

There is love I swear it.
There is love.
(All these days.)
There is love.

The grizzly bears in the far-above footage
on the nature documentary look tiny against
the vast sheet of snow.
Outside, the sky is grey, but the trees are green,
and the wind sighs in acceptance of this; this
melancholia, this ache.
How I long to feel that summer I felt as a child,
that ease of living.
To hold his warm hand, just as I did so few days ago.

There is love, I swear it, even when it feels like this.

(Ethan: *laughter*
Timothy: What
Ethan: Nothing.
Timothy: You alright?
Ethan: Yeah - yeah I'm fine. We'll restart that, cause...
Timothy: Okay.)

Charcoal
by Brambles

One of the loveliest ambient albums we've ever heard. The combination of gentle acoustic instrumentation, electronics, and nature samples is incredible. Rosehall

Monastery
by Prizes Roses Rosa

Easily the most experimental output from the incredible Melbourne songwriter/producer/performer yet, but it's still incredibly moving and fun to listen to. Also, there's a Viper cover. Rosehall
