lyrics

I’ve been building up my tendency to stop breathing
I’ve been making up my mind to sleep in mud
I’ve been slowing my final astrocaryum
And waiting for that first aspen
I’m waiting for that first aspen
I’m waiting for that first aspen to bud

Tuck in my legs
And I’ll freeze up my heart

Kick start my heart yeah it’s way too hot for me to keep sleeping
Yeah my first steps aren’t graceful and my jump ends with a thud
The vines they are sprouting the snow I am doubting the peepers are peeping

You can’t kill me just with cold
You can’t keep this rana slow
Come on winter a hint here
I was born with antifreeze in my blood

A new spring has come
Though my body’s still a little numb

Cuz it’s the little things that matter
Like coming back to life
It’s those small moments that you notice
And must remember during strife

You can find hundreds every week
Just keep it down for tiny miracles

you can hear them hear them hear

if you just let them speak

Safer Off
by Lilith

Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
