The Future We’ve Made is out today!
We slowly chipped away at this one for a very long time so today feels like one nice, long exhale!
We were blessed to have @manomono on drums and @ripsnelly on bass. Getting to play with such amazing people never stops feeling like a gift, and it’s one of the best parts of making music.
Thank you to everyone who heard this live, or heard the early voice memos, and gave us the love and support and encouragement to keep it going.
LYRICS:
In the future we’ve made nobody gets caught
Jumping over turnstiles
Busting off the locks
Never hears an answer
To the signals and calls
Forever races backwards
Like paintings on the cave walls
It’s hard enough to manage
The blind truth from this vantage point
With nothing to distract us
From those ugly empty choices
I remember seeing my smile reflected on the water
All the hope then didn’t matter
It just kept getting hotter
What I’d give to slide down the dunes
What I’d give to be taken in the view
All I need is a lie to cling on to
That someday I’m gonna live on the wind like you
Minutes pass through burning matches
The deadlines that you miss don’t matter
Nobody knows their position
No feeding frenzy, no competition
Each trickle now can feed a city
The sunsets lately keep getting prettier
No one’s got use for money
When the paint drips off the houses like honey
I remember every bloody holiday, each early grave
The only thing that never gets lost are the faces that you cannot shake
What i’d give to slide down the dunes
What I’d give to be taken in the view
All I need is a lie to cling on to
That someday I’m gonna live on the wind like you
The moments that I can’t remember were never really mine
Trying to undo this
Slow, beautiful crime
