lyrics
Seeking meaning in pleasure
Spinning in empty endeavors
Days they flow into each other
Wondering what it's all for
Time turning in your mind
Circling in rewind
Searching for the reasons why
I will stay with you here my love
Deepening doubts in the moment
Hold us in gentle torment
Steady sights in the distance
Future now silent in our eyes
Time turning in your mind
Circling in rewind
Searching for the reasons why
I will stay with you here my love
Please know you’re not alone
In my heart’s your home
Please know you’re not alone
All the world is blind
They see nothing in your eyes
But I can feel my kind
Time turning in your mind
Circling in rewind
Until your tears run dry
I will wait with you

I am so excited to have discovered this band. Their songs are the epitome of shoegaze to me. The vocals are subtle and mesmerizing, and the music is melodic but hazy. I can't wait to hear more from this group. SnorriSputnik
