lyrics

The sun retreated and I woke up in the west
I changed the sheets alone in a place that's not my home
Everyone's left and I just needed rest

I damned myself for the loss of progress
And compared myself against the grain
I found that things weren't the same

I could tell by sounds they made
Four months until port
Two-thousand miles from where I grew
The friendships I abandoned
And the light I once threw

It's rough like the sandpaper grain of my face
The odd spring inside this thing they'd replaced
Back and forth for the better part of a decade

Dreams of Oregon to keep me warm in the absence of old friends

Vision
by Pet Symmetry

This is an incredible follow-up to "Pets Hounds". Everything great about this band--their short, tight songwriting, catchy hooks, and musical variety--is greatly amplified here. Mirror Lake

Keep You (Deluxe Edition)
by Pianos Become The Teeth

"Keep You" is as heartbreaking as it is well-written. I genuinely love this album and enjoy it from start to finish. Can't wait to see what they follow this up with! Mirror Lake
