lyrics

The Stillness

Repair, repair, but you still can see the cracks
Say you like it better, but you can’t get better back
Bow your head and ask the sisters what you must
Have you forgotten you were once of flesh and blood?

Well there’s only so much time and wine,
and I’ve taken more than mine and thine
So show me somewhere I can sleep tonight

Well we had it out and spoke in shouts
I’m not the one you would’ve thought
But sometimes in the stillness we’re alright

A life of no crimes save for those that no one minds
Always found it funny how you couldn’t swallow one good line
As I stare out the window, searching how to fly
If I fall 30 feet, it’s just to duck disappointment in your eye

Well you said your piece and shed your grief,
and gave your faith to disbelief
So show me somewhere I can sleep tonight

The candles burn, the hours turn
I know you never could be sure
But sometimes in the stillness we’re alright

In the stillness we’re alright
Don’t trace the faultlines they’ll be there by morning light
In the stillness we’re alright
I can’t help wondering, but I should just be quiet

I can’t help wondering
You can’t help wondering
No, I can’t help wondering
if maybe we just might

Still Life
by Massage

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
