lyrics

Picture you,
Pre-violence
Force yourself to remember it

2002
Snow shovel
Resting on your shoulder

Picture you
Ice splinters
Fractals on the water

Calling you,
“Come nearer”
Force yourself, force your way in

You’re not the first to look this way
Close your eyes while the world immerses you
With so much to see, not much to say
Having witnessed, do you still want the truth?
I’d give it to you,
but I don’t have an answer for you.

I didn’t move
I didn’t panic
Smooth like a stone in my hand

Like the moment
The music ends
We fade back into silence

Every disappointment you’ve ever known
Every shot you just couldn’t leave alone
Every single moment, made it your own
Taking shots of gold

You’re not the first to look this way
Close your eyes while the world immerses you
With so much to see, not much to say
Having witnessed, do you still want the truth?
I’d give it to you,
but I don’t have a reason
I don’t have a cushion
I don’t have an answer for you

I don’t think that I could leave it alone
Every hint of progress ever shown
Every disappointment you’ve ever known
Taking shots of gold

I don’t have a reason
I don’t have a cushion
I don’t have an answer for you

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley

A very unique addition to the PUP discography that brings a multitude of new sounds compared to previous works, not bad by any means, just a little different. Go see them live, chaotic. Shmoob
