about
Written while dwelling on the darkness inherent in the teen romance Twilight (and inherently in the vampire stories it was based on, and the horrors of sleeping, waking, loving, desiring, monstrosity, transformation), we added a little background church organ and Latin.
We timed the release for the release fate of Stephanie Meyer's Midnight Sun because why not?
I reckon you'll like it if you've ever listened to Taylor Swift and wished she was a little more Kate Bush.
lyrics
I woke up, still tired
Something's gone wrong inside my head
I dreamed you were a monster
And that I would wind up dead
You said, "Forever"
And I agree
But what's forever when you're only seventeen?
It's got so I can't feel my hands
I said, "I love you"
You said, "I don't understand"
So take my soul I give it freely, freely,
And take my heart it's only beating, beating,
All that's mine's my mind
And that's left for me
So don't pretend I don't know how I feel
I woke up
Still dreaming of the world within your arms
Of changes within me
Thoughts and thoughts lined up like bars
You said, "Forever"
And I agree
But teenage forever should be a figure of speech
How did we end up
So intertwined
You said, "I love you"
I said, "That can't be right"
So take my soul, I don't believe in it
And take my heart, I can't stop feeling this
All that's mine's my mind and I've made my choice
But don't pretend that you lacked a voice
So take my soul, I don't believe in it
And take my heart, I can't stop feeling this
And all that's mine's my mind
And that's left for me
So don't pretend I don't know how I feel
I'm scared of breathing
I'm biting my lip
I'm scared of falling
That something might slip
And I know that you'll catch me
I know that I'm loved
But I'm drowning
I'm drowning
In 'Is that enough?'
All that's mine's my mind
And I've made my choice
But don't pretend that you lacked a voice
