You used to tell me things,
For my ears only I’m sure,
Not for anyone else.
But now I’m left here stranded alone,
Watching the tide go out,
By myself.
By myself.
There’s gonna be a swell tonight I feel it,
There’s gonna be a swell tonight I hear it,
Break hell tonight, let’s kick it!
Break hell tonight!
I push play to think of you,
Stuck on repeat in a time
Warp of perfection herself.
But now I’m left here stranded alone,
Watching the tide go out,
By myself.
By myself.
There’s gonna be a swell tonight I feel it,
There’s gonna be a swell tonight I hear it,
Break hell tonight, let’s kick it!
Break hell tonight!
Flutter, flutter, fly, fly, fly
Sounds from a Summer long gone
When I was somebody else.
But now I’m left here stranded alone,
Watching the tide go out,
By myself.
By myself.
I want to hear your sadest story
Stripped bare of all it’s glory,
Beauty’s in the detail,
And that’s where you’ll find me.
I want to hear your sadest story
Stripped bare of all it’s glory,
Beauty’s in the detail,
And that’s where you’ll find me.

New York duo showcase an enigmatic blend of math rock guitars, pop-punk sing-a-longs, emo confessionals, and even rave-ready synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
