about

What do you do when you've realized that your life has already started to unravel?

A midwinter fever dream, featuring swirling, ice-cold guitar.

Sounds like: if Julien Baker, Dashboard Confessional, and How to Dress Well sat down together on the frozen shores of Lake Michigan and decided to write a song together about each of their last unspoken regrets.

lyrics

How low do I sink to move on
I buried myself in the snow
Strike with the spade feel the sting in my hands
So cold, cold, cold

Waiting out merciless night
I’m begging myself not to go
Minutes bleed out to the blue shift of dawn
So cold, cold, cold

Come to save me, I’ll drown in denial
If my hold on reality starts to fray
Lead me to shelter and warmth
I’ll fight you the rest of the way
