lyrics

Turn the light out
Close the door
Looking at the ceiling from the floor
Sooner or later
It was gonna catch up with me
It’s only failure
If I don’t feel everything

And when the ground falls beneath me
I’m gonna fight
I’m gonna hold on to the edge
For dear life
I’m gonna lay here in the dark
Lay here in the dark
Lay here in the dark until it gets light

Love I hear you call
You don’t look like I thought you would would at all
Love you’re all I have left
In this unfillable night of emptiness

And when the ground falls beneath me
I’m gonna fight
I’m gonna hold on to the edge
For dear life
I’m gonna lay here in the dark
Lay here in the dark
Lay here in the dark until it gets light

Love, This is gonna sting
I can feel the wounds are opening
Cause love, you are everything
Teach me how to bow when I am breaking

And when the ground….

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
