lyrics

There are things outstanding
Weighing on me hard
Places right beside me
That seem to be too far
There are voices I remember
And words in me resound
Music washes over me
Though I can’t hear a sound

There are tables set
Beds are made
It seems I let
Them slowly fade
Here I am at winter’s birth
Called to from beneath the Earth
These frozen songs
Beneath the street
Biting shoes
Trip at my feet
Once my face
Scrapes on the dirt
No one asks
If I am hurt

There are things outstanding
weighing on my heart
Places right inside me
that seem to be too far
There are ghosts that I remember
and they brush against my skin
They keep moving closer to me
trying to get in

The tables set
the beds are made
seems I let them slowly fade
here I am at winter’s birth
called to from beneath the Earth
These frozen songs beneath the street
Biting shoes trip at my feet
once my face
scrapes the dirt
no one asks if I am hurt
There are things outstanding
I must put away
There’s a life behind me
begging me to stay
all the choices I have made
take a toll that I have paid
I have paid

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
