Every morning when I wake up
I’m not sure which me I’m going to get
A pool of hope or a wave of sadness
It’s sink or swim from the start to the end
My hands are swollen, my heart is racing
My ears are ringing with the notes I spent
It’s just sixteen syllables that were barely audible
A group of words that I always regret
No matter how much they meant
(Chorus)
Sometimes the best way to say that you’re sorry
Is to keep your apologies to yourself.
Every evening when we curl up
I know for certain that this is all I need
Under the covers, a simple silence
A quiet promise between you and me
I’ve picked my poisons, I’ve picked my pleasures
I’ve picked my battles, and I’ve picked my friends
It’s just fifteen memories that will burn inside of me
I keep those fires lit with the tip of my pen
Until the ink runs red
(Chorus)
It’s just another day spent in silence
Spinning on top of the loneliest planet inside my head
Inside my head.
I sang for redemption
I sang for sympathy
I sang in silence
Now, I’m going to sing one for you and me

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays
