lyrics

And maybe I’ve been lost
But at what cost?
You’re selling me out for a lesser loss

And wouldn’t you have guessed?
Your mother’s depressed
She’s taking this worse than expected

It’s been a long, long day
What can I say?
Will someone make these children go away?

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again
There’s nothing left here to defend
The earth is sinking in the sea
There are bigger things than you and me
I’m counting sheep for invisible children

Love me sober as I console her
For some other reason in our some other hell
Love me sober
I can’t control her
I really think she’s given me the wrong idea…

What is it now? Are you really there?
Can I accidentally help you?

I’m just a statue of a burning man
To edify your country

There is no movement in your step
There’s no persuasion in your heart
The youth was wasted on the young
The earth is crashing towards the sun
And everyone seems colder than warmer, so…

Love me sober, as I get older,
Invisible gifts in our invisible world
Love me sober, I can’t console her
I really think I’ve given you the wrong idea…

That’s why I had to leave you then
To save you from embarrassment
From photographs we never took
Of condescending nauseous looks

Someone direct me please
Where can I pay these dues?
Of shredded weathered truth
To chase away these blues
No consolation here for such an awkward heart

Frightened
by Easter Island

Easter Island's debut LP, Frightened, explores the sonic subtleties of Sigur Rós, and Pedro The Lion over hushed vocals, a wash of panoramic synths and guitars, backed by a towering rhythm section. Monahan
