Is it difficult to think about
or impossible to say
Just how much you reply upon
That lucky rabbits foot
as you turn grey
We're getting caught in all your little rituals
when they don't give you peace of mind
you made your bed, don't hide under it
Break the mirror and we'll be just fine
There's far too many ghosts
They hold the keys and all the chains
And you invite them to stay
It's a temporary loss
look what you stand to gain
If it makes you feel better
This is all there is.
And then in the blink of an eye
You won't know how and can't know when.
If it makes you feel better
You can wear me 'round your neck
Amateur dream-catcher
Let's put the ghosts to bed
And sleep instead
Always crowded with no one else in the room
I never doubted that they haunt you
No way around it:
You're in the thick of it
And I know it feels like nobody understands
But I do.
You rounded up their bones
And built yourself a cage
Threw the key away
We're exactly who we are
We're not who we've always been.
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
