Recorded in my bedroom November and December of 2016, except drums, recorded at Javi's house October 2016.
lyrics
in stacks your face, it was a perfect slate
you never could know why, but you recognized this place
like sand, your days take such different shapes
i've read and i've heard, but i never said a word
you're so erased, white canvas stretched for paint
get back inside your cage, your complicated maze
you're so erased, all of you is erased
our days, our games erased
ascend, we never did
now something's out in the grass
to steal things kept out of sight
erased just like an awful photo
hiding out against the night
to unwind your racing time
kept out again of your nights then
when you're ready just go
i wish i could see you, if only just to ask you
--(stay, stay, stay)
lord you've been away too long--
won't you stay awhile and help me feel...
i wish i could see you, if only just to ask you
(certain games aren't safe to play)
--lord you've been away too long--
won't you stay awhile and help me feel somewhat new?
this blaze is mine that's stirring in your pines
your braids, your maze, your veins
ascend, we never did
in your eyes I was ten feet tall
but hardly made of earth or clay
oh, i was brave and you were brave
hiding out against the night
to unwind your racing time
kept out again of your nights then
when you're ready just go.
