about

one of six new tracks on our debut ep

lyrics

there is a saying
but don't say it 'round here
it's just in the way we were raised
there is a silence
in the people 'round here
it's just in the way we were raised

but go to the west & ask the setting sun
she will put you on her knee
& ask her the words that we all say mum
those words will set your spirit free

peace is rest, she will say
this song will end
peace is rest, she will say
this song must end some day

there was a wise man
but don't say his name
he lived on top of that hill
he loved virtue
so we hated him
he lived & died on that hill

but go to his tomb & roll away the stone
the angels will sing you this tune
& ask them his name - you already know
this wisdom they will croon

peace is rest, they will say
this song will end
peace is rest, they will say
this song must end some day

there is a saying
but don't say it 'round here
it's just the way we were raised
