lyrics

The sunlight
over Delancey Place,
the longing I feel
is sometimes enough to compensate.
The blossoms.
This spring.
They say
that “life”, it still happens,
that there's a world in waiting.

In the back of Pine Street
I decide to be hopeful that we'll be freed
and the landscape open up
to a thousand persons in the street.
They will make you coffee and
you can safely sit and eat
and we can un-sieze these gears,
undo the rift in society,

But hidden inside of this house,
I feel I've got nothing to give,
Though it's dangerous to go alone,
take this.

The sunlight it continues to move
and the birds, they just constantly make their noise,
I admit that it feels so different this spring,
You want it to be different, but that's not how it is.
The mind of the bachelor, it rolls,
and it rattles around just along this floor,
though I choose to remain hopeful,
open the windows again
and walk past the stores

and making desires,
it's a time to be planning,
it's likely and given,
we haven't been living.

Take this time to go out.
Take this time to re-collect.
Take this time to breathe.
You've got time on your hands,
and that's what it needs.

Watershed
by The Silence Kit

Aggressive when necessary, but showing a control and self-awareness often missed in music that allows the song to penetrate to a more personal level for the listener. The Azure Sea
