lyrics

Propped up by a hazy brain
you feel the way you did again
and now it's all washed away
all washed away
I must confess it went that way
like I was acting on a stage
born out of clay and mud and rage
with a backdrop overlaid
disparity, a slight delay

Feeling severed from your age and writing letters to a page
until it's all gone away
it's gone away
has it gone away
Things you do to get to rest are
only ever gonna test you
but you know it now
but you know it now
so you know it now

Next thing I'm lying in that space again
oh, if I'd have seen me then
I don't know where he likes to put it
and at the time I think just screw it
cause I was acting on a stage
born out of clay and mud and rage
with a backdrop overlaid
disparity, a slight delay

Feeling severed from your age and writing letters to a page
until it's all gone away
it's gone away
has it gone away
Things you do to get to rest are
only ever gonna test you
but you know it now
but you know it now
so you know it now

I just pretend and pretend
that I found rest
lay my head on pillow's chest
that I found it, found it and would die for it
I'm a lawyer, baker, collector
I'm a boy and I never would hurt her
anemoia, twirling in a round skirt
I'm a boy and I never would hurt her
(and I just pretend and pretend)
that I'm anything, anything but something
I'm the rough tide, crouching on a hillside
(and I just pretend and pretend)
that I'm anything

Feeling severed from your age and writing letters to a page
until it's all gone away
it's gone away
has it gone away
Things you do to get to rest are
only ever gonna test you
but you know it now
but you know it now
so you know it now

Beautiful violin playing and instrumentation. 'Bed spring' is very onomatopoeic. Phoenix Mundy

Light Upon The Lake
by Whitney

supported by 6 fans who also own “Get to Rest”

This album has been in my rotation for nearly a year. It's such a strong debut. Whitney can deliver wistful songs, but their strength is in the major-key up-tempo tracks. Phenomenal road trip music. Sam Speer
