Will our footsteps fade,
Or will the price be paid?
And will the earth’s breath give out from the mess we made?
Will you see this place?
Will you have your day?
Or will our children’s lives all fade and be erased?
How did we ever, ever, ever reach this stage?
We thought we’d never, never, never see the day.
But what do we know if everything we’ve ever had we all now owe.
What do we know, if everything we kill we think will regrow.
Will our wars rage on,
And will the damage be done?
Have we fired the death blow from the greatest gun?
Will life find a way,
Or is it just too late?
And is human nature natural at all today.
How did we ever, ever, ever reach this stage?
We thought we’d never, never, never see the day.
But what do we know if everything we’ve ever had we all now owe.
What do we know, if everything we kill we think will regrow
Smile child, don’t cry
Swallow down our lies
Eat up, eat up
Chew up our lies
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
