lyrics

Hold on, that's enough
I'll live for the moment
Can't breathe in the rough
Take me where the air is high

I sat on the ground
Lay down like a dead man
Gave up, that was that
So long to the roving eye

Wake up, leave your light on
Don't speak til the day dawn
Get up, get dressed
Underwhelmed, under duress

And after this
After that
After all the aftermath

It's a long letter day

Hear sounds all around
See eyes red and yellow
Cold wind through the trees
Lift me to the open sky

Turn my heart around
Help me build a fire
Blow smoke through my ears
Come hide here beneath the clouds

Got food, I can't eat it
Got love, I don't need it
Passed out, past my prime
First to fail, last in line

And after this
After that
After all the aftermath

It's a long letter day

Wondrous, resonant, sonorous beauty from an agile, captivating mind. A musician through and through letting the ideas spool out, gather and envelop the listener with such tenderness and kindness. Jason Christie

This is literally one of my favorite tracks of all time. I was on a podcast talking about having AuDHD and when they asked me to recommend a song, this was it! Because it just wakens my brain in a really particular way :) mattiamauree
