lyrics

Damn you Mary Shelley
You couldn’t just keep it to yourself
Some ideas need no help
Into the light of day

Damn you Mary Shelley
All the seeds you planted in our minds
That have galvanized throughout time
Now we are living it

Now we are living it, don’t you know
Now we are living it
Now we are living it, don’t you know

Damn you Mary Shelley
I’m sorry for your loss at such a young age
How you put that pain on the page
Now we are living it

Damn you Mary Shelley
You had to pull the darkness from the night
You turned death into a life
Only to leave it here

Only to leave it here, don't you know
Only to leave it here
Only to leave it here, don’t you know

Damn you Mary Shelley
From the start we’re running out of time
Stepping on and over the sublime
Now we are living it

Now we are living it, don't you know
Now we are living it
Now we are living it, don't you know

Only to leave us here
Only to leave us here, don’t you know
Only to leave us here

And now we are living it, don’t you know

For the ever-evolving string band, the 5-song collection showcases their graceful maturation and feels more timeless than timely, in no small part due to frontman David Sickmen's most deeply cultivated songwriting to date. ... more
