Halt this dizzying motion
Before my life is halved
Cancel this fruition
Contain this youthful past
Nothing is the something that I see you looking for
Gain some greater meaning for the people you ignore
Take your final breath and then the world beyond the grave
Wipes your memory of all the ones who were enslaved
I have no idea just what the hell is going on
What on God’s green earth is worth the pain with which I bond
Is everything for fixing or’s this all we’re meant to be
Burn eternal or some glory or this black revine
(I don’t know)
(I just want this to be over)
The call is lost
It’s gone so far
There’s nothing out there
To care for now
You graveless ghost
You’ve told me twice
A worldly gain
Is half as nice
But all I have
Is all I need
And all I’ve seen
Is all I believe
Us hapless ones
On bloodstained sands
Will soon be gone
To time’s cruel hand
Anna Arobas makes intricate, otherworldly folk-pop with delicate, glacial arrangements but a howl of heartbreak at the center. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2022
