A slam a scry a muffled scream
This fool's wish a madman's dream
All we are was on the screen
Someone had to intervene
Splintered tones coalesce a murderous murmur
She repeats it again to make sure you heard her
The words unclear but the meaning stands boldly
Completely opposed to all they'd ever told me
Smoke pours out encloaks and chokes
The night's quiet storm of truths unspoken
Let me know when you're letting go
Silence on the other side of the phone
Let me know when you're letting go
Will you confess I'm guessing no
Lights are flicking on and off
Slow sweep down a rusted staircase
The wind lows through broken glass
Euphoria and sadness intertwine
Let me know when you're letting go
Forgetting all we did before
Smoke pours out encloaks and chokes
The night's quiet storm of truths unspoken
Let me know when you're letting go
Silence on the other side of the phone
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
