about

This acoustic reimagining of Sour Patch started out as a pandemic lockdown-era experiment--something to work on when we couldn't practice or write new material as a full band, and a chance to try out some new sounds. It turned into something we really love--a tribute to the friends we missed during that lonely period, and a way to feature some friends' creative voices alongside our own. Deep gratitude to Ashley, Adela, and Heidi for bringing this to life.

lyrics

You can’t take him down
He’s all around
With no way out
And you can’t remember how
That other world made sense
And everything weighed less
But you can’t and you won’t so you keep on waiting

When you tell me
You’d never forgive yourself
Well you tell me
You’re under an awful spell
More than any ancient question, I wonder
If you remember your intention, from underneath?

You built this home
It’s what you know
It’s all you own
And you live there all alone
Together in silence
The echo of violence
That never leaves
And you can’t and you won’t and you keep on waiting

When you tell me
You’d never forgive yourself
Well you tell me
You’re under an awful spell
More than any ancient question, I wonder
If you remember your intention, from underneath?
Cus it’s a bright and cold December, and the untracked snow
Whispers lightly to surrender and come back home

Take your grandfather’s ring and your cup of stars
Skeleton heart slipping through the bars
Let the trees hold up the sky
With the snow in your face, your arm in a brace
Feeling your feet falling into place
Let the trees remember why
As they watch you rise
