Frayed, roped in silk
Lying underneath the counterpane
So I'm older in my head
Giving up to words that shift my blame
Loaned, lived like string
Can it ever be that I'm in pain
Fixed, safe and sound
How could I complain about my faults
There are films, wry and smart
Try to give it love and wring some thought
Rich, feel like thieves
Can it ever be that we're just plain

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
