Album: Sometimes, Forever (2022)
Play Video
  • Hear the city roar
    A creature that feeds behind closed doors
    There's nothing it needs
    But money and greed
    And a warm place to sleep

    And the men up on the hill
    Are playing their cards like it's all for thrills
    But what about us?
    We're playing for blood
    And we're playing for keeps

    Sometimes I dream there's a gate to the garden
    That only the earth could break through
    But what is a dream but a light in the darkness
    A lie that you wish would come true

    All the busy wires
    A new conversation spreads like fire
    It's keeping us warm
    But I see a storm
    Coming over the clouds

    And the rain will pound us down
    And before we know the world will drown
    We're gonna sink
    We stand at the brink
    Right before the big plunge

    Sometimes I dream that the dam at the river
    Will keep out the flooding of blue
    But what is a dream but a hope you hold onto
    A lie that you wish would come true Writer/s: Sophie Allison
