lyrics

I never thought I’d have to be the one to say to you
Darling
Every single thing you’ve come to know is wrong.
It’s startling.
As the sticky cloudy mess of your old memories displace
You’ll find
You’re exactly where you’ve always been in this particular space
And time

It always starts out unfamiliar
But true awareness is a real pain killer
And soon enough you’ll recognize this voice is mine

I never thought I’d have to be the one to tell you
Darling
Every little thing you’ve come to know as something
was nothing.
And the itchy sneaking sense you recognize as familiarity
Baby
It over exposes your nerves they grow like roses it’s true
This is the real you

The mysterious dream foundation of
The collective consciousness is love
In the library of your mind
I hope you didn’t waste your time

Ash
by Eric Lea

The arrangements are complex and engaging, almost every song has a bridge that pulls you sideways in the best way, the lyrics are often simultaneously emotional and hilarious, and the strings, my God! John Brownell

I love the stripped down nature of this EP because it showcases Sebastian's songcraft along with his ridiculous voice. John Brownell
