I've been waiting in a long line
waiting for some down time
waiting for a moment that could be mine
I been waiting for a long long time
I've been staring at the sun rise
wishing I had new eyes
wishing that we'd never have to say goodbye
at least not for a long long time
Lay down my head
or my heart instead
and we'll pretend
that everything is as it should be
I've been chasing down the wrong lead
hiding up the wrong sleeve
needing everything I never really need
I've been fiending for a long long time
I've been staring at the sunset
wishing I could forget
wishing there was no feeling of regret
been wishing for a long long time
there goes my head
or my heart instead
I can't pretend
that everything is as it should be
never would have let me know
that i'd die waiting in this hole
never ever let me go
i've been standing in this bread line
wishing I had more time
wondering was anything ever really mine?
except of course my place in this line.

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
