it took a long time to come down
took too much time to come to this cold conclusion
as cold as the winters have become
it took a long time to break out
spent too much time wrapped in this cold confusion
as cold as my heart has become
I'll never get this right again
it's not like I ever tried to win
i'll never get this right again
I guess sometimes you just get lucky
It's all coming down now
and it feels like you should have known
this was coming
like the pressure that builds before a storm
It's all in the past now
it's so far but feels so close to your bones
like a voice on the phone that takes you home
I'll never get this right again
it's not like I ever tried to win
I'll never get this right again
I guess sometimes you just get lucky
it gives me the hope that I didn't need
to quell my spite
so I can fly away blindly
chasing something I'll never find.
I'll never get this right again
it's not like I ever tried to win
I'll never get this right again
I guess sometimes you just get lucky.

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
