You would swallow the world for me, For me again. But I am pale and sickly, Falling down to your feet, Evading eyes and lips. Filter downstream and end up lost and weak, At my knees.

they say a pessimist is an optimist with experience, that everything happens for a reason, but I'd have to disagree with that, because evidently, things have been happening to me I've been in and out of love, out of my own bed, off it with the world, into people like you she woke up with a smile, donned a floral dress for a dreary day, she didn't understand all the fuss, little did she know my fuss was for her then

bury me - in the wet soil of the places we've been, and been without (I've been without) cherish me, as I have you, feel my cold hands - against your skin your face; half brazen, half curious and a little bored I guess

I'll meet your friend outside the library, it was spring, and you smelled guilty, so I wrote your name across the overpass we're delirious, twirling through the confusion, you're so serious, with me reach for my better half, only to slip and fall, as the sun sets on our town, which never existed we're delirious, swimming through the confusion, and we're so serious, with eachother

about

Six tracks of stunning lo-fi slowcore, put together by two artists working separately from opposing sides of the globe. United by sound and the networks between friends, Lake Michigan and Hopelesstown form a beautiful union and bridge between alternating styles of personal, direct and emotive music.
