lyrics

Born with a crest of your own
Seven-league boots on a balsam throne
Hemmed-in woodlands, carved from stone
A songbird full of the tunes you stole
And a rusted trailer can’t outlast the running water
Oxide into autumn wire
And the grass will thread the holes with green and gold
O! Springtime’s choir

Gotta risk it all
For the promise held in another’s hand
Gotta risk it all
Outside yourself you’ll understand

Born without a crest of my own
No skeleton key for all closed doors
I came so close that the window froze
From the breath I took and the breath you stole
And your winter armor can’t protect you from another
Confide in the hunter’s moon
And the summer sleeps until the hawthorn blooms
O! Come too soon

Gotta risk it all
For the promise held in another’s hand
Gotta risk it all
Outside yourself you’ll understand

You really shouldn’t look at me that way
You really, really got to let it go some day
You should take the hand you’re sworn to take but if you stay...

Gotta risk it all
For the promise held in another’s hand
Gotta risk it all
Outside yourself you’ll understand

Lovely Dark Minneapolis, Minnesota

Dark, anthemic indie rock vibes from Minneapolis, MN. We make loud, pretty music about witches and physics.

“Layered and theatrical … like a walk through a fairy-tale forest” (89.3 the Current).​ ... more
