we both know that we'll just end up in a box
we've got time to kill until it's a genocide
and we'll ask heaven's front desk
how much for a second try?
in a hundred years or so someone will dig us up
and expose our bones to the sun
they'll box us up and ship us out
put on display in a glass case
and flashes will go off every time
someone peeks into our box
everyone will want to know
who we were and where we'd go
with faces pressed to the glass
they leave behind fingerprints
moving on to something else
whatever caught their eye
and we'll wait right there
for the next one to point and stare
we don't look our best
please just let us rest
what we leave behind will have you scratching your minds
but just make up shit if you want
things you've never seen, functions that can't be dreamed
is this ritualistic or just something pretty?
and flashes will go off every time
someone peeks into our box
everyone will want to know
who we were and where we'd go
with faces pressed to the glass
they leave behind fingerprints
moving on to something else
whatever caught their eye
and we'll wait right there
for the next one to point and stare
we don't look our best
please just let us rest

This album is beautifully crafted and emotional. Adam's guitar playing is incredible - intricate yet simple and melodic. The lyrics are infinitely moving, and each song is full of honesty and passion. Hides A Well
The mood of this album completely surrounds you and invokes a plethora of emotions. It is full of thoughtful lyrics and hauntingly beautiful melodies. Hides A Well
Poetic and ethereal folk songs paired with a handful of clever pop tracks - all sung beautifully. I am constantly impressed by Young Legs. Hides A Well
