the sun rises, we soak it in
dig out of the nest we've made
pull the flowers from their graves
nerves crawl thru us like vines
hair grows long and wild
our blood's filled with sap - sticky and sweet
ripened fruit ready to burst
grab everything 'til our hands are full
but we fall apart
when autumn comes
bits of skin crunch
under our feet as we walk
hearts roll onto snow, tiny avalanche
slowly dissolving
we are nothing more than winter skeletons
we can't move so we just wait
hibernation brings strange dreams
they slip into the spaces we've chiselled away
after everything is lost, we find comfort some way
hoping that when the snow melts, the landscape looks the same
but we fall apart
when autumn comes
bits of skin crunch
under our feet as we walk
hearts roll onto snow, tiny avalanche
slowly dissolving
we are nothing more than winter skeletons
we can't move so we just wait
we can't move so we just wait

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
