lyrics

Woke in the night.
In a room that’s dark and empty,
A voice asks “how did you get here?”
Toss and turn until dawn.
Heavy eyes burning through daylight.
Hang your head, tie a noose
Around your neck.
It’ll drag you along.

(CHORUS)
The faults you bought and the loves you lost
Were all from faking where you belong.
The faults you bought and the loves you lost
Were all from faking where you belong.

And it’s not enough, it’s not enough.
It’s not enough, no it’s not enough.

Frustrated, deflated, with nowhere to go
And nothing to show for it.
Hang your head, tie a noose, arrive at home
And worry through the night.
Don’t belong, don’t belong.

(CHORUS)
The faults you bought and the loves you lost
Were all from faking where you belong.
And it’s not enough, no it’s not enough,
You’re still stuck and asking “how did I get here?”

Blending sweeping soundscapes, drum-heavy grooves, anthemic crescendos, and grounded melodic vocals the quartet’s sound is akin to their region of rainy weather, lush earthy colors, and foggy coastal highways. ... more
