lyrics

Tears fall on the circuit boards
They don't work like they did before
Taking pictures on the bridge
As the sun goes cold and dim

Let's pretend this isn't happening
Like September to a summer fling
Let's ignore the inevitable
You say, like that's a choice

Autumn leaves in the drain
You run from change till it finds you on a perfect day
You tell me that it's a shame
Time moves past us in such a permanent way

In dead oceans still the breakers fold
Strip me down but stop before my soul
Still there's nowhere that I'd rather be
Than the first boat that the sea can't reach

Autumn leaves in the drain
You run from change till it finds you on a perfect day
You tell me that it's a shame
Time moved past us in such a permanent way
And there was something
In the way that we used to disagree
It felt so good
I'm out of air now and I don't feel a thing
I don't feel a thing

Stars in retreat
Plots never ending now with
Nothing in between
Can someone change the batteries again, again, again

Oliver Beardmore Birmingham, UK

Oliver’s new direction defines a sonic palate which places him at the end of a more avant-garde lineage: inspired sonically by shoegaze and dream pop royalty My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive but with a melodic sensibility more akin to Lorde and Mazzy Star. ... more
