The first single off of our debut LP "The Death of Young Love" out everywhere and forever May 4, 2019

lyrics

Oh since I had to choose
Between being your sun and alone with my moon
Well of course babe I chose you
But now I think I should be the two
2 2

Lost signals found after the eclipse
Saying we stayed for the safety of a polar ice rift
Flowing out into our our own arctic
Where nobody but us could ever exist
Nor come pick us up
Or even give us a lift
Up and up and away
From here and from each other
And from each other
So when we said

That nothing really matters
We were missing our god's own truth
While stuck in sidewalk cracks
Was a lot more gold nothing left to lose
Alot of gold nothing
Gold nothing
We had gold nothing
Gold nothing

My failed love I thought we were dear
But seems we came and were held together by fear
That our young love was doomed
A pair of polar stars pulling in a shapeshifting room
Oh I thought I could truly love you
Stayed up all night so many times trying to talk things through
But our opposition held true
Was it all for nothing

For you
Were the love my heart let surface
Yeah for a time of self-hate
We held too much life to miss
So no I couldn't escape it
My fate was bound to the death of our scorpio kiss
And more lying beneath the surface
Than I ever thought could coexist
So remember when we said

That nothing really matters
We were missing our god’s own truth
While stuck in sidewalk cracks
Was a lot more gold nothing left to use

A lot of gold nothing
Gold nothing
We had gold nothing
Gold nothing

Oh coming around the bend
Where I hoped for our story to continue as friends
But there was too much left to defend
In our fragile new space to make true amends
And now i'm lost without you
Looking for love to fill the void your departure blew
And I just can't come to a fitting end

So I keep on writing
All these songs desperate to make some sense
Of five years, impossible to pretend
I can imagine my self without you and the kind of love and life
That we together so fully led
Can't believe we ever said

That nothing really matters
We were missing our own word’s truth
While stuck in sidewalk cracks
Was a lot more gold nothing then we knew
Young lovers stuck in sidewalk cracks
There's enough gold nothing left to move
A lot of gold nothing
Gold nothing
We had gold nothing
Gold nothing
Gold nothing
