lyrics

If my hour-to-hour is cowboy chords,
before I’m home at night I guess my job’s the IV.
Drinking myself blind,
smoking myself dumb,
straining to hear the V
before the I.

A swarm of little birds
whip-cracking through the sky.
Know how to keep the pace,
know how to fall in line.
There’s no emergency.
There is no reason why,
I just woke up one day
too tired to fly.

Kept it buried
for a long time.
You just met me,
but you think you know me, right?
Yeah, tightrope walker there’s a lot on the line.
Kept it buried
for a long, long time.

Didn’t used to be this hard
to avert my eyes
from the heart of man,
from the rising tide.
Grasping through the dark,
though I’m not trying much,
to find that thin bare wire
I’m scared to touch.

Kept it buried
for a long time.
You just met me,
but you think you know me, right?
Yeah, tightrope walker there’s a lot on the line.
Kept it buried
for a long, long time.

Oh good, I’ve got me phone,
with algorithmic dogs and babies,
naked ladies, shit,
I’ve never felt more alone.
So go on take it hard.
Thumb through all the shots you blew,
the friends you knew,
be advertised to,
go on and feel it all.

Don’t keep it buried
It’s been a long, long, time.

Keepers has been welcomed as “nostalgic, and effortlessly, poetically profound,” by Nylon and “wistful and hopeful and beautiful, a brightly emotive yet understated slow-build." by Stereogum. ... more
