Lyrics:
come and light the fire
from every end.
when our hands look old
when we smile at death

when the stars blur out
when our families die
will you think of me?

will i be there still?
will you still see me?

i am an ugly root
knotting itself out of life
i want to breathe fire
i want to grind my teeth into dust

i was alive
now i lie
on my back
in the dark
wounds opening up
in a meadow clearing
head turned
smoke white pouring
from my eyes

drip me dry
feeding the earth
she deserves it more
should have spared her better
wish i had more to give
if i could find myself
if i knew it then
like you saw me now
i could hold you like
you needed me to.

it feels like i'm left behind
watch you i'm eroding
every time
i'm all claw
guilty for every rotting thought

it feels like i'm left behind
you deserve the world
i'm bleeding ash and tar
never waking
i am guilty for it all

This band. This freaking band man. This band has managed to make the sound of my soul.

Just saw them open for Deafheaven, but I hadn't heard of them before. I'm impressed that all 4 of them get equal attention on stage. They all play side by side, even the drums, and all 4 of them sing. I don't think I've ever seen a band do that.

[gucewicz]

Holy Fawn and Sleep Token are the best things I discovered on Spotify in 7 years!

[jay_ender]

Just when I thought these guys could never top Death Spells. So amazing. 🖤

[BAMFlicous]

After hearing this live it’s just so great to hear it in full with good headphones on. Song fucks hard.

[evanmitzner]

Am I crying? It appears I’m crying, love this band so god damn much

[ferrenberg]

I'm glad this sounds a lot like Death Spells, yet the sound from what came after the debut is still present

[MiguelRamirez-crgh]

Legitimately one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Picking up some Beach House, Phantogram, Explosions in the sky, Deftones influence. Just wow

[Mubvekhar]

I feel like Holy Fawn and Crywolf could make a great colab. Different styles, but I think they’d mesh well.

[randypayne]

What an amazing song It grabbed me from the beginning. But when she drank and the screams kicked in... I wept. This song tore through me.

[NenBlaqk]

Loved when Holy Fawn said they were going to play a new song, and now it’s officially released. I love this band.

[miguelb.]

Man, this band, it's perfect. That's it. Cheers from Guatemala, C.A.

[bbbernardooo]

what is it about holy fawn tracks that i cant stop playing them on repeat, just hits so good

[themedisin]

Death isn't a relief if you don't get to vibe the new holy fawn video

[GrowwithCourt]

My favorite song right now is either Death is a Relief, or Yawning (by this band.) Instantly love you guys sound.

[michaelcuneo]

This is magnificent work. I am astounded.

[michaelchamberlain]

Was at the Detroit date and caught this on Snapchat and have been listening back to remember what it feels like to vibe to this one. Now it's out and I'm complete ❤️ Pls never change

[jaredbryce]

Just heard about these guys from a review I read...really interesting stuff...reminds me a little of An Autumn for Crippled Children, but with more emphasis on the ethereal, cleaner side...great stuff!

[LuciaEverblack]

Everything about this song and video is pure bliss. There is so much contrast throughout it. Well done!

[limpiiicken]

Deep video. Deep song. Straight up chills 🖤
