Lyrics

Everyday it’s Friday night
I hold my body like a butcher knife
Smiling for the camera eyes closed
Doing anything you ask I suppose
You tell me you would die to breathe me in
I know there’s no excuse for oxygen
So I will make your bed my graveyard
Let the world run through my soft parts

And I live at this faultline
Between the edge of solitude and hope
I’m shaking in a sentimental trope
And all the stars apologize for night
I don’t blame them I’ve wanted to sometimes
I don’t know what to tell you where I’ve been
My body’s just a landscape for your sin
And all the days regrets the city lights
I know its just the fault of the faultline

Every week keeps slipping by
In this imitation paradise
The angels make me sorry when I err
From the way they want me everywhere
Can’t you see I’m sinking further in
Wish you could reimburse my oxygen
I gave you everything and then some more
Left you with nothing to be looking for

Will I die at this Faultline?
Between the edge of entropy and woe
I wanted everything so much it grows
Until I can’t manage this appetite
I loved you so traumatically that I
Can barely lift the world you left for me
There’s lots of ghosts I somehow still can see
Holding onto me for our dear life
All these bodies always touching mine

Just discovered this band 20 minutes ago and I already fell in love with it! Sensitive lyrics and sweet melodies is all that I need right now. Beautiful video also.

[alterdecastro]

Am I the only one to think this song is a masterpiece ?

[ariadne]

Pretty sure this influenced my dreams the night after I first heard it. Really special.

[sevenoceansdeep]

I too feel the yearning, the longing & emotion this evokes. 10/10 Harmony & Avery. Love you guys 🌹

Every day it's Friday night
I hold my body like a butcher knife
Smiling for the camera eyes closed
Doing anything you ask, I suppose
You tell me you would die to breathe me in
I know there's no excuse for oxygen
So I will make your bed my graveyard
But the world went through my soft parts

And I live at this faultline
Between the edge of solitude and hope
I'm shaking at the sentimental trope
And though the stars apologize for night
I don't blame them, I've wanted to sometimes
I don't know what to tell you where I've been
My body is just a landscape for your sin
And all the days regret the city lights
I know it's just the fault of the faultline

Every week keeps slipping by
In this imitation paradise
The angels make me sorry when I err
From the way they want me everywhere
Can't you see I'm sinking through the rear end
Wish you could reimburse my oxygen
I gave you everything and then some more
Left you with nothing to be looking for

Will I die at this faultline?
Between the edge of entropy and woe
I wanted everything so much it grows
Until I can't manage this appetite
I left you so traumatically that I
Can barely lift the world you left for me
There's lots of ghosts I somehow still can see
Holding on to me for our dear life
All these bodies always touching mine

[chadbroyles]

Two of the great American songwriters...

[mannekenrecords]

3:10 to 3:35 is such a beautiful moment, musically and visually, and Harmony looks like a weird mix between Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow, it's so surreal

[hannahjohnson]

Omg this is so so beautiful anthem for these wintery days. Also really nice because 'Like I'm Winning It' felt like Avery's song and this is Harmony's song :')))
