Leaving songs
Playing on a worn-out stereo
“How bright you shine,
I hope you never forget
How bright you shine,
A resounding, ardent light
That will reach the daydreams and moments
Of finer years to come”
The buzzing of faulty electronics,
Like a swarm of barn flies
Playing that message trapped in static over one thousand times,
“How bright you shine,
I hope you never forget how bright you shine”
And the speakers are about to bust their guts open
Singing those frequencies
Those love songs for the terminally haunted

Dedicated to Gabby and Cornelius. May your lights shine forever.
We hope to perform with this band one day. Some of the best to do it! There is something so special and unique that we find in their sound; it is perfectly satisfactory. To Be Gentle
