Written January - February '20 and July '20

lyrics

Blinds drawn all summer for eyes on you
Been feeling jaded and turning blue
Our story not so quite new
The words I had once flew
Leaving their shadows in lieu

Time shades our portrait in muted tones
Our timber torn down into a home
Drawn to the whispers of windows
Troubled by their prose
Unsure how deep these roots grow

We've found a rhythm but the words don't rhyme
Leaves shaking in the sunshine
These limbs can offer only pantomime
Calm concrete in the streetlight

Embroidered memories and furnished sites
The borrowed phrases and hands held tight
What would become of what's right?
Unbearably White?
All colors drained by hindsight

We've found a rhythm but the words don't rhyme
Leaves shaking in the sunshine
These limbs can offer only pantomime
Calm concrete in the streetlight

I wish I felt the same
Or something like that way
The reasons we can't change
But tried to
Wishing what is wasn't true

We've found a rhythm but the words don't rhyme
Leaves shaking in the sunshine
These limbs can offer only pantomime
Calm concrete in the streetlight

Dizzy looking up at what we climbed
I've fallen for the last time
Sit in the shade and sip your loss like wine
I've fallen for the last time

about

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
