loose ends, like the jelly bloom in dark bays
you said you were over being blue
come back, stave away the greyer greys
with new shades from underneath the sea
where balene sleep
I wanted to be your Eden
I wanted to be your Eve
I just wanted to be your good girl
but then I grew into a man
can’t make land, from under water
can’t find water up here on dry land
new stems of the lily from the dark clay
till blue dawn would see you hide your bloom away
I won’t let you get too far away from me
come back
I just wanted to be your good girl
but then I grew into a man
can’t make land, from under water
can’t find water up here on dry land
As if none had come before us
In somebody else’s plan

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it. Devin Passage
Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
