This song is really really hard to song and really good we guess, so we made it a video. Please sing it to us at shows. It's about settling in relationships and the feelings of both peace and loneliness that can bring.

lyrics

This settling has worn me thin.
I know I’m always complaining I’m exhausted, but this is it.
I’d rather be alone than angry, and I’d rather noone was home
than I was unhappy.

Oh impossible siren, would you sing me to sleep?
Would you steady my dreams?
Oh would you watch me breathe?

I’m not sure when we all stopped dreaming,
when we started to believe that winter was our only season.
Did you ever hear what I said?
Or have we lost touch again?
I just want this cycle to end.

I’m not sure when we all stopped dreaming.

Oh impossible siren, would you please save me?
My demons know my name,
and they know where I sleep.
