i didn’t write this for a fractured failing light
for my mother, or my father, or the one i’ll kiss goodnight
on the last night of my life
this one’s for you, it’s been all along
the last person to ever hear this song
can you forgive me for thinking ill of you?
i am trembling on the high dive as little ones are wont to do
i don’t want to go, but you push me
and i’d like to think by the time you come around
i’ll be long since put into the ground
but that’s a lot to ask of you, and that’s a lot to ask of me
you didn’t ask to be a symbol, but honey, neither did we
and with that in mind
do you mind if i confide in you
while i have you here?
i’m still afraid of the dark
and everyone i know forgot my birthday this year
and sometimes i’m afraid that i’m the love of my life
or maybe it’s you, it’s been all along
the last person to ever hear this song
well, here we are.
i am bending to a dive
the shaking in your eardrums all that’s keeping me alive
so what happens now?

Why isn't Lula Wiles a bigger deal, they're so cool?? I was waiting patiently to hear the follow-up to What Will We Do and this album did not disappoint 💖 I love the lyrical themes they keep exploring & the intimate feel of their storytelling. It's hard to pick a favourite track, it changes with the time of day (or night). wool of bat
My CD came with a personalized hand written thank you note from the band, confirming that they are as lovely and genuine as their music. It will stay with the CD forever. Thank you. jtl1313
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead.
