lyrics
Overcome by bourbon and ordinary talk
All the things that own us are smaller than we thought
Posture and pose and flex and pretend
That nobody knows how much we give in
All the waking moments, choosing who to serve
As for me and my house, we fluctuate and learn
Chemical built or marble and carved
Blood’ll be spilt and all of it’s ours
Not one we make can help
We yell we cut ourselves
Every half-assed promise, every running mouth
“Think before you speak, son”, I haven’t figured out
Bridle and bit, saddle and tack
Which is the beast and who’s on its back
Not one we make can help
We yell, we cut ourselves until we see
Where it leads, where it leads
We melt our golden jewelry,
I am overwhelmed, I am over
I am overwhelmed, I am over
I am overwhelmed until I see
Overcome by bourbon and ordinary talk
All the things that own us are smaller than we thought
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
