From the recording Mumbuni Demos

Lyrics

oh, hey. hello. this fucking day, but thanks for coming.
caught me smiling. that’s a fiction. that’s my armor.

so let’s pretend we’ll toast and drink we’re here to party, laugh, embrace
our happy faces, sleeves are hearted, heavy taste, the bittersweetness
underneath still hollow vacancy too obvious our wounds are open
but today is for this semicolon

oooooooh truer has never been truer has never been
through is the only way through

well hey, oh look, it’s not an end the road kept going
heard someone say how sad their new bouquet was wilting
remember by the time we cut them they’d already finished growing
now they’re just our way of showing love; the flowers, candles, all of us
our beauty is so temporary everything will fade until it’s gone

but right now we should dance, I love the song the band is playing
It has a perfect melody we all keep singing the refrain
and it goes
oooooooh truer has never been truer has never been
that through is the only way through
and I see you and I see you agreeing
through is the only way

I’ll see you when I see you
