lyrics

I'm not asking for much
I'm hardly asking for anything at all
I want a break from this rushing, change that I'm touching and breaking my fall
I'm so tired of blushing and backwardly running when my name is called
Sell me something I'm sucked in like water induction to the back of my skull

Try as I might we all die in the end
You don't have to pretend
you'll be there holding my hand
Leave if you like I just can't figure this out
Too many holes in this house
there's nothing I can do now

Wish I was still a boyscout carving lines out in a shape i could trust
Instead I'm taking it all out with a single shred of doubt paranoic's rust
Oh so I said I'd bite my tongue because I know it's overdone
To say I'm better on my own
Maybe if you were still around I'd be following you down to the bottom of this hole

Try as I might we all die in the end
You don't have to pretend
you'll be there holding my hand
Leave if you like I just can't figure this out
Too many holes in this house
there's nothing I can do now

American Sigh West Palm Beach, Florida

While the name might conjure a resignation of fate after a protracted battle against societal norms, American Sigh is Theo Matz’s humble West Palm Beach entry into a canon of forgotten pop craftsmanship. Modern in approach and leveled so instruments and vocals shine, there is an underlying nostalgia to its saccharine epidermis. – Abel Folgar, PureHoney ... more
