lyrics

[Verse 1]
If we were metaphors,
You’re a raging sea — I’m a perfect storm.
You’re a wildfire; I’m the wind that feeds you.
My flicker, my flame;
Oh, the shadows on the walls —
They all know me by name.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We are wasted — the dark is replacing
All of the bright in me.
I chase it — so close, I can taste it.
It only ever made sense to me
Within my wildest dreams.

[Chorus 1]
Drift —
Out of the shadow you’re in;
The dawn will guide you.

Drift —
Open your eyes; O, sleeper, rise —
Or roll the dice, again.

[Verse 2]
Love, like a common thief;
Taking everything we want, but not a thing we need.
You play me like a fiddle, with a broken string.
My river; my rain,
I’m thirsty for a taste —
Though it terrifies me.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We are wasted — the dark is replacing
All of the brighter things.
*Blinded — soul, body-and-mind.
Look close — the scales will fall away
From your eyes,
Like rain.


[Chorus 2]
Drift.
Out of the shadow you’re in;
The dawn will guide you.

Drift.
Open your eyes; o, sleeper, rise —
Or roll the dice, again.

[Bridge]
We keep the dirtiest secrets.
We’d shed our souls, just to keep them.

[Bridge Jam] (Harmony Overlay/Buildup)
O, don’t we? O, don’t we?
O, don’t we? O, don’t we?

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I was broken — You tore ‘em wide-open;
The lies, and the make-believe,
I was sold like a fool and his gold — pearls,
Cast to the swine.
I once was blind —
But I fin-ally see (what this really means).

[Chorus 3]
Drift —
Out of the shadow you’re in;
The dawn will guide you.

Drift.
Open your eyes; o, sleeper, rise —
Or roll the dice, again.

[Ending Vocal/Harmonies]
It’s a long, long way to the bottom.
(Oh, oh, oh)
It’s a long, long way to the bottom.
(Oh, oh, oh)

<Repeat x1>

woolgather Austin, Texas

"Austin, TX has become a breeding ground for incredible new rock bands, and Woolgather may just be one of the brightest. Their progressive song structures find room for inescapable melodic beauty, crushing layered heaviness, and stunning vocals and lyrics from the extraordinary Casey Tipton, WG sits very comfortably alongside progressive art rock luminaries such as Dredg and Wintersleep." -EIS.com ... more
