lyrics
Hold it and let it burn
We’ll be bold
Like we owned it all
And oh my friend how you’ll be better off than before
Laugh it all down the drain
Our heads throb
Dizzy from all the dreams
And oh my friend you’ll forget how it was before
And I’ll be down in that well
Waiting for the ladder to drop down
Now that you’ve seen me there’s no turning back
I liked it better when it was white and black
But oh my friend
How you were better off before
Gasp once and hold it long
We’ll need a witness
for all the damage done
And oh my friend how you were better off before
And I’ll be down in that well
Waiting for the ladder to drop down
We’ll be bold
Like we owned it all
And oh my friend how you’ll be better off than before
Laugh it all down the drain
Our heads throb
Dizzy from all the dreams
And oh my friend you’ll forget how it was before
And I’ll be down in that well
Waiting for the ladder to drop down
Now that you’ve seen me there’s no turning back
I liked it better when it was white and black
But oh my friend
How you were better off before
Gasp once and hold it long
We’ll need a witness
for all the damage done
And oh my friend how you were better off before
And I’ll be down in that well
Waiting for the ladder to drop down

Feeling like sliding on ice when that bass and the drums coming together and jump out from the sky.

This album is fantastic but good god, the key change on After the Earthquake. I'm in love.

Incredibly raw, honest lyricism with the vocals to match. Love the story telling throughout the record.
