about

Off the new album 'Songs For The Newly Reclusive' out now!

lyrics

Arms reach
Keeping you at arms reach
Won’t open my heart again
Won’t open my heart again

Lonely
Afraid of being lonely
But company’s not everything
It’s safer underground


Arms reach
Keeping you at arms reach
Won’t open my heart again
Won’t open my heart again

Trusting

I used to be so trusting
Now I can’t trust in anything again



This world is full of leaches
And open hearts are worse for wear
I’ve learned there’s nothing wrong

With being so withdrawn

I’m running out of pages

Flipped through and frayed by flippant hands
Can’t close an open book
The binding’s been ripped off

So many other people’s thoughts
Forced in my head
I’m getting lost

Which are my own?

Which are my own?

I used to thrive in crowded halls
Now I favor narrow walls of solitude instead



This world is full of leaches
And open hearts are worse for wear
I’ve learned there’s nothing wrong

With being so withdrawn

I’m running out of pages

Flipped through and frayed by flippant hands
Can’t close an open book
The binding’s been ripped off

More alone with company

Than when I was held in isolation
Bloodletting my need for your validation
Drop me back down

Into the hole
That I crawled out of



You have to be
Within arms reach
In order to push someone away
You have to be
Within arms reach
To push away from everything
