the calvano ep

by the gifted children

/
1.
the greatest 01:32
layered noises like feathered hair jump to ledges over quicksand eyes open and fainting some hellacious trick candles seventeen birthday salutes and a quick smile the secret is out –
2.
the muse 01:40
they called us drama and lack you mispronounced the words and everyone laughed i felt alone and exposed you were shrouded in smoke, i could barely see you you wore the mask of someone trying not to come undone please won't you come back darling please won't you come back to me
3.
the pain 01:08
it doesn't hurt when you feel anymore
4.
the light 02:09
the avalanche of yesteryear rocking chairs for our cracked spines only the lonely survive footsteps fade into carpeted silence we're all bending towards the same faint light...
5.
the walk 02:30
[instrumental]
