No excuses, no rules
No script, no readymade defense
Only this silence, only me
And I’m always such a bitch to you
Because I don’t know what to do
I meant to will to love you
But I guess that I forgot to after all
And if you’re not appalled, you should be
Although I swear I meant no harm, dear
I still lie without wincing
So convincing without meaning to be
Finally meaning nothing
Without provocation
I’ve gone months without speaking to you
Always leaping without looking
Till I leave without loving
So I drew you a map
With monsters in the corners of it
But these warmer winds still filled your sails
And so you failed to see
That the monsters all were me
Or the storm already gathering
As the dawn threw squares in red
Upon the wall beside my narrow bed
Where I lay alone, and that’s as it should be
Although I swear I meant no harm, dear
I still lie without wincing
So convincing without meaning to be
Finally meaning nothing
Without provocation
I’ve gone months without speaking to you
Always leaping without looking
Till I leave without loving

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
