bandages to keep in what’s inside you
therapy to help to get it out
what about the people that surround you
what you put in’s what you’re getting out
what does that tell you about yourself
I fall as straight as an arrow
as straight as an arrow when I fall
taught to be a bridge to understanding
acting like a wall to block it’s way
sinking like a boat under the arches
reaching for the hands you turned away
how did you not see today coming
dark thoughts bleed into black hearts
turning our fine arts into the sparest of parts
I fall as straight as an arrow
as straight as an arrow when I fall

Max Goldstein makes "acoustic" music that is a unique mix of guitar, experimental electronics, and percussion. Make indie rock weird again. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 25, 2021
More feel-good indie from Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves, all bristling guitar tones and expansive choruses. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2021
