lyrics

say it once for me
say it once for me

say
"henry i'm so tired
come and rock me gently
as the wind blows through my window
and i slowly fall asleep
and you can watch me breathe
and you can watch me dream
and you can watch my horrors slowly seep out of my seams
and when the storm comes back to brooklyn
leave the nightlight on for me"

cause i'm scared
that i'm so boring
where's the boy with his heart unscrewed
17 an eyeball sprouted
center of my forehead
showing me what I now stood to lose

it was the wind
let loose
it was the wind
let loose
it was the love i ripped from cold dead fingers
it was the wind
let loose

say it once for me
say it once for me

say
"henry we're so proud
you're stronger than you've ever been
we're so glad to stand behind you
we're so proud to be your friends
you're gonna have to be more brave
you're gonna have to be more tough
but you'll never be alone
because you're nothing if not loved
and when the storm comes back to brooklyn
leave the nightlight on for us"

cause i'm scared
that i'm so boring
where's the boy with his heart unscrewed
21 i realized that i no longer was emptied
of all the things i thought i'd one day lose

like the wind
let loose
like the wind
let loose
like the love i ripped from cold dead fingers
like the wind
let loose

when i was young, yeah i dreamed of horses
let loose on and open road or plain
ran wild with the beasts of burden
made use of my mothers maiden name
"Henry May Wander
but not very far"
i'll be the storm coming back to brooklyn
carried on the backs of broken stars

i'll be the wind
let loose
i'll be the wind
let loose
i'll be the love i ripped from cold dead fingers
i'll be the wind
let loose

The Epoch Is Now
by The Epoch

I have too many friends that make great music to only suggest three. So we started an art collective and put out a compilation of all our music. This is it. Also there's a new Small Wonder song on it. Small Wonder

i think this is my favorite album ever. this album has had an intense hold on me ever since I first started listening to it 3 years back after hearing maxo’s remix of gemini. it truly shaped the kinds of music i listen to now. i think the one i wanted to be will forever stick with me. ella
