lyrics

we couldn’t leave the city,
we couldn’t leave, we couldn’t leave.
and everything under the surface bleeds and bleeds.

and I want it to be alright.
hindsight can’t make it fine.
I’m sorry I was tongue-tied,
I’m sorry I never found the space in my mind
for you and your aftersight.

there’s always a better way.
I’m sorry I don’t want to stay.
cause we are not for long.
after sight comes the better things.
so I spend my longing
on starlight and angel wings.

we could never feel right,
we couldn’t feel, we couldn’t feel.
and everything we thought was right wasn’t real.

maybe this is all exaggeration,
maybe it’s all fine.
but I’m sorry I was tongue-tied,
I’m sorry I never found the space in my mind
for you and your aftersight.

there’s always a better way.
I’m sorry I don’t want to stay.
cause we are not for long.
after sight comes the better things.
so I spend my longing
on starlight and angel wings.

and everything flows back to the sea.
just because there’s a better way doesn’t mean that it’s for me.
you never found the key;
after sight comes the better things.

about

Romanus Boston, Massachusetts

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!
