lyrics

Silver skyline, felon fog
You can ride it down
if you're feeling fine
if you're feeling fine

You came upon a mountain,
aboard a boat,
but not for nothing
You came into the sea,
but not for me,
and not alone

Now,

me and my bird play love games all of the time
Me and my girl play love games all of the time
Now I can stand on my own and she doesn't mind

Watch to the peak of the last strand of hair
There's a light that takes hours
but it shines when she takes flight
Even though there are flaws
to drain the life
Even though there are flaws

Blue church in the morning
I'll be back
By the break of dawn
you'll be something new
Dusty dusk, priming skyline
Can't get the look that you're feeling
alright

Fasting For The Ceiling
by Dopey's Robe

supported by 4 fans who also own “Not for Nothing”

'Tis the best album of 2018. Even with Smote Reverse and TWO Ty Segall records coming out. Yes, this is the best. ALL the songs are great. But I believe that Fasting makes the album. U.F.NO. is the best one live. But Fasting feels like rain constantly pouring down on me. In the slimyest of ways. _thewasp_
