I painted the wings on a butterfly
I painted a portrait based on your design
Began with the eyes and some measured grace
Tried keeping the colors within her constraints
Just as I was done, they whisked her away
Like she was the champion of the East Bay
To see her again, I’d do anything
If she had a song, I’d sing it every day
And I don’t know why I feel so bold
Chasing down a thing that I can’t hold
As if it would somehow make me whole
I caught you like a cold
If I wrote a song, brittle and brave
With so many words I don’t know how to say
I finished a draft and threw it away
If this is the end it seems like such a waste

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs

Turnover has done it again! Such a smooth sound, the only thing I was listening to while I vacationed in Florida when this album was released. romanaugust94
