lyrics

Originally written for & recorded with my old band VYVYAN as "Pulse Opera House" - vyvyan.bandcamp.com

--------------------------------

This town is way to small
I can feel the temperate swell at the silence
That I fill with nervous questions.
I am always 12 years old,
I am in my sunday school,
And I am ugly, scared, and I am pulling at my sleeves.

So you tell me, I cannot change the weather.

I know I've been a wreck,
But sometimes you just can't fight the current,
So I've been lying in the riverbed
Painting all the rocks a brilliant red.
Trying to remember the way you held your hands
In those crushed velvet seats.
Trying to compress. Trying to exist in a much smaller state.

You called me every night at 10
To see if I still cried at the end of every movie,
And your voice was so soft I always nearly fell asleep
Right before you asked me, "do you still love me?"

And I told you, "I cannot change the weather."

I know I've been a wreck,
But sometimes you just can't fight the current,
So I've been lying in the riverbed
Painting all the rocks a brilliant red.
Trying to remember the way you held your hands
In those crushed velvet seats.
Trying to compress. Trying to exist in a much smaller state.

contingency

This is Alyssa's first solo album. It's really beautiful! She is a quiet storm. I often find myself coming back to this album and the stories in it. I also suggest her 2016 seasonal split series! Garrett Walters

Devotionals
by Gray Witch

I am always in awe of the way Frances's lyrics tumble forward so naturally. This album is so thoughtfully put together. Often very minimalist, but always feeling full & present. It's under my skin. Garrett Walters
