WEIRD LITTLE HILL

We were looking at the lights of a sleepy little town
From the top of a hill with a chain-link crown.
Oh, the hill was dark but I didn’t really care.
There was light in her eyes, and oh, oh, oh weeds in her hair.

Every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all, and it’s done no ill.
Oh every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all and I always will

The moon never moved and the dogs didn’t fuss
And a transmitter tower kept watch over us.
We never did sleep, and we never saw dawn,
Till I said I gotta go, and she said with a yawn:

“Every little town has a weird little hill
But this one’s mine, it’ll be here till
You come back to my town, you come back to my hill.
Come and rest by me. Come and get your fill.”

I used to hitch a ride but now I got a car.
I drive a lotta miles but I never get far.
I fill her up myself, there’s nothing else inside,
Nobody waiting, no one wants a ride.
There’s always a hill I think I could be for real
I get to the top, it’s another bad feeling,
Another horizon, another shitty deal,
Another little town with another weird hill.

Every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all, not against my will.
Don’t remember that town, can’t remember her hill,
So I’m climbing them all and I always will,

Till I find that tower and I find her there:
With light in her eyes,
Arms outstretched,
Holding out my life,
And weeds, weeds in her hair.

Cause every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all and I’m climbing,
I’m climbing,
I’m climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still.

Weird Little Hill (Soundcloud Single)

Lyrics: 

I am the void
That eats your happiness
The crumbling abyss
That makes you feel cold

I am the ghost
That prods your head at night
I prod with all my might
I want you to scream

Oh oh
You will never wash me away
Oh oh
You will never scrub me away

I am the guilt
You feel towards everything
Your smile and all the things
That you don't deserve

I am the dread
That hangs above your soul
You'll feel me young and old
I'm your oldest friend

Oh oh
You will never wash me away
Oh oh
You will never scrub me away

Translucence

The Void
