Letting Up Despite Great Faults

http://linktr.ee/lettingup
I don't mind if I bruise my knees to ask your hand
But you always lift me up so I can see every part of me
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
I love that you're always the first to dance
I love that you're always the one around to say it's okay
I hope you know even my friends feel the same about you
I can't believe it's been 8 years
You used to leave and disappear
You used to even have red hair
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
It was always your love

You told me I'm the best
You're just like the rest
I don't want to put you through all the things I left in you
I'll wear it anyway, you know it's felt like a thousand years
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head
Now I'm dressed in all black
Sometimes I mouth the words 'I'm falling behind'
How do I make it right
Well it might be time to try
I can't undo this feeling of you
But aren't you just like the rest
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head

Corners Pressed

Can't you see the ice beneath starts to bend when you condescend the way I try
She turns everything upside down
With you I feel like I'm skating on thin ice
Will it bother you if I don't want to hide
Can't you see the ice beneath me starts to bend when you defend the way he tries
Will you use the same words to hurt me again
She says she only spins for you
Do you remember all the words you used to hurt me
Are you giving me a test to make me a mess
I'm ready to hear what you whispered in his ear
I'll hold my breath until the conversation's clear
I'm falling again, I'm falling upside down again
She spins even when I'm in the room 
She spins like she's waiting for my doom
I feel like I'm skating on thin ice with you

I've been dreading the next part
I know you’re caught between
I know your revery
I know your apathy
When I come home I wonder who you’ll be
Are we halfway crooks
Sugarcoat my looks
How can you be free when you’re only half the things
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
I know we aren’t cool anymore
Your elastic heart in your little kingdom
Never there
Never tears
Never seems to care
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
Why do I come back for more
It’s the way you move me

Lyrics:
My teenage war still marks me undefeated in your room again
leaning on you this way
My teenage war makes me feel alive but tears us in two
Are you counting on me to the end?
Can I count on you in the end?
I think it's right before your eyes, telling you how much we've always been alive
I'm falling to pieces, I'm scared to be the same
I'm falling from the grip I made
I'm falling to pieces, too scared to be the same
I never wanted to leave this way but I'll rise up again one day
I wish we were back leaving it all one breath
My teenage war

Lyrics:
I'm comfortably wrapped in you
I can feel your lungs, I can hear you too
I'll follow you as you're breaking new ground
Hazy memories
I'm still wrapped in you but they might sweep me away soon
Will you follow me now out of this lonely town?
Be a gun to our mistakes, we'll be wonderful this way
Every new word I say makes me so afraid
Hazy memories
So far I'm still wrapped in you but they might sweep me away soon
Who cares right?
I'm wrapped in you
Don't get swept away, I'm not running away

Lyrics:
Clear your lust and push away the boys
Be yourself, you're almost gold
Forever you said, some would erase, I know
Slowing down here dear
But you can still touch them, you're not that far ahead
You're falling forward but you're not that far ahead
Soon you'll be glowing all night
Like a superblast in your eyes but you're not that far ahead
A heavy hand can't feel desire
I know it hurts but you're making up ground

Lyrics:
I can't find me anymore 
but I'll breathe faster this time 
now that I know you're ahead grabbing me from the flames like drowning quicksand 
I know you're hiding in this spark
Will you stay with me until they're gone? 
We're so close 
Wait, I'll watch the time, we're so close, your spark makes me drive 
I don't mind waiting for you to say hello
I know you can take the day off, will you spend it with me? 
I can't find me anymore, new corridors 
I can't find me anymore, blank ammo swords 
But at least I found you

Lyrics:
Would you break me down? 
I'm bulletproof now
I can see every word bounce off you and I realized I spoke too soon
If I fold, will you take me out? If I fold, will you take me down?
You'll never find your way back
I'll never find my way back
Blindfold me so I won't know where to aim
I can't reach you now

Lyrics:
following emergencies we might feel the same
only silhouettes are left now, even when we're down
you're too early june
i'll always try to move with you
i can hardly wait for our second fame

In Steps

💘 indie/dreampop 💘
www.lettingupdespitegreatfaults.com

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an American indie dreampop band from Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. Making their mark with their acclaimed debut album (self-titled 2009) and Untogether (2012), they carved out a little corner of the dreampop world with their take on electronic shoegaze and indiepop jangle. After taking a hiatus which songwriter Mike Lee hails as their time to "become real adults," they came back to their familiar form with IV (2022). Gearing up for their next release, Reveries, we hear them push forward and further like never before, exploring new sounds and structure with a mature patience and confidence emblematic of "real adults." Now inspired by vastly different genres from drum 'n' bass to post-punk to K-pop, their version of dreampop has become larger and simultaneously very refined. Meticulously mixed by the amazing Melina Duterte (Jay Som), the new album Reveries yet again shows Lee wearing it all on his sleeve.

Touring U.S. in Spring 2025 and Asia in Summer 2025.
