Revisited


When some unfamiliar faces came to shop in our old house
I didn't bother trying to stop them until they emptied it out
I was standing by the front door, stuffing cash in a jar
taking payment for our failures
I only wanted to alarm you

So when they asked me for directions, I sold them our map
I sold our shovels and our flashlights
they took our duffel bag with a ton of room, but a broken strap
The hungry patrons hit the graveyard, I lit a joint in the house
where there was nothing but our mattress and the same soft shelter of sheets
where nobody found us

I let them strip your mausoleum so nothing was left
but they forgot to close the casket
They sent you shivering to my doorstep
Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake
I slid it up for you to slither through
I heard you howling

"Just take me!
Just take me to the rusty city we perfected
that holy summer we first found!”

The place you’re stubbornly protecting is the only pretty thing that we own now
and we can stay here to wither in your garden of eden
but your fantasy’s a prison and you’re serving a sentence you can't stop repeating

Can you see the secret exit? The false wall in obsession?
You’ll only .t through the doorway when you relinquish your possessions

So leave everything you've stolen that you can't give back
and don't replace what you've been missing until you know what you're lacking
Leave everything you've borrowed and kept for yourself

You can’t unbreak our broken leases holding on to broken pieces, so return them!
No guilt, no sorry speeches

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Antlers are an American indie rock band formed in Brooklyn in 2006. The core of the group consists of Peter Silberman (vocals, guitar), Michael Lerner (guitar, keyboards) and Darby Cicci (drums). Their music is characterized by introspective atmospheres, poetic lyrics and delicate arrangements that blend elements of folk, post-rock and dream pop. After several independent EPs, they released their debut album "Hospice" in 2009, a critically acclaimed work that achieved great commercial success. The album tells a love story tormented through the lens of terminal illness and helped to solidify the band's image as one of the most promising in contemporary indie rock. Over the years, The Antlers have continued to release albums appreciated by critics, including "Burst Apart" (2012), "Familiars" (2014) and "Green to Gold" (2017). Their most representative songs include "Kettering", "Epilogue", "Putting the Dog to Sleep" and "Two", which have contributed to defining the band's unique sound.
