Do Not Resuscitate

lyrics

The furnace needs fixing
The fire inside fades
And you know more than all, without a crispy fall
A winter has its way with me
At dead, dry leaves I’m shouting,
And dead, dry limbs I’m counting out
The furnace needs fixing
And I’m left all alone

Fall away, these winds will suffocate me
Fall away, and frost will freeze my bones
Fall away, this winter’s gonna break me
Do not resuscitate me

Well all of these hollows
And all these things I’ve claimed
And all of these swallows
And the gables they vacate
They’re dead daydreams I vomit
And dead dry names I often call myself
The furnace's sickness
It never had a face, not me,

All of my friends are gone
Looking right through you
I woke up this morning
I pulled back the blinds
I drew the figure, I traced the smokey lines
How quickly they've faded, my signal has died
How quickly they faded

The only way, these winds will suffocate me
Only way, this frost will freeze my bones
Only way, this winter’s gonna break me
If you don't resuscitate me
Will you resuscitate me from this code?
Save me from this cold

All of the shadows
All of the signs

about

"Every once in a blue moon you get blown away by an act you’d previously not heard of. Fans of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, fans ... more of great music and art in general need to be aware of Tall Heights. What an incredible duo.” –Ryan Montbleau

“a mellifluous mix of guitar, cello and vocal harmonies…a low-fi recording style and unique percussion act as perfect condiments” –Performer Magazine less
