Lay down your arms,
lay down your songs,
the wars aren't over,
but something is saying they won't be long.
So lay down the light,
we'll hold through the night.
Voices will come and go,
but hearts will stay.
Lay down your bow,
lay down your stones,
the storms haven’t passed us,
but something is saying the worst is all but done.
So lay down the light,
we’ll hold through the night.
We've lived these lives
over again, over again,
and we'll live these lives
over again, over again.
We always knew
that what kept us apart
was false, not true,
and that in time, we’ll see,
we will love once more.
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
