lyrics

When I was younger I could tell you
Any lie you’d want to hear
Like whiskey is harmless, sleep is useless
And you’re my only love my dear.

My voice could charm you into bed girl,
And out again before the dawn
You’d give me your trust and your devotion
And in the morning I’d be gone

But lies are hollow, and truth is heavy
It weighs me down like a stone
Truth now cuts me to the bone.

All of that changed when I fist saw her
And kissed her in that sunny glen
She held out her hand and called me onwards
Beyond the realms of mortal men

Three paths she showed me on the hillside
To Heaven, Hell, and Faerie they lead
The first was in brambles, the second Hellfire,
The third across a river red.

But thorns they cut you, and flames they bite you,
The road to Heaven is steep.
Give my lying tongue to Faerie to keep.

Blood on my hands, blood on my hands!
God, what have I done?
I wade across this river of war

And I can’t go back, I can’t go back,
For seven years I must stay,
Speak no longer, truth now holds me here.

about

The Forgetmenauts Berkeley, California

The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad. ... more
