Bury It

by Squill

1.
Flinch 02:20
I’m scared of the light I don’t believe it Sure the sun comes out But it turns to night quick I flinch like some kind of monster When you turn on me Like I’m some kind of monster The screen reflects me when it grows dim Shiny and dark Sure looks like you’re up to something So you leave your mark
2.
A knife drags through the middle of you You didn’t expect it to It’s cold And the metal don’t shine like it used to The raven laughs Outside my window The rain does splash Cinder and coals You think before every word It’s obvious you don’t believe in yourself They see into the backs of your eyes They are hollow now They don’t see the light
3.
Lean 02:45
You still weigh heavy on me You used to lean On every curve of my spine Now I ache - as if your pain were still mine The whisper on the wind Is that you’ve changed But the tides on the Sound Roll in and out The moon shifts its shape with time Yours holds a fate that isn’t mine
4.
Lost Objects 02:57
In your room Small things That we found together Lay around Lost objects in the sand All I do is remember I do not know how to start over In my room The sun sets The golden dust shows our age It settles down like teardrops in the sand It covers us like a wave I do not know how to start over
5.
Old Skin 02:02
The skin on my fingers Makes everything feel dull Layers and layers of dead skin on my bones It is painful to peel away The past that keeps you the same To feel the wind on your brand skin Exposed and left for display The light is barely shining Making everything feel dull It’s the dawn of the morning That pierces through my skull Sometimes it’s okay To be sad and let the world fall away To revel in your dead old skin And let the tides wash the bay
6.
Sliver II 04:19
The moon hangs low on Olympia A sliver shows - the tides rise high Thought I saw you walking saltwater Thought I saw you out on The Sound I thought I could stop the needle That causes you to drown But you fall asleep before the waves crest That wash over you a cover of bliss Your mind grows weary the needle grows thin An open sore that lets it all in The streetlights glow Your face once familiar You keep hold of your shiny, dull paper Thought I saw you walking up the hill That takes you all the way home Your reflection caught my eye Your shadow is all that I found
7.
Red Mexico 02:02
I-5 cries outside my window Great big sighs Knowing more than we could know The lost where do they go The moon it shines In the dead of night glows Watch it rise Over a red Mexico We are lost and then we go The wind it flies Carries those who know Which way to ride And how we die nice and slow Feather falls we fly to close
8.
Bury It 03:04
Your demons sit just beneath your eyelids A fog that fills your waking head From the dream that told you You were already dead And it follows you Like a shadow no one sees So you bury it deep What mountains sit on your chest? Weigh you down heavy as lead Is your reflection one that makes you cringe? Pulling at the places wishing you could forget?
9.
Tidal Waves 02:22
Why hasn’t the moon Brought you closer to me It tugs at the tides It pulls at the sea I dream in tidal waves Feathers fall From things that fly Too close to the sun Big star that shines I dream in tidal waves

about

"Bury It" is the second album from Lily Richeson aka Squill of Olympia, WA. Lily writes the songs and leads this group, you may know her from the band Parasol (two albums on Lost Sound Tapes) or her other excellent, european touring, pop punk trio, Bad Sleep. For this album Squill sheds their third superfluous "L" from the band name. Squilll -> Squill. This small but meaningful change is an indicator of the refinement and crystallization of the band's music and songwriting from the previous album "Daughters Of The Earth" to this brand new 9 song offering. While the title may appear to indicate an end, a death, or a denial, these songs in fact also emanate hope and pave way for renewal, a fresh start, a new beginning.
