lyrics

I know you nursed me with a poison
Raised by the sickly taste
I know the recipe you toyed with
The blood of which I’m made

I know the needs I have enabled
I know my stitches by their name
Season the water I was boiled in
But I know you nursed me with a poison

I get my hit straight from the bottle
It goes right down the hatch
You have to know how I was coddled
To chastise me like that

I know the other side of heartache
I know the way to play the game
You want to see a good role model
But I get my hit straight from the bottle

I turned away from what I needed
Thought I could make a change
But I couldn’t turn away from feeling
Like I’d made a grave mistake

I spent my budget on a reprint
But the ink arranged itself the same
And now I’m broke, and now I’m bleeding
‘Cause I turned away from what I needed

about

Common Fires image

Common Fires Kelowna, British Columbia

Described as having “[melodies] akin to Ben Howard or Bon Iver’s rawest moments”, and as having both “the serene qualities of singer-songwriter music [and] the abstract tendencies of prog”, Common Fires is equal parts ambitious and moving.
