lyrics

When your friends descend, you must let them
When the party ends it's a blessing
Kill the lights, clear the floor, pay the drummer
Hollow tones, Roman roads, viper summer

And the nymphs never showed when we needed them to know
That the fever and the magic might be worth it
Look back, look now, start revealing
No one said that this dread would be healing

But we both know
You'll be doing this alone
But we both know
You'll be doing this alone

By the time that you find what you’re after
You’ll declare everywhere a disaster
What feels hard right now will get harder
But the blade that you made won’t be sharper

If your ears hear the hymns that I'm trying to keep in
Then you know where I go when I'm dreaming
When the end creeps in, it's a bummer
Hollow tones, Roman roads, viper summer

But we both know
You'll be doing this alone
But we both know
You'll be doing this alone

about

Virgin of the Birds San Francisco, California

Named after a poor English translation of a Salvador Dali painting, Virgin of the Birds treads a line between intimate, lo fi folk and the occasional grandeur of early art rock.
