Struggle to breathe There’s far too much smoke You say that you’re dying for a place to call your own So find your moment Can’t find it all alone Your house is big and wide But nothing feels like home Now strike up the band Play that same old song Darkness becomes you Like a warm, familiar hug No I’m not saying Things will be all right We’ll find a way Because there’s a light at the end There are bones within our bodies And a skin that covers all Though our hands and our feet are tired They show places that we’ve been We’ll still wear our smiles through crooked teeth Oh, no. I know. You say that you’re certain With so much uncertainty Life hung in the balance With time enough to see Fraught with indecision Spoken thoughtless lines We’ve been here before But you don’t seem to mind There are bones within our bodies And a skin that covers all Though our hands and our feet are tired They show places that we’ve been We’ll still wear our smiles through crooked teeth Oh, no. I know. Where there’s smoke There’s surely fire But you cannot find the flame And the spark that seemed to guide us Felt more like an empty claim And are we just the total Of all our parts combined? And if the world won’t hold us We’ll show them time after time Where there’s smoke There’s surely fire But you cannot find the flame And the spark that seemed to guide us Felt more like an empty claim And are we just the total Of all our parts combined? And if the world won’t hold us We’ll show them time after time They show us all the time.

about

small graves Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

small graves creates a frenzied mix of Iron Chic and Japandroids anthemic punk rock with a healthy dose of indie rock sincerity from bands like Tokyo Police Club and Death Cab for Cutie. Add to that the raw, gritty sound of 90s alt-rock bands like The Toadies and Silverchair, and you get a sound that feels nostalgic and familiar while tilling new sonic grounds. ... more
