about

A new single by Natural Velvet from the forthcoming EP Cruel Optimism

lyrics

In my dreams the roof crashes down on me
I drown in its collected rainwater
Couldn’t be much worse than this—a touch of madness
Feelings of you touching the back of my neck

Let this be the last
Song I hear
I’ve replayed it
Too many times

In my dreams I’m back in the lake
Conceal my sense of want, small and soft
Summertime touch is bliss—a touch of madness
To memorize a soul alone

Let these be the words
That embody me
I’ve said goodbye
Cruel optimism

Don’t you know that I’m worth it
Even if I don’t believe it
Go on replace me
I keep you honest

I’m all I have
Your blue companion
I drown in your skin
Lover and histories
Please oh my love
Please will you keep me (now)

This will be the last
Time I try to
Stay high on you
Cyclical regret

Don’t you know that I’m worth it
Even if I don’t believe it
Go on replace me
I keep you honest

Don’t you know that I’m worth it
Even if I don’t believe it
Go on replace me
I keep you honest

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect. I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
