lyrics

'TIL THE WEIGHT LIFTS

when did we become
one of our stories,
stuck and lost in time?

a memory rippling under
what’s frozen upon the ground?

time passes on and still it’s there
me and you
how strange for love
to live behind you

now I’m staring at nothing
nowhere to be
casting long shadows behind me
I chose the road
I chose time
now the wait is depending on you
‘til the weight lifts I’ll be waiting on you

now I’m wading through time like water
a kaleidoscope falling down
turning each colour
as I stare at the facets and muse
on your crystalline blues
and row upon rose coloured hues

like fall to winter
and winter to spring
no one could hold our unraveling
I chose the road
I chose time
now the wait is depending on you
‘til the weight lifts I’ll be..

like birds in formation
each memory of mine
they dance in murmeration
freed by time
and they’ll come round
when the landing is right

is it me they’re waiting on for truth?
what am I holding on to
‘til the weight gives way to you?

Age of Apathy

supported by 4 fans who also own “'Til The Weight Lifts (feat. Grégoire Maret)”

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
