Description
Paper Thick Walls is "a sweet miss-mash of influences from Wilco to Sufjan Stevens," with "a bit of Cursive's dramatics and a dash of the boldness found in bands such as Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire." (Loud Loop Press).
Lyrics
From an old weathered wooden dock I watched my poppa cast his line In a boat hovered atop lilies, fish refused to bite It’s a coping mechanism to immerse oneself in all white lovely scenes As an unfocused college kid I burned my books for my brother’s sake Back at home we await the occurrence of his slow remission I leave his window open for his brilliant artistry With a paint brush and the scene I’m in with poppa He draws us happy I dislike it just like him but yet I see all the bad things that happened are withering With a pen some paper and a pair of eyes he’s a magnet pulling what keeps us alive And we all discover that in this God has made us a place for the genuine It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you In states of denial I rest my head on how it feels in isolation. Oh, what lovely scenes
