lyrics

I always try to leave a little part of me off
somewhere deep inside you
but the ones that have been breaking off lately
just seem so far from my truth
I watched your eyes both parting tears like they were Moses
and your savior standing off on distant shores
wondering if I had ever really noticed the man I was before,
if he was there anymore

And I always thought I could predict
both our futures from the way your lips went sailing
Oh, but my tongue is a rudder, too,
and it sent me off to find another island
I watched you wish that you had never even met me
And for your sake, I guess I wish the same
I spent three long day inside of the belly of a whale of your blame
Forgot my real name

And when we’re born, tectonic plates move
until we grow up to a mountain
And all our actions break away our youth,
but we still dream of it in fountains
I’m sorry that I chipped away what makes you strong
I was searching for myself beneath your stones
But I just found there is no cure for all our longings in a temporary home, so I left you alone

And I awoke with your pain beating hard
against my heart till it went faster
And the sky was full of flames,
and the sun was tossing rays like God’s laughter
But how am I supposed to walk on water
when I am the only reason for the storm?
And the only thing that I have called a master keeps changing its form since the day I was born

Well, I know that words could never ever heal this;
you must wrap yourself in bandages of time
And the truth will grow from pain that I have caused us
till it falls from the vine
And one wind can’t blow us in different directions
One of us must do the work to row away
I volunteer my arms to break the wet reflections
if it’s you that needs to stay for some brand new day

On Separation

supported by 11 fans who also own “Bandages Of Time”

I absolutley LOVE the harmonies and the strings with this. It is BEAUTIFUL. You have such a way with layering those things together. It meshes so flawlessly. With the whole EP though I really enjoy the "lived in" feel to it. norma_grace

Dear Wormwood
by The Oh Hellos

supported by 9 fans who also own “Bandages Of Time”

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

Notos

The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
