Here we come, stinking like glue / Every summer, waiting out in the cold / The crows will pick our bones of what we could have done / Underneath the flood, cities dressed in gold / Leaves are turning, isn't that true / And our sweetest surrender is beating down the door / The crows will pick our bones of what we should have done / Underneath the flood, recording the sound of flesh and bone / The crows will pick our bones of what we should have done / Underneath the flood, cities dressed in gold / Underneath the flood, recording the sound of flesh and bone.

Say it's OK / I’m going with or without you / A life uncolored is not the one we're drawn for / Through all the skies we'll reach out / The fire below will soon collapse our lungs / Say it’s OK / Our Moon: The Queen is at bay / Brace for cover and let the ones you love go / Through all the skies we'll reach out / The fire below will soon collapse our lungs.

New Feeling 04:54
The comets over head / It’s such a new feeling / It's 4 a.m. again / Not long before they come for us / All the roads we can't erase / Stumble till we fall and feel it come through us / A pouring overload carried on too long / All the roads we can't erase / All the roads screaming our name / The comets over head / It's such a new feeling / Stumble till we fall and feel it come through us / All the roads we can't erase / All the roads screaming our name / Tie me to the web and crawl away / Tie me down to burn away.

Fumes 03:56
When I cool off, all the fumes will brace our fall / When I let light through, all the fumes will dance around our hides / While I come back to ground, hell will carve our names through the fall / When hearts unfasten, who's to say we'll make it out alive / Let moods furl underneath the hand lens / When I cool off, all the fumes will brace our fall / As I fall back to ground, hell will carve a noose around our hides / When hearts unfasten, who's to say we'll make it out alive / We can sing of fire and rescind the storm / When hearts unfasten, who's to say we'll make it out alive / When hearts unfasten, who's to say we'll make it out alive / When hearts unfasten / Here’s to the anchors we haven’t climbed / And if that corpse turns over, promise me the flies won’t hear the sound.

Thirst 04:54
Like we all need another goddamn hex dragged in / Vainglorious drivel sale / And the bedroom mirrors light up / So open up wide / Don't let it go / Light up as the walls talk / Don't let it come for me / Eaten out at the altar in white / Wave in the wolf as she flashes that tired ass, thirsty grin / I’ll count these old fingers until the earth washes it down / Don't let it go / Light up as the walls talk / Don't let it come for me / Eaten out at the altar in white / Don't let it go / Sit back let the walls talk.

Bleed your conscience bedside and heave face first passed the wretched machine / Smothered up in warm clouds of what flames downed last / Inculpable dreams I wouldn't dare remove / Crawling out on feathered waves / Unfastened / A foreign love through endless ink / Plugged in / Veiling lights that call out / Between the eyes of fallen worlds / Breathing out the last star that dreamt face first passed the wretched machine / Horizon hearts on black ice / On what the sky drowned last / Inculpable dreams unraveling / Swallowed up by endless weight / Extraction / A foreign love through endless ink / Plugged in / Victim to veiling lights that call out / Written between the eyes of fallen worlds.
11.
Lay still / This won't hurt / Eyes unravel in / Light fills these walls and breathes within you / Pull out and move on to new terrain / Or sink in / One hand to hold us under / We're all in this now / We're all in this together / Writhing, big thirst / Swarms your chrysalis / Make it louder / Illuminate / Pull out and move on to new terrain / Or sink in / One hand to hold us under / We're all in this now / We're all in this together.

about

usLights' debut LP 'wæs' (2017) rides tsunami-like waves of synth-heavy alt-rock and dream-pop. The band sets a mode and tone that’s unfulfilled by simply digesting “singles”, where the lyrics serve as sort of chapter titles for whatever depth the listener allows him, her, or theirself to drift down in. Each track serves as its own gateway. And that gateway, for the sake of interpretation, begins at the break of dawn. Where it goes from there, over the course of the day, is up to the listener.
