Other Bomethius
Airo-plains

This is the first track, for the upcoming album, that wasn't made exclusively on my iphone. I wrote it over the course of the past two days, whilst in the midst of finals... which made studying more irritating than usual—all I wanted to do was finish this, and maybe eat a bowl of cereal or something. Anywho here 'tis.

Lyrics:
Airplanes fall towards the sky
Another day has passed us by
By the most beautiful seconds of our misery.

These numbers and letters they
govern our lives so...
they delete what really mattered,
insatiably they grow.

So come run and hide with me.
Come along and fly with me.

Trees droop towards the earth.
Light smiles through their branches
onto my head.

So we'll swallow our joy and relief.
And hate ourselves a little longer. A little longer.

*I do not take full credit for the opening theme, as it was loosely developed a few years ago in collaboration with Nate Zivin—a friend with whom I used to write exclusively. I came across an old voice memo recording of that writing session, and figured, since it doesn't appear to be going anywhere, that I would grant this happy melody a song.
