about

great drama
is the first track of 4
from the upcoming EP
［ quiet as fire ］

(a tender dream
more like a nightmare
filled with
faces spiralling
and old lovers
that will never leave)

lyrics

great drama

hey hey
are you sleeping
let’s make you dream of something
that will twist you up
just a little
(just a little)

what if you were with the person
you think you love
they loved you back
and all that stuff
holding hands
laughing it off

you are in love
always have been
never admitted
now you’re screwed up
and stuck in those dreams
they follow you ‘round
wherever you go
they keep you up
until the daylight shows

great drama
great drama
a slap in the face
would probably feel better
don’t hate yourself
it is too late
now the lover’s gone
and you are out of head
but don’t
hate yourself now
it's never over yet
no, no
go back to sleeping

hey hey
are you awake now
(oh well)
just go back to sleep
and close your eyes
we’ll throw it at you
another dream
another dream
to make you feel like hell
but don't hate yourself now it's
only a dream
it's only...

there’s some sand in your pocket
and you can’t walk
"cause it’s too heavy
there’s some sand in your head
and it rolls up when you sleep
there’s some blood in your mouth
and you don’t know
where it’s coming from
there’s a noise in your head
there’s a siren
it won’t stop
(no no no no)
no it won’t
no it won’t
no it won’t stop

l i l a Québec

soft & slow sounds
from somewhere
between the sea
and the sky
hoping to comfort one
somehow,
sometimes
in the darkest times
