lyrics

Put your armor on, you don't know what's out there.
When they stare from the sun, they will burn your bones bare.
Can you paint this picture without a brush or canvas?
Tell me who's in control among handless mechanics.

If you find you're hated by all other living things,
don't find your hatred in all other living things.

We will rest....
...pull oceans into small boxes. gaze upon all you really have.

The devil can cite the scripture for his motives alone.
And to stoke up hell fires, spies are hiding in your home.
They put on the airs that you were breathing. Nothing to fill in your lungs.
But if you're drowning in the cold deep, you will not flail alone.

But if you find you waited for something good to drop in.
You'll find your fate is sealed unless you learn to swim.

We will rest heads on shoulders.
We will rest heads on shoulders.
Hold fast hearts are anchors.
(Pull oceans into small boxes. Gaze upon all you really have.)
We will rest heads on shoulders.
(Pull oceans into small boxes. Gaze upon all you really have.)

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 5 fans who also own “Pull Oceans”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
