lyrics
give me something I can hold with my own hands
a machine that ticks and gears I can understand
make me move from place to place
a puzzle I can chase
a new and different kind of land
I don’t want to be just trapped inside a screen
I want to be held. I want to be seen
I want you to be real
to be someone I can feel
somewhere I can rest and lean
maybe I am scared or old
don’t want to plug in or be bold
because I think it’s worth my while
to share a room with your smile
to make you something I can hold
a machine that ticks and gears I can understand
make me move from place to place
a puzzle I can chase
a new and different kind of land
I don’t want to be just trapped inside a screen
I want to be held. I want to be seen
I want you to be real
to be someone I can feel
somewhere I can rest and lean
maybe I am scared or old
don’t want to plug in or be bold
because I think it’s worth my while
to share a room with your smile
to make you something I can hold

Standing Stones is one of the best albums I have ever listened to. Every song on it is excellent, and some are just some of the best songs I’ve heard. I can’t even pick a favorite song between Bones, Independence, Hope, Vespers... really all of them. Just listen to it. Thank you for releasing this incredible album.
