lyrics

You are my gallows. You are my sin. From the first time I let you in. I remember the time we almost touched. In the moment, a quiver, I knew you too much. The taste of your skin or the nape of your neck, I will never, never forget. I’ll be your scapegoat who hangs from a tree. Dangling so we can be free — you after me. You are my gallows. You are my sin. From the first time I let you in. I remember the first time we touched. In the moment, a quiver, you knew me too much.

The Lakes of Alberta (Part One)
by Graham Wright

Besides the fact that Graham is a friend and I (Dean from Papermaps) got to record and play a bunch of instruments on it and that the music is amazing, this record is what introduced me to Bandcamp. Papermaps
