you keep all your promises
i break all of mine
all my greatest intentions leave me standing here
can you honor my attempts?
sometimes i should shut my mouth
and listen to your voice
temperance runs far away, leaving this regret
would to God my lesson stayed!
all my failures weigh me down
can you lift me up?
and as if to worsen it, no one ever leaves
may i have a second chance?
clouds hovering by day
fire blazing in the evening
rainbows to cover flood
rainbows and no more flooding

I'm a big fan of This Is My Suitcase. That being said, I'm very glad Mary Lynn has expanded beyond her previous band's initial sound. Mary finds herself in her music and flexes her chops as a very clever and deeply poetic songwriter. Grant Evan Nordine
The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
