lyrics

Now its me with the fingertips
cracking through your walls
feeling out what isn’t there
and screening all your calls
Another victim to the fall

Now its you on the other line
looking for someone
to drink the cup you’ve poured yourself
and make your bed undone
Really could have been anyone

What I couldn’t be

We revolve
around a chosen star
To be like them
and to reflect
on to other men
Fading out
where they are
into gray dust
Forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore

about

Book of Symbols Grand Rapids, Michigan

Describing its complex sound as a “collective vision of orchestrated sound,” Book of Symbols has taken a page or two from ’90s shoegaze, while bringing its eyes up to the new millennium’s shimmering horizon.
