lyrics

Polyurethane
Covering your pretty face in the rain
Young, dumb, victim of the sad song
You spent all your time in your mother’s arms
Now when go outside the sun will burn your eyes

So pry yourself away but not too fast
You'll waste precious years picking asphalt from your hands
And knees
Those knees above your feet

So shed your soft lace fringes before they leave their mark
Because when you're soft when you’re soft
The hard will keep coming at every cost
And don't let the soil stain your skin
Their initial judgment never sees you from within

Don't spend all your time digging holes in the grass
Because when you're in, when you're in, you're inside
You'll long for it the rest of your life

Moth fly, brush your powder across my skin
And swarm around the porch light
And keep the day from dying

How will you go

Oceanography Oakland, California

Oceanography is the solo project of Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Kelly.
