ABOUT:

The immediacy of post-punk collides with dense dream-pop textures on I Used To Be A Sparrow's latest single "White Flags". This is the band's first release in over a year, following debut album "Luke" and sophomore record "You Are An Empty Artist".

lyrics

LYRICS:

I could be the one to give you all the answers
or I could be the bearer of bad news
I could be the madness coming your way now
or I could be the change you were craving

But now we're running out of options
I'm sick of stumbling in the dark
Now we're waiting for redemption
It's such a ghost, it never comes along

My eyes burn and my heart stopped beating
Am I awake or am I dreaming?
I could be the crowd that you're deceiving
but your tricks won't fool me twice, I've seen it.

But now we're running out of options
I'm sick of stumbling in the dark
Now we're waiting for redemption
It's such a ghost, it never comes along

I can never find a way to let go of you
Will I ever make sense
and then I'll let go of us

now we're running out of options
I'm sick of stumbling in the dark
Now we're waiting for redemption
It's such a ghost, it never comes along
