This single is our first release for 2020, off our upcoming EP

lyrics

It’s the overtime
From five to nine
Put the kids to bed
Needle and thread

Stitching up the tears
This mess of theirs
Planning out the week
New hour, new tweak

We gotta do the heart work
It ain’t easy when we feel that
We’re doing all the heart work
When it should be even

The wind blows
A change in
Now we know
We’re straining

It’s the daily grind
Be patient, redo, remind
Think one step ahead
If you, then we, or I could instead

Christmas coming soon
They just assume
Well what does she like
Here’s the card, just sign it

We gotta do the heart work
It ain’t easy when we feel that
We’re doing all the heart work
When it should be even

Now my eyes
Are open
It’s futile
To try to close them
You don’t know
But you’ll learn
I’ve grown
It’s your turn

Now my eyes are open
There’s nothing could make me want to close them
It’s not enough anymore to just do as you’re told
You’ve got to know where that road goes
We were assigned this role, it wasn’t chosen
And the more we know about the system at work to control us
The more it chafes and the weight gets too great
The heart closes, love grows cold
It gets brittle and frozen
Soon it only takes a tap for it to shatter
So how can you feel that it doesn’t really matter?

We gotta do the heart work
It ain’t easy when we feel that
We’re doing all the heart work
When it should be even

Come on and make your heart work
Beat in step with mine
Could be so divine
If we share out all the heart work
It would be easier by far
