When I’m aching with a pain I hesitate to say out loud (R)
When I’m making things worse with every word out of my mouth (C)
When conviction turns to stubbornness and I can’t give any ground (R)
When I can feel uncertainty curdle into doubt (C)
I need to stop for a minute and look at you
I need to stop when I’m spinnin’, ‘cause it does us no good
When the panic feels permanent
Only you can reel me in
I need to stop for a minute
Every failure is pressed between the pages of my mind(C)
Remember that love is not a ledger reconciled (R)
It’s a red thread through a piece of lace; It’s the grace that we allow (Both)
I know it when I see it and I’m seein’ it right now (Both)
Each time I stop for a minute and look at you
I need to stop when I’m spinnin’, ‘cause it does us no good
When the panic feels permanent
Only you can reel me in
I need to stop for a minute
Gotta stop it when I’m feeling so neurotic.
Self-defeating. Gotta listen to my heart and its incessant beating (x2)
Stop. Just stop.
I need to stop for a minute and look at you
I need to stop when I’m spinnin’, ‘cause it does us no good
When the panic feels permanent
Only you can reel me in
I need to stop for a minute
Devastating melodies and incisive lyrics mold the new album from Portland singer-songwriter Ac Sapphire into a folk rock miracle. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2022
Talk about going out on a high note. I know this group continues under an equally-impressive creative outlet, but the Polymaths close out their run with an astoundingly complete and compelling last effort. I love this so much. Patrick Book
