Opening song to the concept EP "The Young Man & The Sea". Here we're taking a look at the financial woes of a poor family, a father's failed attempt to provide for them, his death, his funeral, and a grieving family.
lyrics
In a dusty town, on a dirty street
there lives a man and his family
in a house he built with his own hands.
But times were tough, I know they were,
and I cant say when his pride was hurt
when he said, “Lord I donʼt know!”
His son was young and didnʼt know better
ʻcause if he did he would have seen sooner
his fatherʼs hands were what held him up.
His wife was young and didnʼt know better
ʻcause if she did she would have said sooner
“my love donʼt go...”
Keep breathing for both of us donʼt choke
on what youʼre given, even if the world falls on our heads.
Keep breathing for both of us donʼt choke on what youʼre given,
even if our world falls down.
And Itʼs black and white for the first time.
Iʼm lost to the world.
Numb to everything.
So weʼll dress up, and Iʼll drink to feel better.
Weʼre at the bottom of the bottle
Youʼre at the bottom of the sea
Weʼre at the bottom of the bottle
Youʼre at the bottom of the sea
Bring the black veil, the white shroud
Give it up to one of us, dress it up, and feel better.
Bring the black veil, the white shroud
Give it up to one of us, dress it up, and feel better.
Keep breathing, for both of us donʼt choke
on what youʼre given even if the world falls on our heads
keep breathing for both of us donʼt choke on what youʼre given
even if our world falls down.
Bring the black veil, the white shroud
Give it up to one of us, dress it up, and feel better.
Bring the black veil, the white shroud
Give it up to one of us, drink it up, and feel better.
“My Love donʼt go...”

I Can See Mountains is not just 15 letters arranged into words to form some band name. It’s a reason, a mindset, a statement of purpose and a family. We, The Drowned.
I love this band because of their witty & heartfelt writing. Not only that, but they are some of the best people I've ever had the chance to meet. We, The Drowned.
