lyrics

i'm in a holding pattern
something's got me by the neck
i want to give it name, give it a name
so i can give it away, give it away
rising to the surface like an oil separates
from the water i came, water i came
now i'm what i create, what i create

i've been waiting to land for so long
i keep combing the sands looking for someone
waving a flag to signal safety
but still i circle the earth and nothing's changing

i'm in a holding patter
desires splintered in my sleep
and keep me always awake, always awake
i've got something to say, something to say
but i always cut my tongue off
and fight my mouth instead, blood red
wash it away, wash it away
i'm what i create, what i create

there's a stain on my skin nobody sees
and it's seeping beneath, seeping beneath
now it's a part of me, a part of me

i've been waiting to land for so long
i keep combing the sands looking for someone
waving a flag to signal safety
but still i circle the earth and nothing's changing

i've been waiting to land for so long

i've been waiting to land for so long
i keep combing the sands looking for someone
waving a flag to signal safety
but still i circle the earth and nothing's changing
i've been waiting to land for so long
i keep coming the sands looking for someone
waving a flag to signal safety
but still i circle the earth and nothing's changing

I Am Lightyear image

I Am Lightyear Brooklyn, New York

I Am Lightyear, the new electro-pop baby of Lauren Zettler, is the product of reinvention. Lightyear combines stark, popping electronics, warm, bouncing basslines and Zettler’s own airy vocals, to create a sound that’s both human and intangible—filled with space and feeling. It’s strong music that addresses vulnerability while revering strength, in the tradition of Emily Haines and Patty Griffin ... more
