lyrics

What the hell have I done
my hands are numb
and you are outside screaming

Vodka still on my tongue
I heard what you did
and I could not stop drinking

Sobbing here in my sheets you stared
you up at me and swore that he meant nothing
TV. blaring downstairs your words in my ears
and now the walls are spinning.

I remember you said you wanted someone
to love you like your dad did.
A man who'd never be this staggering sick
slurring I don't mean it.

Broken glass on the floor
your name on my lips
I thought that I'd be like him.

Well I wish I was.
I wish I was,

but I am my father's son. I feel his hands on the back of my brain stem.
I am my father's son.
I hear his words in the back of my throat all night.

about

ithica Tulsa, Oklahoma

"Ithica presents a sprawling sonic dream scape of shimmering electro-pop that recalls M83, The Postal Service and TV on the Radio. It’s an ambitious blend of electronica and organic instrumentation that’s ethereal, emotional... It’s pop on a grand scale, but it still manages to retain the intimacy of a folk artist’s labor of love."
