lyrics
I call your name every time I want to die
and one of these days you won’t be there
I press the keys as I plead to hear your voice
and one of these days you won’t care
you can be happy now
you can be happy now
all alone and lost at sea
waving from the shore
was never what you planned
but don’t you drift too far from me
where do you go when the island’s cold
just lines in a poem of what could be
and will your flame come flooding in, every time I feel the end
will you be there and here and all around me
you can be happy now
you can be happy now
all alone and lost at sea
waving from the shore
was never what you planned
but don’t you drift too far from me

A stellar cast of artists put their own shadowy spins on recent Bestial Mouths material—toward the goth club floor or into pure noise. Bandcamp New & Notable May 11, 2021
I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
