lyrics

mothers tell your sons to never give up
fathers tell your daughters to hold on tight for dear life

it’s cold outside
I cannot hold much longer
maybe they were right
I was a fool to try
and the turbulence
keeps pulling me under
I’m so naïve sometimes
with these dreams of mine

doctors and philosophers
are we all alright inside?
preachers and rabbis, you holy men of God
is there hope for us or not?

when I was a boy I was hopeless
with an irrational fear of the darkness
as soon as the house grew quiet
all of my nightmares came alive

I’d hear a scratch on the window
I’d see a sinister shadow
and only the tick tock of the clock
could make the panic subside

well I’m older and wiser now
all my childish fears have been hollowed out
but those monsters in the closet
I would later grow fond of

‘cause all of these vivid maleficent images
testified to something limitless
then it was innocent bliss to ponder the infinite
now it’s just---

Daniel Pimentel Salt Lake City, Utah

Daniel Pimentel combines the timeless storytelling of American folk with the sonic bite of indie rock. His strength lies in instinctively honest poeticism; deployed by hauntingly desperate vocals over a tasteful waltz of dynamic instrumentals.
