Discovered by accident and now I am completely flashed. On 10/21/2022 I was one of those 5 people who listened to the live stream of "The Long Jump" on Youtube. If you like music in the old style of White Lies, Editors, Trophy Eyes, The Killers or the old Coldplay, listen to FOREIGNFOX. You will not be disappointed. Every time you listen to it again, you will be more immersed in the atmosphere of this incredibly well done post-rock music. Just wow!
Favorite track: Blinded By My Ending.
Started from a longjump a mile high, they said he flew right through the sky, nobody asked him why,
started taking his past out of context and killed our community, because everyone believed, every one but me,
I rewound back to the epicentre to witness from the start, it started the exact same way as you and me, i told you and it broke your heart.
I learned it all from the long jump, and this is only the beginning, and it never ends.
Echoing my sentiment in to my baby's ear, she almost shed a tear, but she hadn't felt for years, standing upon the precipice you asked just whens my turn, if we're to do this inperpetuity 'cause we're never gonna learn.
My distilled dream, tried my best to stay clean, its such a shame I'll always stay the same, you will not, you will change, and all your beauty and your grace, will be let go from these chains when I exit frame,
talk to me when I'm drunk again, talk to me when I'm drunk again, I'll do my best to pretend, that I can live like this
Pour me another 16 drinks, I've got big shoes to fill I've got big ships to sink, I sink a new one every day, I'm never more than half awake, with everything at stake.
Thats what happens when your body ceases ,
Broke my heart into 50 pieces, called my shrink and told the priestess, voodoo ceremony to kill my leeches, prancing above me in my bed, all the lies that failure teaches, prop me up to lose my head
It was all a phase, it comes in waves,
it was all a phase,
And the world’s a stage,
and all I do is fake,
I’m never fully awake,
I destroy the things I make,
to make a new one everyday,
watch it burn away,
like the bridge I’m standing on,
I made a mistake,
And who can I blame for these ill invited terrors?
All of my errors won’t wash off
I shrunk down to your father's size,
God knows I lost, God knows I tried,
to replace the fractions you can’t divide,
send me on my way tonight.
It was all a phase, just a transcendental haze,
that left us in a daze,
you are my new found craze,
you are all the drugs we take,
you are the perfect words to say,
to make me wanna stay,
Spin, spin me a tale,
spin me the gospel fabrication,
because I almost believed that I wasn’t worth the waiting,
but I know I’m worth my weight in gold,
although I’d never claim as much,
I shrunk down to your father's size,
God knows I lost, God knows I tried,
to replace the fractions you can’t divide,
send me on my way tonight.
it was all a phase
