lyrics

We found our way out of the storm
We, the tired, the broken, the worn
The price that we've paid is too heavy, too lofty, to steep
But any port in a storm, maybe now get us some sleep

We fly by the seat of our pants
We, far too dependant on chance
Cross your fingers, cast your bones, spin the wheel, look to the skies
Nobody makes it through even when everyone tries

So just try and settle in
'Cause this house of cards surely will fall again
It will fall again

We climbed our way out of this trap
We just could not wait to go back
Cover your bases, say your prayers, cross your t's and dot all your i's
Everybody says it'll be okay but everybody knows everbody lies

So just try and settle in
'Cause this house of card surely will fall again
It will fall again, It'll fall again, again

We thought we were on the right track
We thought we could find our way back
The price that we paid was too heavy, too lofty, to much
Just do what we can and hope maybe it will be enough

And try not to make a sound
'Cause this avalanche will surely come crashing down
It'll come crashing down, it'll come crashing down to the ground

Fables of the Fall Denver, Colorado

Formed in 2017 out of the singer-songwriter sets of Schwa Michel (banjo, vocals). He was searching for a dark heavy folk sound, and found it in spades after joining forces with Derrick McGuire (mandolin, vocals), Lindsey Gardner (piano, accordion, vocals), Geoff Robinson (upright bass) and Ellen Rice (Cello).
