lyrics

i draw the curtains and i draw the bath
and i’m alone at last with the aftermath
i dream i’m drowning and i dream i turn to foam
and sometimes i can’t help but bring it home

he says he understands and i’m sure he does
but that don’t stop the sinking in my guts
it’s hard to shake it once it makes it in so low
and sometimes i can’t help but bring it home

the charioteer at the end of day leads the horses to sleep somewhere out of the way
they make their bed in the dusk, the dust, and clay

it lingers in the air, catches on the breath
it hollows out a hole ’til there’s nothing left
and you can’t fight it, only ride it ’til it’s done
and sometimes you can’t help but bring it home

the charioteer with the golden reins sings the horses to sleep as he brushes their manes
but even he can’t keep the dreams away

i give him every single part of me
except there’s just one part i can’t quite reach
i want to share it though i bear it on my own
and sometimes i can’t help but bring it home
and sometimes i can’t help but bring it home

about

Matthew Connor image

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
