Roar - Obedient Shape

Copied!

If you're gonna wait
Wait til you know that it's safe
Wait til you're sure that it's safe

Then you can't complain
When it feels like you're frozen in place
Feels like you're frozen in place

Taking each day like a torrent of waves
Carving expressions in your stony face

Crushed by sea like it's a routine (it's a routine, it's a routine)

In that wake is an obedient shape
If you want change, you'll have to learn how to not drown
Til then it seems to have to work itself out

In that wake is an obedient shape
If you want change, you'll have to learn how to not drown
Til then it seems to have to work itself out

To bless distress I wither away
I try to remember but I know I can't keep track of the things you say

To bless distress I wither away
I try to remember but I know I can't keep track of the things you say

Biography

edit bio

Roar is the project of Arizona-based musician Owen Evans. After the disbandment of his previous band Asleep In The Sea (for whom “Duck and Ape” was originally written before being reinterpreted as “Duck Or Ape”), Owens decided to take up the mantle of songwriting and producing alone. Eventually, in 2016, Evans became the touring drummer for fellow Arizona-based folk-punk band AJJ. This was the same year that he released his first full-length album as Roar, Impossible Animals.
