lyrics
The hatchet’s buried and nothing grew
But a poison skyline, deceptive blue
And we’re all frozen while the world burns
How long until we’re past the point of no return?
Will you knock down the walls around your guilt?
How many hands, how many hands does it take
How many hands does it take to get a grip
The earth is shaking under the drill
The surface tension about to spill
The milk and honey of our own design
How long until we have to leave it all behind?
And where else could we go?
How many hands, how many hands does it take
How many hands does it take to get a grip?
Have you forgotten all our history?
We’ve hit rock bottom, the anchor’s fast
We fear the future, we can’t go back
And all around us, deceptive blue
How long until there’s not a point of view?
How many hands, how many hands does it take
How many hands does it take to get a grip?
How many hands, how many hands does it take
How many hands does it take to get a grip?

Immeasurably happy to find a recording that does justice to the live set I experienced at Wolf Trap on 7/23/23 (with Isa Burk and Ethan Jodziewicz). Sam Quinan
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
Edd Donovan's day job as a social worker brings a sense of empathy to his elegantly constructed political folk music. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 26, 2019
