Sound of Erasing Lyrics
We were baptized in the ocean
To the sound of us erasing
All the demons that were chasing us
Drown them out out out
Oh I wish I was a planet
With a forest full of answers
But instead I'm just a human freaking out out out
I won't let you worry now
Don't take me off this cloud
This is the sound of us erasing
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
I thought you were a dancer
So fuck your inhibitions
Here's a better answer
Drown 'em out out out
Here's the sound of starting over
It's an ocean full of cold
Or maybe just a cormorant
Calling out out out
I won't let you worry now
Don't take me off this cloud
Don't take me off this cloud
This is the sound of us erasing
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
Oh it's the sound of a
I hear the sound of a
Wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
To the sound of us erasing
All the demons that were chasing us
Drown them out out out
With a forest full of answers
But instead I'm just a human freaking out out out
Don't take me off this cloud
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
So fuck your inhibitions
Here's a better answer
Drown 'em out out out
It's an ocean full of cold
Or maybe just a cormorant
Calling out out out
Don't take me off this cloud
Don't take me off this cloud
This is the sound of a wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
Take us away-ay-ay-ay
I hear the sound of a
Wa-a-a-a-a-ave
Take us away-ay-ay-ay

According to Kalmia Traver on their Tinydesk concert the song is about "skinny-dipping your pain away."
@lose311 I forget she said that, thanks for the reminder. I love that Tiny Desk Concert. Best Rubblebucket concert I have found on the web so far, really great performance, and sound mixing that lets you hear her singing.
