lyrics
Warm yourself under the heat vent
In this cold little world that we’re living in
Sometimes it’s nice to pretend
Sometimes it’s nice
Sometimes I wonder how much pretending
We do to survive
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Cool yourself under the faucet
Try not to think about what you would do
if you lost it
What is this life with no one to remember it by
What is a body in pain to you
And what if they multiply
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Close yourself off from the real world
Open only to listen to the same kind of people
How do I make it right
With two wrongs on either side
How have we come to this place
And who and what do we hide behind
Trial by fire
Trial by fire
Trial by fire

I think this is one of the most beautiful albums ever created. It pierces the soul and I feel renewed after every listen. Thank you Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker for one of the greatest works of songwriting and composition I've ever encountered! birdpatch
One of those rare timeless albums that you’ll never forget. Every single song is filled with immense emotion and beauty. A whole life in audio format. One of the few albums I can say is an actual 10/10 ericsublett
