Winter 04:02
Little one Waiting on your Porch In my mind In my head All these things Falling into place This time we'll be on our way This time we'll find things we'll say All our days with All our problems All our years go by When I'm out I'll feel your warmth On my heart and on my hands In winter we're interred Settle softly In our place Fire and sweaters Sheets are laid You said to be always okay I said you'll be always okay You said I'll be always okay

Garlic Mine 05:06
Pebbles along the bottom of a stream Daisies under water by the shore Digging to the center of the earth I'm going home I'm going home Ceniza, saguaro de la mina You don't want me But you would haunt me My heart is a rock I throw down my rock Kick it in the street I'm not in the dirt It's just my rock in the dirt My hands are clean My head is clean I'm not a rock I'm not a rock Sonita, estrellas cobres I'm going home I'm going home If I lose you I will see you in the dark And if I can't hear you I'll go under water And if I can't feel you I will consume a little more And when I do I will see you And I will hear your voice And I will find your rock

Sea Song 05:51
Love is slowly Going slowly Drifting out in the sea I know you’re onto me I pull you into me It’s only twenty below I lost composure And wanted closure It’s rolling I lost my patience With innovation Inventions I’m not afraid I’m not afraid One foot, two, and three Hold these oranges Hold this compass Hold my head in your hands With silent features Break nuclear winter These blurry faces I was bulletproof With nothing left to lose And these sunken ships We’re pulling our anchors and casting off We want it, we need it, it’s all we bleed With scriptures and flowers, we’re hanging threads We’re worn out and weathered, we’re wiring hearts We shiver together Our bones are weak

Launch Pad 04:07
Waiting, testing speaking Levers, gears, and stations Program, anesthetic Pushing higher, faster NASA research capsule Schedule, surface weather Light up failure, countdown Launch pad, burning, lift off Today I don’t want to be inside Launch pad, waiting to be fired Today I don’t want to be in bed Launch pad, waiting to be dead Mission, omens, science Heat shield, cargo, payload Over cities, people Watching, counting, firing Today I don’t want to be inside Launch pad, waiting to be fired Today I don’t want to be in bed Launch pad, waiting to be dead

Keeping low Keeping clean Every year Something dies Yes it’s no Grin and fall Lose your face Splitting heads Go to flame Something dies Go to war Lose your face Yes it’s no Grin and fall Lose your face Splitting heads

Old Nevada 02:04
I took the first flight Out of desperate notions From a lonely valley In the dead of winter I don’t need to be home Got a sofa to sleep on I don’t need your fragrance Got a dream to sleep to And it’s snowing on a Friday And I don’t know what I’m doing And I don’t know what I’m doing I’ll be fine Disappearing Like the Old Nevada With her seedy waitress And a dream of jackpot And a new shrimp cocktail I went to Massachusetts To be far, far away I’m dreaming I’ll drown, I’ll drown, I’m dreaming And it’s snowing on a Friday And I don’t know what I’m doing And I don’t know what I’m doing I’ll be fine

I’ve lost all my energy I’ve lost all my sound There’s nothing in symmetry We’ve taken it down I lost all my enemies I lost all my friends I’ll take her lobotomy She’ll put me to bed Mama I’m in love again I’m going away Wait by the infirmary I swear I’m okay I’m sorry I fell again Tell all of the rest I didn’t mean anything We meant for the best I’m up on my luck again My ship’s rolling in Things aren’t so bad with me They put me to bed I lost all my dignity I’m down on the ground I’m rowing out memories I can’t make a sound Cut off all my fingernails I’ll send them to France My ears are in jeopardy She’s stolen my sense Mama I’m in love again Take care of the pets Watch over my sanity And all of the rest
8.
We All Leave 04:10
Someday I’m walking away Someday I will leave We all leave The rooms are spinning We all leave In my spaceship I left this world Birds are leaving All blue and shaking In my spaceship I’ll leave this world Dogs in spaceships We all leave Lighthouse in the moon I’ll be ready soon Au revoir dear you I will see you soon We all leave

Lovely riverbed Flowing in my head Dirty feet and hands Going further than we know we should Lights among the trees in summer All these little things you ever meant We’re on fire now Leaves and trees and sounds Keep our faces down Humming all these trials and melodies Lights among the trees in summer Calling you and beckoning you back Falling even faster than I know inside my head I ever should Stumble through the darkened nettles If we ever lose in battle I’ll remember all the things you did Hiding safely in our hammocks Ankles, elbows from our attics Whispering our love for all that’s good Lovely riverbed Flowing through my hands Dirty feet and head Going further than we know we should Crossing into murky water Someone’s calling don’t go further Going places no one’s ever stood Lights among the trees in summer All these little things you ever kept If we ever lose in battle I’ll remember all the things you did

Return 05:45
For the first time, I am in my head Let me go there, let me be myself All I want is always further down the bend Gotta get me something, something to hold me down I miss your face I miss your ways today I went to mountains, falling asleep on the way Head on my shoulder, forget the world’s pain Faces I miss your mind, I miss your voice in the street I miss your face I miss your ways today All I wanted was someday return to this place All I want is somehow return to this place I miss your face I miss your ways today

about

Hand in the Attic Seattle, Washington

Hand in the Attic is a Seattle-based independent folk-rock group that released its self-titled album in July 2013.

HITA's sound hints at influences including M. Ward, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel and Midlake, yet it has been molded into something entirely unique.

"The band’s strength lies in its ability to change shape from song to song without abandoning its sound." — Seattle Weekly
