lyrics
Chapter 2 - The Reunion
“There’s your signal…faint, but there”
Word of you walking…for who? And to where?
Your loyalty “In the shadow of the Bear"
Split like the symbol, “ending up nowhere”
“[Take] the robot with you [now]”
It was reshaped, it will obey
“Let us test that strength. That…conviction. Courier”
“[Giants sleep] beneath the earth”
The land reshaped, the land betrayed
“Let us test that strength. That…conviction. Courier”
“There’s still life in the divide -
Threats other than the storms”
Those threats are marked
Where they came in, they now rest
The Bear, the Bull, the men, their crests
“Just as the Divide […so] they tear at each other”
Equal in their shared history
Their skin exposed, in pain, in need
"Just as the Divide […so] they tear at each other”
It’s not my voice, but the paths we have walked
“The place you gave life to […] the Long 15 to Primm…
I’ve been to your home”
Never close enough, always just alone
Lone, lone, lone…
Identity is either had or found,
“Not my given name, [but] close enough”
In the Old World, inspired and bound
My world has two flags that I will make
One and the same, one and the same
“He made a mark without being myth.”
“Who are you, who do not know your history?”
Follow the marks, follow the colors
“They’ll lead you to your home [once] more”

We're Only Human is Sean Capek, one who aspires to capture the inspiration and impact of music that he has identified for himself so he may give the same to others.
Mostly recorded during late nights, hence the title, this EP is full of whispery synthpop that is both beguiling and mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2022
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
