lyrics

Faceless
Only just beginning
Jaded
Shy and unwilling
Wasted
In the taste of forgetting
Stainless
But your heart keeps slipping

Ooo, ooo

I’ve fallen for fakes and fools
Seems like you’ve been there too
Trying to suss out why
It seems like you’re someone I knew

No I won’t be around
Hit me up when you’re in town
Though it can’t be assumed
I’ll be seeing you soon
So forgotten and untied
Left a friend in my eye
It was nice to be loved

Thinking
On places left behind
Talking
So what’s been on your mind?
Searching
For meaning in the dust
Sharing
The gravity that holds us

We burn like a manic fire
Day passes sultry and dim
Waiting on freedom, desire
Met with a bittersweet end

No I won’t be around
Hit me up when you’re in town
Though it can’t be assumed
I’ll be seeing you soon
So forgotten and untied

No I won’t be around
Hit me up when you’re in town
Though it can’t be assumed
I’ll be seeing you soon
After all those peachy nights
Left a friend in my eye
It was nice to be loved

One look inside
The heart decides
No… I couldn’t be worthy of missing
Smile, my relief
Reverse the tide
Doubt becoming belief
Doubt becoming belief

about

Jitensha Montreal, Québec

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
