This song appears in the Bar Scene of Season 2, Episode 1 of True Detective. Of the song, Lera Lynn explained:
The music was definitely written for the scene. Nic’s got a pretty clear vision I think of what he wants. And he realizes how important the role of music is in film. And I think it’s such...
[Verse 1]
This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don’t
A kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home
[Chorus]
We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
[Verse 2]
The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
Maybe they’re yours, maybe they’re mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I am out of my mind
The one where you are just out of reach
The one where I stay and you fly
[Chorus]
I'm wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of the blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
[Outro]
