Out on Spotify, Apple Music & everywhere October 16
For Elliot
For Elliot is a song about loneliness and getting old, the saddest Just One Branch has made, and it does not soften anything: a voice that feels alone everywhere it goes, wonders whether the thing it is missing is God, and pictures itself perched on a bench in old age, looking back to a masquerade and a man named Elliot. It is hyper-depressive on purpose, it never lifts, and it turns a lot of listeners off.

Lyrics
My mama
My mama don't lie to me even if its for my benefit.
One time in a masquerade there was a man named Elliot
Hum
Missing Something
Theres something that i'm missing is it god?
Theres something that im wishing for.
There's something that I'm missing is it god.
There's something that I'm wishing for.
Rock Could Talk
Everywhere I go I feel all alone.
It's almost as if I'm stoned for stones.
If a rock could talk could talk
I'm perched up on a bench when I'm old.
Once upon a time in the masquerade.
Everywhere i go i feel all alone.
It's almost as if I'm stoned for stones.
If a rock could talk could talk.
I'm perched up on a bench when I'm old.
Once upon a time in the masquerade.
Ending
my mama don't lie to me even if it's for my benefit.
One time in a masquerade there was a man named Elliot.
The line being sung lights up while the song plays.
