If I ran to the house where the tiger butterfly swam to,
would I be out of my mind?
Well, that’s where I sleep and that’s where we meet
My calloused finger tips trace the veins of your secrets
We metamorphosise in cycles, always reborn and recycled
And despite the growing pain I would do it again
Shedding our dry dragon scales as we amass legends and tales
And despite the moving pain I would do it again and again
Infinitely again and again
I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast
Away from everything that was holding me back
One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me
If I ran to the hill where the tiger butterfly swam to,
Would I be out of my mind?
We placed his ashes next to hers
And then they alchemized and turned
They alchemized and turned
They alchemized and turned
I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast
Away from everything that was holding me back
One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me
I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast
Away from everything that was holding me back
One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me

temperance (demo)

The waves engraved beneath the boulders that you’re buried under
Eternal flames that blast their rays at our unknown futures
You stared at the curves of the water on my wooden mask
That I tied behind my head on a pillow of a tangled mess
Lying down on beds of storms of uncertainty,
pouring out a lack of clarity
I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping
We’re a flock of cranes, always in the clouds
Looking for the lunar eclipse, constantly constructing
An army of oral histories,
with the weapons of our enemies
To reincarnate them into our comrades
I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping
Catching sparks of inspiration like fireflies
With sticky sharpies on backs of torn cardboard packaging
The perfect insurrection fire starter for starters
We’re always in the stars, we’re constantly deconstructing
I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping
The waves engraved beneath the boulders that you’re buried under
Eternal flames that blast their rays at our unknown futures

metal dragons (demo)
03:29
|

Can you see
the metal dragons flying around the midnight periphery
Of your young ocean memories
And the dirt of the land that you inhaled
From which your summer saplings wailed
And grew into a name you never failed
To carry
I was seeking for the corners where you hide
to sing to you inside
And follow the fallen petals that lead us to your guides
You had never met them before in your life
Til you listened for the forest tides
And all the tree creatures that sang along
Twin flowers sprouting in knots
Intertwining in cycles
Around the softest stone
This season I’ll change my ways
Cause we’re stuck with the blooming flame
That’ll burn us to the bone
But we’ll learn to embrace it
Can you see
the metal dragons flying around the midnight periphery
Of your young ocean memories
And the dirt of the land that you inhaled
From which your summer saplings wailed
And grew into a name you never failed
To carry
You grew into a name you never failed
To carry

tied

Everywhere I turn my knotted back I feel your scissors clipping at
The bottom of the juniper tree
Where you spend the years with the fallen berries
Shards of shredded skin decomposing through acid rain and city drains
On gum drenched side walks cherry blossom petals melt and
I see you slipping
Underwater, secret passage, bits of plastic in my pockets
Holding onto safety wishes for this liquid journey
I’ve agreed to embark on
How long should I wait
The medium told me that you want me back
I am a peninsula of my own
There’s a part of us that will always stay tied
Palindromes and anagrams of your essence on restaurant signs I pass by
On my midnight bus ride home
A line of divers, matriarchal, piecing back the power puzzle
Gasping for the oceans of my mother
The kelp and algae have made it known
How long should I wait
The medium told me that you want me back
I am a peninsula of my own
There’s a part of us that will always stay tied
I am a peninsula of my own
There’s a part of us that will always stay tied

My blood stained sheets turn pink
As I start to sink into
The deep, deep textiles
Im drowning in dreams
Where we promised to meet
But you’ve been gone for a while
You've been gone, you've been gone
You've been gone for a while
Pinecones and seashells
A mountain spirit out to sea
Talismans buried in your skin cells
We’re trapped inside different realities
Maybe I’ll see you in the next life
We don’t have to feel so blue
That we miss out on what’s really floating around
The sun knocks on my window
The cat scratches my door
Nicotine withdrawal shakes my achey bones
As I hold onto this ocean floor
I hold on, I ground myself
I ground myself with this ocean floor
Pinecones and seashells
A mountain spirit out to sea
Talismans buried in your skin cells
We’re trapped inside different realities
Maybe I’ll see you in the next life
We don’t have to feel so blue
That we miss out on what’s really floating around
We’re diving in
I’m believing in something more
They can’t take away our laughter
They can’t take away our shore
We’re diving in
I’m believing in something more
They can’t take away our laughter
They can’t take away our shore
Pinecones and seashells
A mountain spirit out to sea
Talismans buried in your skin cells
We’re trapped inside different realities
Maybe I’ll see you in the next life
We don’t have to feel so blue
That we miss out on what’s really floating around
Pinecones and seashells
A mountain spirit out to sea
Talismans buried in your skin cells
We’re trapped inside different realities
Maybe I’ll see you in the next life
We don’t have to feel so blue
That we miss out on what’s really floating around
on what’s really floating around
