lyrics

Why do we create? Are we lonely? Is the ocean calling? Or just an empty craving for belonging. Hunger, the flesh we are born in. Famine of spirit. The ghost of suffering and friendship. Our father’s eyes end. Waves they begin in mother’s light, will flicker untethered.
Hand drawn we recede. Dry and bleeding. In dead ashes falling.  Fills us an empty phrasing for our longing. Wonder the mesh we are shorn with canyon air clear it. The ghost flows. That flutter one way trip. Our father’s arms dig graves that will spin. In mother’s mind we’ll flicker forever.
We are born in famine of spirit, the ghost of suffering and friendship. Our father’s eyes end. Waves they begin. In mother’s light will flicker untethered. We are shorn with canyon air clear it. The ghost flows. That flutter one way trip. Our father’s arms dig graves that will spin. In mother’s mind we’ll flicker forever.
