"The Mariner's Remedy"

I once met a man in a Mariner’s hat
In the undergrounds of a smoke-filled reverie
Ten strides back up to industrial Boom Boom Boom
He asked me to come his way
Fed me broken avant-garde memories
Had me choking on his charmed antiquities

Ahh Ahh
Then in the sweet morning hour
When the birds throats did flower songs upon us
The Kraken's opened me up at the bottom of the sea
Fukushima is in me
Cussed and cleaved by his sandalwooden skin
Take me in and drink me down
Take me  in and drink me down

Ahh Ahh
That night full of nitrogen
Gentlemen burning up
So they can float away into the sea
If you meet a man in a Mariner’s hat
You’ll never see him again
Cause he’s swallowed by the sea

ENGLISH LYRICS

I saw you marching to the Bastille

I saw you marching to the Bastille

Oh, what's he gonna do to me?

Do you know what you'll do to me?

 

CHORUS

So, invite your friends, invite your friends, invite you friends Invite your friends, invite your friends, invite your friends Invite tes amis, invite tes amis, invite tes amis (x4)

 

And, slap on that Speedo, you French babe

 

Azure seasides, cigarettes et rosé

Inspire your peers

Confetti crimes, will the deserts ever rhyme?

Je ne parle pas bien le français

Malgré l'amour c’est un autre langue gai

 

CHORUS

 

I saw you marching to the Bastille (x9)

Oh, what's he gonna do to me?

Do you know what you did to me?

"It Started in the Garden"

It started in the garden

It started in the trees

You took me to the garden

And you took me to the trees

 

Put feathers in your pockets

You showed me ancient trees

I told you I was dangerous

Yet you still devoured me

CHORUS
If you hear them calling,

The wolves around your knees,

They remember that you fed me Nootka roses in the trees

 

Latency is ringing,

But the flowers are still sweet

I no longer hear you singing You no longer long for me

 

It ended in the garden

It ended in the trees

You took her to the garden

And you took her under the trees

 

CHORUS

 

Soon the trees will take you

While your ivy clings to me

Wrapped up in what was before

Pining melancholy sore

 

I will taste all of the roses, Nootka roses, sweet sweet roses

I will taste all of the roses

Hoping that they will help heal me

 

You can find me in the garden

You can find me in the trees

Eating roses in the garden

Hoping that you will come kiss

me

"Chrysalis" from 'The Blooming'

Get found in the circles
Get caught in the lines
Get found in the circles
Get caught in the lines

 

CHORUS
Si beau si belle
I want in your spell
Si beau si belle
I want in your spell

Ahh

Lay down in the lilacs and see purple skies
Glass clouds bring you silence
There’s nothing to hide

CHORUS

Get found in the circles
Get caught in the lines
Get found in the circles
Get caught in the lines

CHORUS

Stay young obsidian
It got hot, let’s cool down
Stay young obsidian
You went too fast, come lay in sound

Chrysalis fossilized weaving a crystal tide
The orchids calibrate for the sepals to seep in your spine
Lucid lingerings
I’ll show you how the insects sing

Get found
Get found
Get found
Get found in the circles
Get caught in the lines

"Hollow Hands" from 'The Blooming'

There’s no safety when summer is over
She falls and withers while sings
You hold me with the hollowest hands now
What love you bring

 

Time won’t follow us in the sweetest of sounds
Time won’t follow us in the places we found

No more, my love has swallowed me whole
I’m torn by the state of it all

She wore the words that tethered my soul
It goes, I’ve learned so hollow

 

Time won’t follow us in the sweetest of sounds
Time won’t follow us in the places we found

Time won’t follow us in the sweetest of sounds
Time won’t follow us in the places we found

©

"Sun-Eyed" from 'The Blooming'

Sun-eyed
Sun-eyed
Seeing every part of you

 

Hung high
Hung high
Seasons change. I’m breathing you

 

Tongue tied
Tongue tied
Losing every part of you

 

Dark side
Dark side
It’s OK. It’s teaching you

 

CHORUS

Sun-eyed
Sun-eyed
Seeing every part of you (x7)

I want to love you in all your darkness
I want to love you in all the darkness

The Warming

The water is colourful in India, my dear

We went to China but couldn't see the sun for it disappeared

I hear everyone is going to the cities these days

Tell me, can you see the stories in the sky with all of the haze?

 

CHORUS

This is the warming

This is the warming

This is the warming

 

Melting mountains

People counting

Down, the animals down

The animals down

Can you even hear their sound?

 

This is not just a pretty song

This is what is really going on

 

So keep your water holy, holy, holy - smokes

The forests blowing, blowing, blowing - chokes

The fish now floating, floating, floating

 

We need the land and the seas

Go let them hold you

We need the birds (bzzz) and the bees

For their love story

Not just a once upon a time

 

We're on the brink, behold

We're on the brink, be bold

This is the warming

On Fire 

It's burning out of control

We should have listened

I'm yearning for something whole

For something whole

Feel the static in the air

For there's lightning that you bear

Up above the sky is red 

Up above it cracks. It's bled

And all the world's on fire (x2)

It's time for change 

So we can stay alive

We cannot stay the same

We have to change our lives

Feel the static in the air

For there's lightning that you bear

Up above the sky is red 

Up above it cracks. It's bled

And all the world's on fire (x4)

On fire 

Fire

And all the world's on fire (x2)
