lyrics

the chrysalis cry sweeps the sea to us
as the wind takes off its mask of anger and distrust
climb inside a bird and fly past abstraction tower
listen to the ocean's song in the early morning hour

and when you hear the waves
you see which dreams left you blind
cross the sand and kiss the maresia
dive deep into the jade midtide

hide inside a rotting den and let out your diamond mind
there beneath the sinking pools of horizontal rain
share these ruins with children who don't look up above
blow their smoke and flowers and bones resting in the mud

It's just a wish to escape
that which you thought was real
thought you had a key in your mouth
but it was just a knife in your hand
