about

Second song off the upcoming album. An ode to writing while half asleep.

lyrics

Snow-white orchids in the window
Lights like flares on the lake
I'm halfway out of this limbo
And there is destiny at stake
Under a glittering sea of stars
There's a zephyr in my fingers
Let's give this heart a few more bars
But the other side still lingers

And I know it well enough
To say that I belong here
This place is ethereal
This place is ephemeral

Fields of daisies on a hill
One I'm willing to die on
I get so nervous sitting still
Need a skirmish to rely on
Under all the wrong impressions
There is foolishness abound
Way too many small concessions
Keep the helplessness around

And I know it well enough
To say that I belong here
This place is ethereal
This place is ephemeral

Blooming roses in the garden
I'm awake but still right there
Visions clearly cut from carbon
Their existence seems unfair
Under a melancholy ceiling
There's no room for another sky
And so this elevating feeling
Always ends in a slow goodbye

And I know it well enough
To say that I belong here
This place is ethereal
This place is ephemeral
Ephemeral
Ephemeral
