The narrative of this track is pulled from a story I wrote four years ago. The cover art is a painting by Leila.

lyrics

I began in the waves
I found life in the blue-green depths
I found love in the daughter of a captain on the sea
But she was taken from me
The hatred gripped me
It held me fast and hard
The anger fueled me
And out came a wicked song
She was beautiful, and now she's gone.

Sinking down, I see the dark
Clinging to a crumbling rock
Life is a foggy sea for sinking in
A grey cloud to choke on, it's a holding pen

I felt my brother's spirit
Leave through my own hands
His breath stifled by my own ten digits and
I sang to stop the world
And hoped for nothing else
So on a silent globe I walked
Haunted only by myself

The Earth’s great sea may rest in me
Her rippling waves my comforter be
The Sky’s great winds may return again
But why ever so when one mustn’t breathe?
Why men of the world desire death
Why brothers give it generously to them
Is only revealed in the shift of the wind
And only concealed in me
