lyrics

Statuesque sands
Quivering before the roaring blue's command
A cradle of beige
A titan of azure
The child gazes at the dormant sea
Envious awe
Insomniac soul shouts a yearning plea
Awakening call

The world grays
A clamoring wind roars
A thousand rippling hands
Lurch towards the shore

Strength drifts from my lungs
Breath lies atop the waves
Blue gives way to black
A casket of beige awaits my fall

The maw of the deep
Expand retract
The fangs of sleep
Upon my breadth
Air! Glorious air!
A celestial wisp!
Heavy water tears doom's grasp
Rising into the aperture
A new land

Lustrous paradise entombed by sleep
Citadels echoing deep
Denizens lost
Flesh as stone
Shimmering obelisk calls from the peak
Insomniac youth it seeks
A marble altar's lullaby
Restless saps
Chrono untap
A final breath
Resonation, rebirth

about

Angel Grave Chicago, Illinois

A raging supernova of distortion, clave worship, swing, psychedelia, and whatever musical matter is caught in orbit. All that's certain is groove and danger.
