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, clamoring winds roar
A thousand rippling hands lurch towards the shore
An earthen slumber to aquatic rage
Encircling water, a numb child on the tidal stage

Strength drifts from my lungs, breath lies atop the waves
Blue fades to black, a casket 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
Restlessness 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.
