lyrics

Restoration

It was cold. Se’jus had been sitting on the dock for hours, sleep that comes quickly leaves quite the same. Her strength was failing, she’d known for some time now. Gently the breeze brushed her hair, as the dock rocked her; the world was singing her to slumber. Just as her eyes saw the drawing of the curtain, a sailboat slowly came out of the fog and ushered in restoration.
No words were spoken when their eyes met; no words were available. Once on the dock, Numah gently took Se’jus’ hands in his and the clouds were unlocked. Tears streamed from their eyes like the rain that separated them, but soon embrace turned to hold as Se’jus’ life began to slip away.
Gently, Numah sat Se’jus down with him on the dock and looked out to sea. “Come now Se’jus, let’s watch the stars.” With that Se’jus drew her last breath, that certain breeze that breaks winter and brings spring. For she had acted true, and truth requires sacrifice. Only an hour after coming to unity, Numah buried Se’jus and along with her that small notebook that brought the rain. Inscribed on the last page next to her heart were the words that would resonate like the gasp of the stars:
Through the wind the waves crash on, marking the moments our lives describe. A call is made to flesh and bone, in silence the hope of the coming tides.
The constant pursuit for truths’ define, perceptions askew we lost our own. Let awareness reign throughout these times, to let the lighthouse guide us home.

ADVICE

I love the smooth synths, and silk-like vocals over the mix. The psychedelic overtones are always on point. Love this band. Walking Relic

Dance Music for Sad People

This is post punk at its finest. The roaring guitars and smooth synths over extrememly intricate percussion paired with John's vocal make a fantastic experience! Walking Relic
