Thanks to spending the past four weeks in my room (via a twisted ankle*), I’ve had more time than usual to write songs, which I’ve found is a very relaxing and non-destructive way to spend time, especially with my new Orchid/Telepathic keyboard/synthesizer, which features prominently in both songs below.
*Thank you to my friend Susan, who recommended Solomon’s Seal Oil (Polygonatum biflorum) from Red Moon Herbs. I think it’s helping!
Death Culture at Sea // ‘Maybe It’s Time To Rise Above’
Days go by, the leaves are turning
All my life, looking out the window
Maybe it’s time to rise above
Oh, the night is longer than a shadow
Feel the light, coming through the shade
(Maybe it’s finally time)
Maybe it’s time to rise above
Leave my side, my heart is empty
Turn the tide, and wander through the streets
Death Culture at Sea // ‘The Last Hurrah’
Late night and the candle is out, each thought is a specter
Strange light, an angel is waiting
Say goodnight to the rest of the show
Men rise and the histories appear
They kill and it’s nothing
Say goodbye, it may be forever
The last hurrah and into the snow
