Float Away

A perfect circle
A single splash of rain on dust dry soil
A prayer for a pool on a sun scorched day
To kill the thirst and wash the dirt away
For water to spring
to the surface to form the river’s source
To flow across the landscape to the sea
The start of this magnificent journey
I will float away, float out to sea
to see where I, was meant to be
I will float away, float out to sea
to be where I, was meant to be
And when the river
grows in depth and widens I will take
my boat and I will float on with the tide
Towards the sea and leave the land behind
I will watch the cattle drinking
and the heron and gull feeding
Can’t think of anywhere
That I would rather be
I will float away, float out to sea
To be where I was meant to be
I will float away, float out to sea
to see where I, was meant to be
Sometimes you leach down,
Into the porous rock where caverns form
I will crawl through the chambers on my knees
To the depths below and say 'Hi' to Hades
I will watch the Styx rising
From the weeping of the tortured
I really don't think this is where
I am meant to be
I should float away, float out to sea
and leave this hell, that consumed me
i will float away float out to sea
to be where I, was meant to be
I will float away, float out to sea
to see where I, was meant to be
I will float away, float out to sea
to be where I, was meant to be

Barefoot On The Ice

Trying to avoid all contact
To stop the reverse thermometer cold
Rising through your bones
You try to slow your panting breath
Listen for the cracks
Hoping the floor will hold
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Unknown depths beneath my feet
A watery freakshow
Of eyeless creatures down below
Could the lake consist of tears?
A hollow of despair
Some things are best not known
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Reflections held in the ice
the melt cannot reverse
The more we try to leave this place
The more we are immersed.
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice
I can’t escape the frozen lake
Barefoot on the ice

Sea of Days Brighton, UK
Fear can be a barrier when you are adrift. My heart is not working as it should and that is why this music needs to be made right now. Fusing the emotional weight of The National with music that has echoes of The Cure, Post Rock and Shoegaze. The songs acknowledge darkness but are always hopeful. ... more
