lyrics

Soul’s a wild cat
So hard to catch
Stuffed in like a match
When I unlatch, hold me

What is a home
When you’ve always roamed
Eating stardust and stoned?
Maybe it’s right under my nose

Home, home
floating in a concrete gray sea
Hope, hope
Treasure locked away with a key
Raw, raw
Memories of a place you didn’t need
Dig, plant
A barren land that grows a fear seed

Never gonna find it that way, you've been looking in the shadows

Mind once was pure,
now insecure
delusional and sure
Eating clouds might be a cure.

Maps on a wall
Faded and small
Lines and colors call
Maybe if I fall, I’m free.

Breathe, breathe
Tree shedding all your pretty leaves
Whole, whole,
you’re letting go the things you didn’t need

Time, time,
pulls away at your tethered soul
Smoke, smoke,
curls in lungs to fill up all the holes

Never gonna find it that way, you've been looking in the shadows

They create an energetic live electro sound without the use of computers. ... more
