lyrics

I chisel grains of sand to see again,
climbing down from thirsty wood.
I stumble down a woolen waterfall,
Illuminated like it should.

So when I venture into what has been,
where can I actually say I am?
For that shall be another way to wake me up,
it's always part of the plan.

The painted man invites me to the home,
where the fire meets each guest.
A cheery guy is changing frequencies
most of the sounds here are the best.

So when I venture into what has been,
where can i actually say I am?
For most events are never planned, they just occur,
Similar to how we began
(How we began!)

Scorpion tail
(Is it out? I can’t see… Get it out!)
I can’t help!
(You have the tools to remove it!)

Yes… but don’t you see the tail, is impaling you.

There will be demons that will circle you,
because there will always be fear,
But see them as blessings in disguise,
and what was vague will become clear.

Life is not a bed of roses, and if it were
You'd still discover thorns
Every night you occupy your mind with dreams,
You die to be reborn.

Whether you're awake to see,
every day begins with an orange dawn.
And just to throw it in, I have faith in you;
We climbed out from… the… (Storm)

!!!!!!AIUSDFOAGJKHASDIGHDF!!!!!!

Sitting in the cemetery,
of the issues I have buried
Flip a coin, ‘cause I'm now very
Sure that this will end.

Now I'm scared of February,
Pour the moon a glass of sherry
He has not felt quite so merry,
since he was condemned

Passing days are temporary,
Challenges, there will be many.
Rise above the cold and scary,
This i recommend

Are my actions Legendary?
I'm not sure if I am ready…
Sitting in the cemetery…
Time for this to end.

about

Aztec Manhattan England, UK

Hiya :)
My name is Dathan and I write/perform music for many different reasons. One of them is it makes me happy and that's enough of a motive to experiment with it.
I avoid sticking to one genre/style/rhythm as there are countless patterns and mechanisms to recycle and create, so it seems only right that my music should sound like a drunken eskimo exploring the amazon with a bamboo flute. ... more
