lyrics

We've been holding on to days last light
I'm beginning to plead across the ghostly night
'Cause it won't wait for you
'Cause it won't wait for you.

We should have headed back!
We should have run when the light demanded lingering
When we weren't afraid
When we could have raced the rays and found the way but hold back!
Hold back the mysteries that were screeching through the trees
The rattled leaves like a devil in green
Still holding on...

It don't matter, those long legs
Won't carry you fast enough
Did you close your eyes?
Don't close your eyes.

Wait! Meet me in the clearing
Wait! Meet me in the clearing

Hold us up to the starlight, what do you believe in?
There's no saying if this twilight holds the key
When all the nights grow cold, will we die or will we thrive?
Does it matter here?

Wait! Meet me in the clearing

Central
by thermal features

Thermal Features has some of the most soothing (and jarring) music I've ever heard on a solo bass. Each piece is like a little portrait, deep in sound, but satisfying in its brevity. Dead Kings of Norway

Crystals in the Deep
by Crystals in the Deep

Crystals in the Deep is the other band that I make music with. It's darker and more laid back than Dead Kings of Norway. So far it's just the one album but we'll be writing another soon. Dead Kings of Norway
