Lyrics
Shellstar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nothing changes the condition: Dormant sooted desertion
When a violet peeling shows teeth glowing
Horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying
A sublime wander through summer fire
The char, the ash, the cough, the roar
I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling
I question the reason in this furnace of revealing
Salvage the illusion of once mint gardens
Before a violet peeling showed teeth glowing
Horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying
When it takes you, you'll be remembered
Young and kind for all time
I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling
I question the reason in this furnace of revealing
All my reasons gone
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping
Yearning for touch but it's all too much
