I caught a candle’s flame,
You swallowed it; it’s all the same, I know
I know, but sometimes I forget.
“I hoped you’d put it in a jewel,
But now it’s gone, and I’m the fool,” I yelled,
I yelled, but how I heard myself.
And how I lost you in the trees!
Or did you run away from me?
I deserved it anyhow.
I tried to build anew,
And shake the hope of finding you again,
Again, or nevermore again.
But for all of human strife and pain,
Our biggest fault, to be so plain; so plain!
So plain, but to see the other side.
And you—well, you blessed my wretched eyes
To see magic far and wide,
To know it could be mine
If I could only track it down.
The drought in full, I packed my bags.
“I have to leave this heat-sick land!”—I know,
I know, I could’ve thought it through.
And to everyone I wandered past,
I turned them skyward, smiled, and asked, “Will you?
Will you please tell me what you see?
Oh, will you please tell me what you see?”
They’d see the Sun, the sky, the trees, the clouds;
The Moon when she was out,
But that was all.
I said, “If I could find
Just one more soul with spirit eyes, I know,
I know that we could reach that land.”
And we’d drag the sunset into night
And craft ourselves a fairy light of flame,
Of flame that shines so clear.
And you, should we chance to meet again,
I would lay out my old sins,
If only we can make amends
Then you can eat them if you like.
I've never found anything else like Unseenmachine. Analog and synthesized sounds are melted together into a perfect alloy, the songs flow easily together while spiraling about in delicious eddies. Street Nymphs
