LYRICS
I am drowning man
Since the day I was born
Mermaids swim around me
Give peace of mind
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days
There's a piano
On the ocean floor
Playing a song
I'm drinking it in
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Chain of coral round my neck
The mayor of sand and kelp
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days

LYRICS
Emboldened enough
To write the letter
It’s like pulling teeth
Fitting words together
Don’t you think it’s time to
Start again
Again
All seeing but blind
Seeking whatever
Glows from the grit
But for the other
Shines and dulls
Only because
This one’s a glimmer in the dark
Our beautiful machine will spark
Long into the city’s glowing heart
This feeling of plenty
Is in my bones
We wore the chains
Connected creepy
Magnesia
My darling’s sleepy
Even still she’s glimmering
Tonight
Tonight
This feeling of plenty
Is in my bones
Our beautiful machine will spark (This feeling of plenty)
Long into the city’s glowing heart (Is in my bones)

This music takes me places. Death Engine in particular is transcendental. Very special song.

Orbweaving
by Midwife & Vyva Melinkolya
A rich tapestry of layered vocals and guitars, thick with the paralyzing heat of a Southwestern summer.
